Isaiah 53 tells the future of the man to come, is there any expert on this.?

answer: the Christian back engineering Jesus into the verses doesn't work when you compare the facts - Isaiah 52 - 54 is about Israel and NOT someone that failed to fulfill a single actual prophecy of the Jewish Messiah.

The well-worn claim frequently advanced by Christian apologists which argues that the noted Jewish commentator Rashi (1040 CE - 1105) was the first to identify the suffering servant of Isaiah 53 with the nation of Israel is inaccurate and misleading. In fact, Origen, a prominent and influential church father, conceded in the year 248 CE -- many centuries before Rashi was born -- that the consensus among the Jews in his time was that Isaiah 53 “bore reference to the whole [Jewish] people, regarded as one individual, and as being in a state of dispersion and suffering, in order that many proselytes might be gained, on account of the dispersion of the Jews among numerous heathen nations.”

The broad consensus among Jewish, and even some Christian commentators, that the “servant” in Isaiah 52-53 refers to the nation of Israel is understandable. Isaiah 53, which is the fourth of four renowned Servant Songs, is umbilically connected to its preceding chapters. The “servant” in each of the three previous Servant Songs is plainly and repeatedly identified as the nation of Israel.

According to the most ancient rabbinic commentaries, the identification of Israel as God’s servant is evident throughout the four Servant Songs. As such, rabbinic sources from the Talmudic period identify the servant of Isaiah 53 in the plain sense as the Jewish people, consistent with the previous three Servant Songs

Interestingly, the traditional Church did not completely satisfy the Christian mind with their stock interpretation of Isaiah 53. There is, therefore, a consensus among many modern, liberal Christian commentators which is in accord with this prevailing rabbinic exegesis on this most debated chapter. For example, the commentary of the 11th century Rashi and the 20th century Christian Oxford New English Bible are strikingly similar. Both clearly identify the “suffering servant” in Isaiah 53 as the nation of Israel, who suffered as a humiliated individual at the hands of the gentile nations.
 
I'm not "a person who knows everything about Isaiah 53" so I will refer you instead to those who did. They explained the fulfilment of this prophecy in the following Bible passages -

1 Corinithians 1:27-30
John 12:28
Romans 3:10-18 & 10:16
Galatians 1:4
Acts 8:32-35 where the application was said to be in the person of Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:21-25 where, again, application was made in the person of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 25:57-61
Philippians 2:9-11
 
Read Isaiah 52 sometime.

You'll find out that Isaiah 53 isn't talking about a single person, it's using a literary technique where Israel as a whole is spoken of in the singular. This technique is used repeatedly throughout the whole of the Jewish scriptures.

In the original texts, Isaiah 52 and 53 were not separate passages so in order to understand them you must read them as a whole.
 
It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12:

"And the book is delivered to him that is not learned saying, ‘Read this, I pray thee’; and he saith, ‘I am not learned’.

"When Archangel Gabriel commanded Muhammad (pbuh) by saying ‘Iqra’, he replied "I am not learned".

The book is the Quran

God Almighty speaks to Moses in Book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 18:

"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."
