Messianic prophecy: He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. Isaiah 42:2

The prophet Isaiah is decidedly the most mentioned prophet in the Gospel of Matthew. It can be said, then, that the words of the prophet Isaiah profoundly influenced the spiritual thinking of Jesus, and the doctrine of the Kingdom of God, the dominion or government of the divine perfections. And this is because in the books of Isaiah, there are many prophecies of Jesus, Isaiah was a major prophet in the Old Testament.
And there are some prophecies made by Isaiah that very accurately described the actions and personality of Jesus as the Son of Man, and so Isaiah wrote a very famous Messianic prophecy: "I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out" Isaiah 42:1-3. This prophecy is known as the Prophecy of the Servant of the Lord in the Gospel of Matthew and is mentioned before Jesus taught his famous parables, during his preaching in Galilee.
With this prophecy, Isaiah is not describing a military leader, but a spiritual leader, more like Solomon, who was a wise writer of numerous books, than David, who was a famous warrior. Isaiah was clear on this point, foretelling that Jesus would come with the power of the Holy Spirit to fulfill a mission of cosmic or divine order. Furthermore, Jesus would not come to cause scandals or political unrest, but to bring about change through his gentleness and his teaching ability. With Jesus, the wisdom of God would take new directions, convincing many but provoking the envy of others.
Isaiah, as a prophet of the kingdom of Judah, lived in difficult, uncertain, and violent times; many prophets before him suffered persecution, imprisonment, and execution. Nevertheless, Isaiah was the prophet of eschatological hope. Isaiah was faithful to the end to the dynasty founded by David, and he foretold that a descendant of this great king would change the world in a definitive way. Isaiah's prophecies about Jesus cannot be taken lightly, but must be understood as part of God's plan for a humanity that must be redeemed from sin.
