Is Muhammad in the bible? Part 3

Muslims always desperately try to prove Muhammad is in the bible to validate Muhammad's prophethood since the quran claims Muhammad is prophecised in the bible. The part 3 of this series addresses whether Muhammad is mentioned in the book of Isaiah. There are 4 verses in Isaiah, one in chapter 29 and three in chapter 42, that Muslims claim is a reference to Muhammad.

Muslims claim that this verse is a reference to Muhammad as It is common knowledge that Muhammad can't read or write (Illiterate) according to Sahih Al-Bukhari 3. However, if one simply reads the verse in context, this claim can easily be backfired against them. This passage is actually talking about God's judgement on His people who are constantly rebelling against Him and are spirituslly blind. So if Isaiah 29:12 was talking Muhammad, then it means Muhammad is not a prophet but rather a rebellious man who used his illiteracy as an excuse to stubbornly ignore God's commands.

This is another verse that Muslims claim is a reference to Muhammad. Since Muhammad has alot of names/titles, and 3 of those names, they claim are found in the verse above. However, if the verse is read in context and researched upon to find out who this verse is actually referring to, then this claim falls apart badly.
