Isaiah 53
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
He was physically wounded for our spiritual transgressions.
He was physically bruised for our spiritual iniquities.
He was physically chastised for our spiritual peace.
And with His physical stripes we are spiritually healed.
Why would the stripes be looked at as physical healing when everything else in the verse refers to the spiritual?

Nowhere Gary in the NT is Jesus physical abuse connected to the description the blood gave us.
Eph 1:7 kjva In whom we have redemption
through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
1Jn 1:7 kjva But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and
the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
The punishment we deserved was physical also. The blood removed the sin, the stripes removed the effect of the curse.
Deu 28:45 kjva
Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
Deu 28:61 kjva Also
every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until
thou be destroyed.
Sickness was the effect of punishment we deserved. Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the law that found us guilty.
Sickness was designed to destroy, there is no good in it. Every sickness not in the book was designed to kill.
Isa 53:4-5 amp 4 Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy]. [Matt. 8:17.] 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.
When you say just spiritual Gary your saying God only can work first in the natural if he wants to help us at all with anything naturally. That's crazy Gary, as everything God does for us starts and becomes true in the spirit realm first.
3Jn 1:2 amp Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I know]
your soul keeps well and prospers.
Everything starts in the spirit realm. If we are healed spiritually then according to John that turn also to physical healing. From the inside out, not the other way around.
