Hmm just by reading it Isaiah sounds like coercion, not make people free to do their own thoughts... It sounds weird, like leave a Weil of fake on the world

😁 Funny.
No one is coerced if people choose not to understand the message of the prophet. People are free even in their rebellion. What I find surprising is the idea of a philosopher and theologian that even man's "greatest wickedness" cannot escape the fact of God's revelation:
But shouldn't you then open the eyes and ears of people to make them hear the message? Isaiah says to close... Maybe I'm totally getting it wrong as it's not my field 😂
As always, the word of God serves a dual purpose: to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comforted. Isaiah's generation was so stubborn and too comfortable with their sins, and I think that's why the prophet's message will serve as a tool of judgment.
