Who believes the prophets???

  Who has believed what he has heard from us?
  And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
  and like a root out of dry ground;
 he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
  and no beauty that we should desire him.
(Isaiah 53:1-2 ESV)
Who can see what God is doing?  For centuries the Lord was showing and telling through His prophets about the One to come.  He has been revealing Himself through His word. And now, as Hebrews tells us, and Isaiah tells us here, He has revealed Himself through the young plant, the Root, the Son.  Since He set aside all the showiness of His glory (Philippians 2) it is not outwardly obvious just to look at Him.  It is in His words, His actions, His authority and compassion, that we find His revelation. Who has believed?
