The Marred Servant is he the Black Sheep of the Family?
My Questions to the Isaiah Institute dated August 27th, 2023
These are just some of the questions I have at the moment.
I know many are answered in Avraham Gileadi's books -of which I have most.
I would like to hear other people's thoughts. I've not looked at this relationship with the Assyrians as yet in the below questions.
These are just my brainstorming questions which I want to tick off.
Can we identify the Marred/Davidic Servant if there is to be one?
What Identifying marks are there about him & his potential location?
What do we know? The focus has to be on him he is the focus if he is to be a touchstone for others - "if he can do it, you can do it" so to speak He is to be Israel's Proxy according to Avraham Gileadi
His Sins are said to be as Scarlet Isaiah 1:18
He has been or is, a covetous, Idolotrous/adulterous person Isaiah 1:18. He represents the Scarlet Women He is to be washed clean & have those Sins made Snow White Psalm 51:7 "Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow".
He has to be of the tribe of Judah & Ephraim See Isaiah 11. Doc & Cov 113: 4&6 with the Spirit of Benjamin?
He has a special purpose in life to play & therefore is an integral part of the House of Israel.
He has to be healed by the Lord first Spiritually as part of his Assent see Isaiah 57: 17&18.
His mourners will also receive peace & comfort & spiritual healing when he is healed. Isaiah 57: verses 18 & 19. Therefore it is reasonable to say that he will be known by some people as he repents and assents up or is restored to God's favor to receive comforts. (maybe Temple Blessing),.
He will speak of things before they come to pass Isaiah 42:9.
he will be acknowledged by the Leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints see Bruce R. McConkie Millennial Messiah page 326 3rd paragraph. under Chapter Heading The Restoration of the Ten Tribes.
There will be at leases main two main witnesses. see Isaiah 8:2
From where will he Come it is said from the East is that East of the USA as a continent - there from England back
He is to be acknowledged by & gathered in the Gentile Israel nations 3Nephi21. Europe England USA.
Kings, the President will be astonished by him 3Nephi 20 & 21 Isaiah 52:15
He will have knowledge of and priesthood power to control the Heavens, ( Planets/Comets), as Moses did with the Children of Israel Doc & Cov 89: 21.88:93. 133:3.
He is the Arm of the Lord & will Make it Bare Isaiah 52: 10. 53:1. 62:8. Doc & Cov 88:93. 133: 3. "The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God."
He will Part the Great Deep Doc & Cov 133:17-36 Isaiah 19:23. 35:8 40:3
He is to be despised & disbelieved by those in the Church & the world in general.
He is Scared physically - especially his face ( maybe burnt with acid). Isaiah 52:14, 3Nephi 20: 44. "As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men"
My question is in relation to Isaiah 57 verses 15-19 & Ezekiel 33:31.
In verse 17 the Lord says he was wroth with him because of his covetousness
and that he smote him for it.
It sounds like he's spiritually marred here.
Yet it looks like he repents of his iniquity. & the Lord heals him & restores “Comforts” back to him Verse 18.
My question:- I”s the “Marred” Servant a member of the Church or of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or was he once a member?
To be restored with Comforts implies that he once stood in God's grace– would those comforts be Temple Blessings?
Footnote b in verse 17 takes you to Ezekiel 33:31 & if you read that verse in the first person of He Him & His then it seems to suggest that the marred servant belonged or belongs to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
17. For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went of frowardly in the way of his heart.
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
And [He] come [s] unto thee as the people cometh, and [He] sit before thee as my people, and [He] hear thy words, but [He] will not do them: for with [His] mouth [He] shew much love, but [His] heart goeth after [His] covetousness.
And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.

And it shall come to pass that “kings shall shut their mouths: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they have not heard shall they behold,” Isa. 52:15 3 Ne. 21:8 a marvelous work and a wonder, Isa. 29:14 2 Ne. 25:17 a work that the Lord would perform in the latter days. Gen. 50:25 (JST) 1 Ne. 15:13,18 2 Ne. 3:5 A strange work, a strange act, Isa. 28:21 so-called by Isaiah the Prophet.
O that I had time to go into the numerous prophecies in the Book of Mormon and point out the desolations that are to come upon this nation and this generation if they do not repent! But every jot and every tittle that has not been fulfilled since the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, will be fulfilled to the very letter. Zion will arise, clothed with [p. 29b] the glory of her God; D&C 84:100-101 D&C 82:14 Isa. 60:1-2 the Lord will be her defense; Isa. 4:5 he will be her shield Ps. 5:12 and her buckler; Ps. 18:2 and the power of his own right hand will protect his people. Ps. 20:6 And it shall come to pass that every nation, and every kindred and tongue and people that will fight against the people of God, and against his Zion, will perish out of the earth, 1 Ne. 22:19 and all nations that “fight against Mount Zion shall become as the dream of a night vision.
Like a hungry man who dreams and thinks that he eats, but he wakes and his soul has appetite;” Isa. 29:7-8 2 Ne. 27:3 so, in the latter days, it shall be with not only one nation but all the nations that fight against Mount Zion. God has stretched forth his hand to exert the powers of the heavens, D&C 84:119 and he will fulfill and accomplish his work; and there is no power beneath the heavens that can stay his almighty hand. D&C 38:33 Amen.
The following comments I added Wd 30th Aug 2023.
I found some interesting scriptures regarding the location of the "servant" if there is to be one?
Isaiah 60:5
Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
Isaiah 60:9
Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
Now this is also talking about the "servant" be servant nations & people & in Particular Great Britain & the USA
Yet if we go by what the Isaiah Insitute & Averham Gileadi teaching these scriptures with others can or would apply to the "marred servant"?
