Willful Blindness vs. Forced Sight
Commentators unanimously highlight the contrast between present willful blindness and future forced sight. People may choose to ignore God's obvious work in the world now—His 'lifted up hand'—but a day of judgment is coming when they will be forced to see His power. As Charles Spurgeon notes, this forced recognition will lead either to salvation for those who repent or to 'everlasting shame and confusion' for those who do not.
