Isaiah 6:9 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 6:9

And he said, go, and tell this people
What is and will be their case and condition, as follows: hear ye indeed;
the words of the prophets sent unto them, yea, Christ himself incarnate preaching among them; the great Prophet Moses said should be raised up unto them: but understand not;
neither that he is the Messiah, nor the doctrines delivered by him; which were spoken to them in parables; see ( Matthew 13:13-15 ) : and see ye indeed:
the miracles wrought by him, as raising the dead, cleansing the lepers, restoring sight to the blind, causing the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak: but perceive not;
that he is the Messiah, though all the characteristics pointed at in prophecy are upon him, and such miracles are done by him.
