Isaiah 29:18's Mysterious 'Book'—Could It Point to the Son of Man?
Isaiah 29:18 speaks of a future day when 'the deaf hear the words of a book' and 'the eyes of the blind see out of obscurity and darkness.' This verse has always struck me as a promise of restored understanding and light.
What do you think it means by 'the words of a book' that the deaf will hear in that day? In my studies, I've connected it to deeper revelations about the 'Son of Man.'
I recently edited/published a new 4th edition (2025) of 'The Revelation of the Son of Man' by Levi Khamor, which explores these biblical themes of revelation, the Son of Man, and how Scripture opens eyes to hidden truths.
I find this book insightful for anyone studying prophecy or Isaiah. Would especially love Jewish/Israeli perspectives! Open to discussion. Amazon link: https://t.co/dbDb5OZrLY #Isaiah29 #Tanakh #SonOfMan #BibleStudy
"ישעיהו כ"ט:י"ח מדבר על יום עתידי שבו 'וְשָׁמְעוּ בַיּוֹם הַהוּא הַחֵרְשִׁים דִּבְרֵי סֵפֶר' ו'עֵינֵי עִוְרִים תִּרְאֶינָה מֵאֹפֶל וּמֵחֹשֶׁךְ'. הפסוק הזה תמיד ריתק אותי כהבטחה לשיקום ההבנה והאור.
מה לדעתכם מתכוון הפסוק ב'דִּבְרֵי סֵפֶר' שהחרשים ישמעו ביום ההוא? בחקירותיי קישרתי זאת לגילויים עמוקים יותר על 'בן האדם'.
לאחרונה ערכתי/הוצאתי לאור מהדורה חדשה (2025, מהדורה רביעית) של הספר 'The Revelation of the Son of Man' מאת לוי חמור, שחוקר נושאים מקראיים אלה של גילוי, בן האדם, ואיך הכתובים פותחים עיניים לאמיתות נסתרות.
לא בא להטיף – רק משתף משהו שמצאתי מעניין למי שלומד נבואות או ישעיהו. אשמח במיוחד לפרספקטיבות יהודיות/ישראליות!

In his 1938 work The Great Heresies, Hilaire Belloc devoted a chapter to Islam:
"Millions of modern people of the white civilization—that is, the civilization of Europe and America—have forgotten all about Islam. They have never come in contact with it. They take for granted that it is decaying, and that, anyway, it is just a foreign religion which will not concern them. It is, as a fact, the most formidable and persistent enemy which our civilization has had, and may at any moment become as large a menace in the future as it has been in the past."
Widespread contraception (the pill) turned procreative sex into recreational sex that fractured the relationship between men and women that led to promiscuity that led to no fault divorce that led to abortion that led to the destruction of the family that led to societal chaos and our current moment.
‼️🚨🆘😭😭😭 Estos verdaderos héroes de #Venezuela, están dando su vida por salvar otras vidas. Sin cascos, sin implementos, con las uñas, dando una palabra de aliento. Tanta valentía y bondad por parte de algunos, me quedo con eso.
¡Dios bendiga a Venezuela! Esto es durísimo.
🚨Breaking Now 🚨 Four years ago, the Supreme Court returned power over abortion to the states. Today, Tennessee answered with stone and bronze. A monument to the victims of abortion now stands on the capitol grounds, bearing silent and permanent witness to the 63 million lives lost since 1973. This is what cultural transformation looks like. This is what we've been working toward. The unborn are not forgotten. They are being remembered — in law, in prayer, and now, in stone. #prolife
Excerpt from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remarks, today, at the Federation of Local Authorities in Israel Conference:
“It’s true, Hezbollah is still in Lebanon, but there is something else there now. Today, there is a security zone there that prevents Hezbollah and its remnants from invading the Galilee, because that was the plan. We are destroying all of this underground infrastructure. I was there in southern Lebanon and I saw it; it’s unbelievable. It is simply different.
We still have work to do, especially on what I call the 'Manhattan Project' – we will be the first in the world to solve the explosive drone problem, which is a global issue, and we are solving it.
'But you haven't solved it 100%.' True, but we are on our way. If we had followed your suggestion to stop at Rafah, we would have gotten nada, zero, gornisht, nothing. I don't know how many languages are spoken here. Zero. That is not who we are.
And then we continued – Syria. Here, too, they told us not to enter; they said it wasn't wise, speaking with such hesitation. We entered with all our might, and we also saved our Druze brothers, whom I salute. We will protect our Druze brothers and we will never abandon them. We have protected them, and we will protect them!
And then we did what no one believed we would do. Because over the years, I have dedicated most of my adult life to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons; I saw it as an existential threat to our survival. I do not want the thousands-of-years-old existence of the Jewish people to be cut short by these Ayatollahs acquiring nuclear weapons.
We carried out operations, mostly with the Mossad, inside Iran, all kinds of operations, but they told us: 'A military operation in Iran? You are forbidden from doing that.' 'Eliminating the leadership of Iran? No, no, not that.' So I did not listen to them, and I led Operation Rising Lion. I chose this name, 'A people shall rise like a lion' – because we have a nation of lions and an army of lions, and I told them: 'Go in – we will enter with all our might.'
I also told President Trump, well, two presidents, Biden first of all, when they told me 'Do not enter Rafah.' Do you know why they said 'Do not enter Rafah'? Because the President of the United States said he would halt the weapons supply. I said I respect him very much, and he even came here at the beginning of the war, but we have no choice, we will enter – and if we must, we will fight with our fingernails. Because there are moments when you must know how to tell even the President of the United States what we stand for.
When I came to President Trump before Operation Rising Lion, I told him: 'We are going into Iran, because I am not waiting for these oppressors who declare openly that they want to destroy us, and you too, by the way, I told him, but us first. I will not let that happen. Therefore, we are taking action.' I didn't ask for permission; I simply informed him of our plan. To my joy, he also joined toward the end with a very important action.
But they said 'it’s impossible.' Don't do it. Don't get entangled, because Iran will come and destroy our cities and our citizens, and thousands, if not tens of thousands, will die. So the very same people who told us don't enter Gaza, don't enter Rafah, don't enter Lebanon, don't enter Syria, don't enter Iran, Master of the Universe, don't destroy their leadership... Today, they come and tell us, 'But you didn't finish the job.' They, who wanted zero, come and tell us, 'You didn't achieve 100%, only 80-90%.' There is still work to do, it is not over, that is true, but who will do it? If you don't have true leadership, not what they put in the talking points of various advertising agencies.
When you are tested on the ground, just as our commanders are tested on the ground, then the only thing that speaks is the result. And the result is monumental! There is still work to do in Gaza, in Lebanon, and against Iran, but I want to tell you two things: As long as I am Prime Minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons. And one more thing: As long as I am Prime Minister, we will maintain the security zone in southern Lebanon. For as long as it takes, we will maintain the security of the North, and together, we have also done a great deal for prosperity."

