But Yitzkhak’s physical blindness reveals his inability to see God’s choice of unexpected vessels, and the importance of seeking divine wisdom. The Prophets reveal how curing spiritual as well as physical vision problems would be a key role for the Messiah — and fundamental to Heaven’s redemptive plan.
