In the traditional Christian interpretation, Isaiah is writting about Jesus Christ.

According to Rashi and other Jewish commentators, Isaiah is writing about the remnant of Israel. The singular pronoun, according to this interpretation, is used as a collective plural. The English word, "seed", is used in this way. The form of the word is singular but can mean one or many. The interpretations do not have to be mutually exclusive.
