So....why is He depicted as blonde, with wavy long hair, and blue eyes? He was hebrew. Hebrews were dark.

I doubt Jesus looked like the guy on the left. That's not what the people of the Levant looked like.
Not only to most renderings of Jesus make him appear Caucasian, all renderings make him appear attractive.
Only Mormons portray him as blonde with blue eyes.So....why is He depicted as blonde, with wavy long hair, and blue eyes? He was hebrew. Hebrews were dark.

Conversely, Isaiah 53 says otherwise
Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was 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.
Now, I find it hard to believe he was in this bad of shape, but I digress

Isaiah 53 is not about Jesus.. Its about Israel. Read it in context not as a stand alone verse.

4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression[a] and judgment he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was punished.[b]
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the Lord makes[c] his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,
he will see the light of life[d] and be satisfied[e];
by his knowledge[f] my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,[g]
and he will divide the spoils with the strong,[h]
because he poured out his life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.
So you expect us to believe that Israel was punished for the transgression of the people? The people are the nation and the Bible tells us that God judged and dispersed them because of their iniquity. The Hebrew people murdered and persecuted the prophets who then tried to warn them, so they were far from righteous. Isaiah 53 paints a picture of a just and righteous person whom God chose to "crush" and judge. Jesus is the only example of this in the Bible, all others God "crushes" are sinful people, not righteous ones.
Sorry, your assertion makes no sense.

Read the whole of Isaiah.. This is about Israel. Israel is always referred to as the servant of God.. Christians can't make their case by fiddling around with scripture. Same with Hosea.. It just makes a mess of things when you change the subject in the middle of a whole book.
Isaiah 41:8 8"But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham my friend,
You seem to have a serious hangup over skin color

Isaiah 41:8 8"But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham my friend,
24 “Seventy ‘sevens’[a] are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish[b] transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.[c]
25 “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One,[d] the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing.[e] The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’[f] In the middle of the ‘seven’[g] he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple[h] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.
Is Daniel talking about Israel here being put to death like he was in Isaiah or is it the Messiah?
