One thing to know about the Bible and Isaiah in particular is that God is the only one who can show the meaning. Just as Jesus spoke in parables and only explained them to His closest disciples. And do you know what scripture Jesus quoted to explain why He did this? He quoted from Isaiah chapter 6! (see Matthew 13:13-15)I am told that Isaiah is one of the most respected books of the Torah, or the Old Testament of the Bible as Christians call it. Many people come up with lots of conclusions from the Bible, some of them quite questionable to me.

There are many interpretations of the word of God. And though some scripture is plain, there are those who do their best to explain it away. It is best to love justice and mercy, and to walk humbly beside him.
Yes there are many interpretations from many people; but that's why God wants us to talk to Him personally. In the new Covenant; God Himself promises to be our teacher. (see Jeremiah 31:34)There are many interpretations of the word of God. And though some scripture is plain, there are those who do their best to explain it away.

When God shows you something then you know it's true and don't need a second opinion. When you read Jewish books they give the opinions of various Rabbis and they may even contradict each other and I think that you're supposed to pick the interpretation that you like best.
But if God is your Rabbi; then you don't need to guess anymore.
