***Already happened***. The promised messenger of the new covenant arrived in Zion and
***was received*** by those in Jacob who turned from transgression.
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. Malachi 3:1
Isa 59:20
And the Redeemer
shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

Once again, what you propound is an abject failure to rightly divide the truth on your part.
Paul INTENTIONALLY links this
Isaiah 53:20 passage to the Romans 11 prophecy about the FUTURE redemption of the NATION Israel.
Here in Romans 11, Paul is speaking to those of Israel
who did NOT "receive Him"!
Furthermore, Paul declares that Israel is contextually in a state of BLINDNESS......not salvation!
In terms of redemption and salvation, absolutely NOTHING "already happened".
And Paul is stating that this National BLINDNESS shall remain only UNTIL the "fullness of the Gentiles be come in".
***************************************************************************
1.) New Testament interpretation (very important)
Paul the Apostle explicitly quotes this in:
Epistle to the
Romans 11:26–27
“There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
For this is my covenant unto them…”
Paul is not vague here—he ties Isaiah 59 directly to:

“All Israel shall be saved”
2.) So is this future national Israel?
If you follow Paul’s usage consistently, the answer is:
✔ Yes — it points to future national Israel’s restoration
Here’s why:
(1) “Jacob” is ethnic/national language
Not symbolic of the Church in normal usage—especially in a prophetic context.
(2)
It involves repentance (THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET!)
“them that turn from transgression in Jacob”
That matches:
Book of Zechariah 12:10 → national repentance
Book of Ezekiel 36–37 → cleansing + Spirit
(3) It is covenantal and enduring
“my Spirit… shall not depart… forever”
This strongly echoes the New Covenant:
Book of Jeremiah 31:31–34
Book of Ezekiel 36:27
(4) Paul places it in the future
In Romans 11:
Israel is partially hardened now
This deliverance happens after the fullness of the Gentiles
*************************************************************
Rom 11:25
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel,
until the fulness of the ***Gentiles*** be come in.
Rom 11:26
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Rom 11:27
For this
is my covenant unto them,
when I shall take away their sins.
