[QUOTE="lazyslacker013, post: 2161823, member: 102903"] it's just cherry picking. after reading the passage itself, those specific lines could be taken out of context to imply that the prophecy and seers have failed to see somebody, however when read as a whole, ie chapter 28 as well as the beginning of and rest of Isaiah 29 you see that it was a specific event in the past during a siege of Jerusalem where the people were being told not to fret since the lord would provide. It's just another sad example of zealots and fools trying to dice words in such a manner as to appear in the right, like when the pope gave a speech that mentioned muslim violence in one line and then began talking about peace and cooperation or some such. They ignored the plea for nonviolence and tolerance, chose to be insulted and began attacking people all the while quoting the one offending line out of context because in context it was just a segue into hopes for a modern peace. Back to Isaiah, In this case there is no mention of mohammad or islam or any such thing to come but because of some commentary on prophets not seeing and seers being blind they try to hide mohammad in it. They see what they want to see, not what is there. [/QUOTE]
