Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.
We must really grasp what is being said in Isaiah 6 8-10. "Say to this people: 'Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.' Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed." God told Isaiah to proclaim to the people that they would NOT understand him or perceive him. It was a sad reality that the people of Israel were to face. They were destined to hear God's words, see God's work, and yet still miss him in the midst of it.
However, this prophecy did not end with the people Isaiah spoke to directly; instead, it carried forward to the Jews of Jesus' and the Apostles' days. Contrary to popular belief, Jesus spoke in parables so that people would NOT understand. (People still say things like, "Preachers need to preach in parables just like Jesus did so that the crowds can better understand." They miss entirely the words of Jesus that he spoke in parables so that the people would NOT repent and turn to him. The reason for such an intent becomes clear in Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, "If they had understood, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory."
