Does Isaiah 6:8 prophesy that the Jews will not believe in Jesus ~ Cross reference of John 12:39 to Isaiah 6:8
Yet again we see a cross reference to Isaiah 6:8-10 to prove that the Jews were not supposed to understand who Jesus was. I already have a post on this. Click here to read why Isaiah 6 has nothing to do with Jesus.
What also intrigues me is that John says that Isaiah saw Jesus's glory when the passage is about a vision that Isaiah see's G-d's glory.
Even by the definition of "trinity", the "persons" are different so John combining the persons does not make sense.

This post is not intended to offend anyone's faith but for those people who are Seeking the truth of THE ONE TRUE G-D of the universe to who we owe all our love, gratitude & devotion.
My encouragement to you is that you read the whole chapter of Tanakh that the Greek text quotes so you get the context and understand what G-d actually said.
G-d Bless and Seek THE Truth.
John 12:39 For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere: 40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn—and I would heal them.” 41 Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about him.
Isaiah 6:9 And He said, "Go and say to this people, 'Indeed you hear, but you do not understand; indeed you see, but you do not know.' 10 This people's heart is becoming fat, and his ears are becoming heavy, and his eyes are becoming sealed, lest he see with his eyes, and hear with his ears, and his heart understand, and he repent and be healed." 11 And I said, "Until when, O Lord?" And He said, "Until cities be desolate without inhabitant and houses without people, and the ground lies waste and desolate. 12 And the Lord removes the people far away, and the deserted places be many in the midst of the land.
