Who is the 'Him' in Isaiah 42:1?
The "Him" in Isaiah 42:1 is the Messiah, the Christ, the coming One. He is an already established personality and a member of the Deity, upon whom God puts His Spirit. The verse shifts to future tense, showing He shall bring forth judgment or rule to the Gentiles.
Les explains that in Isaiah 42:1 the personal pronoun "Him" refers to the Messiah, the Christ, the One who is coming. He points out that this One was already an established personality and a member of the Deity before the future tense statement "He shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles." Les notes God has not forgotten the Gentiles; He will reach them after He has prepared the covenant people. So the "Him" is the Messiah, the Christ, the coming One, a member of the Deity.
Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