In a recent interview, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, former grand chancellor of the John Paul II Institute on Marriage and Family Life, confirmed the worst suspicions that many of us had.
He admitted that the changes he made at the Institute during the Pope Francis years were designed to initiate a "very profound" reform of the idea of the natural law.
Instead of absolute moral norms grounded in a keen understanding of the basic goods, he and his colleagues were proposing a moral theory rooted in historical discernment of subjective and cultural experience--not an "armchair theology" but one operating "within history and within people's lives."
This, of course, is the language of trendy postmodernism, and it is dangerous indeed.
Allow me to illustrate the principle with one example. Is slavery wrong?
Intrinsically wrong? Wrong no matter what public opinion polls say about it, no matter what the current consensus on it might be? I imagine any decent person would say yes.
But that yes is predicated upon precisely what the tradition calls the natural law and the basic goods. There are some values so fundamental that acts repugnant to them are by their very nature wicked.
If you want a highly articulate presentation of this idea, go to St. John Paul II's Veritatis Splendor.
If we say that this is just "armchair theologizing" and that morality is a function of ever-shifting cultural and experiential data, then why couldn't slavery be justified?
One of the very smartest persons that ever lived, the philosopher Aristotle, thought it was; extremely bright and morally upright persons in our country, well into the 19th century, thought it was permissible.
Who is to say whether the consensus might shift back again? Who is to say that "lived experience" might come to justify it?
What any truly coherent moral program requires is the very thing that Archbishop Paglia and his colleagues were endeavoring to eliminate, namely, absolute moral norms.
Ridding ourselves of these in the name of freedom or pastoral sensitivity actually renders moral discourse dysfunctional, just as relativizing the basic principle of logic would render any rational conversation impossible.
The Archbishop's interview, frankly, reminded me of the discussions I had at the Synod on Synodality with some of my German colleagues. Under the rubric of the development of doctrine, they were eager to relativize or radically change the principles undergirding classical morality. If this was and is truly the game, we have ventured onto perilous seas.

Israel is our democratic ally fighting Hezbollah, Iran’s terrorist proxy with American blood on its hands. President Trump is right: Iran needs to restrain its terrorist proxy, the U.S. should never restrain Israel from defending itself. And if Iran won’t act, we should back Israel to the hilt.
Zechariah prophesied a day when all nations would come against Jerusalem. Not one nation will be able to save it. That’s when God Himself steps in. The final showdown will not be political. It will be divine.
