Why Is Isaiah 49:7 A Big Problem For Jehovah's Witnesses To Understand?

The prophecy of Isaiah 49:7 (NRSV) tells us the following:

Thus says the Lord,
the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One,
to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nations,
the slave of rulers,
“Kings shall see and stand up;
princes, and they shall prostrate themselves,
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

To All Concerned Jehovah's Witnesses (Former or Current), or Interested persons:

We all recall during Jesus' earthly life and ministry, he was never revered by "kings" and "princes" of this world. And never did they ever, ever "BOW DOWN" or "PROSTRATE THEMSELVES" to Jesus while he was on earth, thus showing great respect to him ... "rising up" even before him, out of respect for his superior kingship.

Therefore, the churches of christendom say this prophecy then, must be fulfilled when Jesus comes back to earth to rule it, as a man. (Zechariah 8:23) However, we know Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe Jesus will ever come back to live upon the earth, as a man, in order to rule it and get glory & respect from earth's rulers. And yet, the prophecy does clearly show this will happen, by saying:

"This is what Jehovah, the Repurchaser of Israel, his Holy One, has said to him that is despised in soul, to him that is detested by the nation, to the servant of rulers: "Kings themselves will see and certainly rise up, [and] princes, and they will bow down, by reason of Jehovah, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who chooses you." -- Isaiah 49:7 (New World Translation)

How do you think this prophecy will be fulfilled?

When will this happen?

Remember, according to all Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watchtower Society, all of the earth's political rulers (Kings/Princes) have been completely destroyed at "Armageddon," isn't that so???

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Are the teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses truly aligned with the original scriptures, or have doctrines been subtly altered over time? How can members discern authentic truth from potential distortions?

Hi Cleo,

Are the teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses truly aligned with the original scriptures, or have doctrines been subtly altered over time? How can members discern authentic truth from potential distortions?

Just a quick question,

Are you one of Jehovah's Witnesses, currently or formerly? This will help me answer the question, greatly. (smile)

If you are not at present, familiar with the teachings of "God's Name" People (Acts 15:14), Jehovah's Witnesses, please take a look at the following link: https://yorww.com/basics.html

Thanks.
