Isaiah 53 (Entire Chapter)
How misused: Claims the 'Suffering Servant' refers to the remnant of the nation of Israel suffering for the Gentiles, explicitly denying it refers to the Messiah.
Scripture's answer: The text uses singular pronouns distinguishing the Servant *from* the people ('For the transgression of MY PEOPLE was he stricken' - Isa 53:8). Israel is consistently identified as the sinful servant (Isa 42:19), only the Messiah is the righteous servant.

Isaiah 43:11
How misused: Uses 'Beside Me there is no savior' to argue that Jesus cannot be Savior because he is distinct from the Father.
Scripture's answer: This text asserts Monotheism against idolatry. In Christian theology, Jesus is the Incarnation of YHWH; therefore, Jesus acts as Savior *because* He is God, fulfilling this verse rather than contradicting it.

Zechariah 12:10
How misused: In debates on Messiah Ben Yosef, mimics standard anti-missionary polemics changing 'look on Me whom they pierced' to 'look on him' or applying it to a slain general.
Scripture's answer: The Hebrew (Masoretic Text) says 'look unto Me' (Aleph-Tav), identifying the pierced one as YHWH Himself, confirming the deity of the suffering one.

Daniel 9:24-27
How misused: Implied in the denial of the Messianic timeline; argues 'Mashiach' here is a high priest or Cyrus being cut off, not an eschatological Savior.
Scripture's answer: The timeline of 70 weeks points perfectly to 30-33 AD. A mere priest's death does not atone for iniquity or bring in everlasting righteousness as the text demands.

Leviticus 4:3
How misused: Cites the 'Anointed Priest' usage to strip the title 'Messiah' of its eschatological uniqueness, reducing it to a functional job description.
Scripture's answer: While 'anointed' is used for priests, the Tanakh develops a specific 'The Anointed' (Psalm 2) who reigns globally. Systematic theology recognizes the Type (priest) pointing to the Antitype (Jesus).

Isaiah 45:1
How misused: Uses Cyrus being called 'Messiah' (anointed) to argue that the Messiah need not be Jewish or holy, just a political agent.
Scripture's answer: Cyrus is a temporal deliverer acting as a shadow. This does not negate the specific line of David prophecies (2 Samuel 7) requiring the ultimate Messiah to be a Son of David and Son of God.

Hosea 13:4
How misused: Parallel literalism to Isaiah 43:11 to deny the mediation of Christ.

Psalm 2:7
How misused: Implied in the 'Ben David' discussion; interprets 'You are my Son' as metaphorical adoption of the King/Nation, denying ontological Sonship.
Scripture's answer: The NT and ancient Jewish authorities acknowledged a divine aspect to this Sonship, which includes receiving the nations as an inheritance—something no earthly king achieved.
