Isaiah's spiritual perceptions not only brilliantly told him the Messiah was coming but alludes to his mastery of death. Isn't it strange and sometimes demonic that we get caught up in a skepticism that rides heavy in and through society? We tend either not to read and study Holy Scriptures in their entirety, or we are so filled with preconceptions, we are unable to allow them to speak freely to us.
We have to be teachable. That requires openness and humility. As far as the Holy Scriptures are concerned, it necessitates a symbolic -- if not literal -- kneeling before them. Such a stance does not make us guilty of bibliolatry. It does bring us into direct contact with the primary source of our knowledge about God, life, and salvation.
The awful arrogance of our time has put blinders on us and we have then refused to admit our colossal blunder by going down all sorts of appealing avenues that bypass confrontation with the totality of Holy Scriptures.
