There are many people who see Isaiah 49 as Messianc, mainly because it mentions the servant as being a light for the gentiles,
Isaiah 49:6(ESV)
> he says: “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
> to raise up the tribes of Jacob
> and to bring back the preserved of Israel; I will make you as a light for the nations,
> that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
But in the verse before it states that, the servant was formed from the womb.
Isaiah 49:5(ESV)
> And now the Lord says,
> he who **formed** me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him;
> and that Israel might be gathered to him— for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord,
> and my God has become my strength—
This seems like it is being stated that the servant was formed in the sense of creation in the womb. So what is going on here?
