Fast on the claim that Donald Trump has been elected the Jewish Messiah by over 160 Orthodox rabbis, comes a claim that "personhood" begins in the womb, based on their playbook, the Book of Isaiah, and specifically, Isaiah 49:1-6:
"Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations: Before I was born the Lord called me; from my mother's womb he has spoken my name. He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver. He said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will display my splendor." But I said, "I have labored in vain; I have spent my strength for nothing at all. Yet what is due me is in the Lord's hand, and my reward is with my God." And now the Lord says— he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself, for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord and my God has been my strength— he says: "It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth."
This passage they interpret as the words of the Messiah coming forth, called by God, to restore the nation of Israel and through Israel, to restore God's rule throughout the Earth.
But this could be spoken by any great general or politician skilled enough to pull it off. It's only an assumption that this is spoken by the Messiah himself. It could be literally "a servant", as it says, and not "the" servant.
And so is the assumption that "personhood begins in the womb" they are trying hard to derive from this.
Personhood --- that is, being an officer or bureaucrat by divine appointment, is not equivalent to the "personhood" conveyed by human governments seeking to impersonate living people as corporation franchises. That evil and false idea came into existence in this country on February 2nd 1871.
During the time of Isaiah, no such concepts existed.
There were men and there were men who held duties and offices. These officials, kings and generals and poobahs alike, functioned in offices defined by custom and law, but did not magically devolve into nameless, faceless corporation franchises as a consequence of their service.
Officials at the time of Isaiah remained individual men with the nature and rights of men, whether they were seen as "servants of God" or only "public servants".
This particular passage in Isaiah is referring to an individual prepared and called by God to fulfill a divine purpose "from the womb" --- but that doesn't mean they became a "person" in the modern sense of that word in the womb.
And it doesn't mean they were divinely appointed to a particular political office at birth, either. It means that they were called to be a servant of God and served in whatever capacity and according to whatever script God wrote --- which is the rest of the passage's message.
Someone who served in obscurity, and who felt they were a failure, was prepared and called to come forward, to gather the remnants of Israel, and to return Israel to glory, and while they were doing that, to sprinkle sunshine on the Goyim, too.
That part, "make you a light to the Gentiles", runs counter to the entire rest of the Zionist playbook, however, which demands the death and dismemberment and poisoning and enslavement of all the Goys, except of course, those who work on Friday nights and Saturdays and make Shabbat so much more pleasant and profitable for the Zionists.
That one part, "make you a light to the Gentiles" plays better when interpreted as the already completed mission of Yeshuah, who gathered together many Jewish sects and people from many strata of society --- even Samaritans, and whose teachings ultimately brought light and love to billions of Gentiles, too.
