I agree. Even though we may have our spiritual lives saved, we will still need to look for some sort of punishment for those that do believe……….
So, saved from what? Would you elaborate?
 
What are you? A Sadducee?
That's also mature and intellectual.
 
Isa 26:19 Your dead will live, my corpses will rise; awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the morning dew, and the earth will bring the dead to life.
This has nothing to do with physical resurrection. This is a description of Jewish exile, when according to Isaiah 53:8.9 we are cut off from the Land of the Living, which is the Land of Israel, and a grave is assigned to us among the Gentiles. Then, according to Ezekiel 37:12, the Lord opens our graves and has us rise from them, and brings us back to the Land of Israel, which is the Land of the living. That's the resurrection we believe.
 
If we are going to believe and use other parts of this good brothers book, then we are to accept the whole of it. Verse 19 speaks directly of a resurrection.
No, it does not. Sorry, but you are being too literal. I thought you had said you understand analogy and metaphor. Verse 19 is explained in Ezekiel 37:12, as I showed above.
As well as other places through out the Tanach, which speak of the dead being made to live.
Just quote to me what you say is throughout the Tanach, speaking about dead being made to live again. You never know what I can say until you hear my saying it.
 
Isa 41:2 Who has raised up one from the east? Whom called him to his foot in righteousness? He hands over nations to him, and makes him rule over kings. He gives them like the dust to his sword, like the driven stubble to his bow.
And of course, you see Jesus here. I wonder why!
 
Then when you read the verses you offered 41:8-9 we have………
Isa 41:8 "But you, Yisra'el, my servant, Yacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend,
Isa 41:9 You whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called from its corners, and said to you, 'You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you away;'
And of course, you can't see Israel, the People here. I wonder why Isaiah does.
 
Now back in verse 2 we see “One” spoken of and this “One” is raised from the “East”. Here in 8 and 9 we see that the people are “from the ends of the earth” and not just “One from the east”. We further read……….
One from the East is the servant Israel. Where did Abraham come from, not from the East? And where did Israel come from, not from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?
  
What kind of a Moshiach Yisrael be? As you claim the title to be when using that all powerful christian stronghold of a word “messiah” as if it were the be all to end all to save the world. We see that even Yah Himself had to encourage them to be brave and not be afraid for He had His right hand, the One that was from the east that had been sitting at His right hand which He raised up, to defeat those that would do them harm.
I would need more than a post to explain to you what kind of Moshiach Yisrael is. But if you read my thread, "The Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53," you will have a pretty good idea.
  
Yesha'yah 53 is a prophecy of Yahshua Ha Moshiach Ben Dawid.
And what do you have to substantiate your claim, writings of Gentiles 50+ years after Yeshua had been gone? Not much convincing. To claim that Isaiah 53 points to Jesus, you have only assumptions as if Jesus was the only Jew to be crucified by the Romans.
