Isaiah
32:3
3 And the eyes [`ayin] of them that see
[ra'ah] shall not be dim
[sha`ah], and the ears ['ozen] of them that hear [shama`] shall hearken [qashab]. KJV-Interlinear
3 Then the eyes of those who see will not be
closed, and the ears of those who hear will give attention. ESV
When wise
leadership takes control of government and leads the people, then the
realization and understanding of truth will be more prevalent, if not more universal,
throughout society. This situation has not yet occurred in history. It will
only occur when Jesus Christ returns at the second advent, and establishes His
kingdom here on earth.
This verse
establishes the possibility of understanding.
The statement here
is, them that see, and them that hear.
People have been
able to see and hear truth, throughout all of human history. The unfortunate
reality is that most people are not interested in seeing or hearing truth. Most
people are only interested in things that are convenient, or seemingly
advantageous, to their current way of life, or their current way of thinking.
And changing from old habits, seems to be just too much trouble.
When Christ
returns at the second advent, and establishes His kingdom, the only people that
will be alive at that time, will be those who have believed in Him, and have
survived the tribulation, because Christ rescued them.
God’s kingdom here
on earth, will begin with believers only.
And certainly
after the dramatic events of the second advent, then people will be more than
willing to see and hear Him, as well as be with Him, at that time.
We know from our
study of Revelation, that during His 1000 year reign, people will begin to
drift away from Christ and from truth. And toward the end of the millennium,
there will be a huge population of people that will not have believed in Christ
as their Savior, despite His presence here on earth.
But the point of
this verse, is that seeing and understanding, are always available. It does not
take dramatic events to cause a person to change their attitude or their
beliefs, but unfortunately, dramatic events are often necessary, in order to
get people to see their flaws and failures.
Anyone who wants
to know truth, and wants to understand truth, is able to accomplish that.
The desire to get
on the right track, resides with each person.
Failure to be able
to see and understand, is directly related to a person’s lack of desire in
wanting to see and understand truth. You
have to want it first.
These
studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org,
and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so
already, and therefore not be lost forever.
And
if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you
can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come
to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and
purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a
phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever.
To
ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily study means you will be incomplete,
unfulfilled and you will lose out, big time.
The
Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human
history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to
complete yourself beyond your imagination.
But
you have to decide to make that commitment.
No one else can study for you.
You have to do that yourself.
