ISAIAH 53:3-4NKJV
3) He is despised and rejected by Mankind, A Man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
4) Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.

PRAYING THE NAMES OF GOD:
Week #8: YAHWEH POPHE
Key Scripture: Exodus 15:26
Understanding the Name:
The verb from which Rophe is derived occurs sixty-seven times in the Old Testament. Though it often refers to physical healing, it usually has a larger meaning as well, involving the entire person. Rather than merely healing the body, Yahweh Rophe (yah-WEH ro-FEH) heals the mind and soul as well. THis Hebrew verb is also used in other ways—for example, God “heals” water, land, and nations, and he “repairs” an altar. Significantly, God also heals sin and apostasy. The Hebrew Scriptures, in fact, link sickness and sin by presenting sin as the cause of illness just as it is the cause of death. In the New Testament, the corresponding Greek word is iaomai, which can refer to deliverance from death, demons, sickness, and sin. Jesus, the great healer, clearly indicated that sickness is not necessarily caused by sin on the part of the person who is ill. Rather, it can result from living in a sinful, fallen world.
