Our Leaders Are Supposed to Take Care of the “House” (America)
Sadly, if a corrupt leadership is ruling, chances are very good that due to their corruption, they won’t like it when anyone speaks against them.

Jesus, the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53
I think when read in its entirety, it is difficult (if not impossible) to assign the identity of the servant picture in the text to the nation of Israel.
