SIGHT & SOUND?

 SIGHT and SOUND?

… the Holy Spirit speak through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers, saying, "Go to this people and say: Hearing you shall hear and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see and not perceive. For the heart of this people was fattened, and they have heard with their ears dully; and they closed their eyes; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." [Acts chapter 28, also note Mt.13:13-14; Lk.8:10; Jn.12:39-40]    

  There is sight and sound physical and spiritual. God’s Word speaks of the distinction between the two, the message of God being seen and heard, yet not seen and heard.

  Jesus explained “That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.” (Mk.4:12)

  Romans 1:18-23 clearly shows that though seeing, men may choose to be blind. This is obvious to viewers with clear Biblical vision.

  Speaking about spiritual deafness, Jesus explained “… this people's heart has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." (Matthew chapter 13)

  Tragically, this day there may be those reading the above and yet not seeing or hearing the truth. To them I say “He who has ears to hear, let him hear” (Mt.11:15; 13:9)
