A Miraculous Spiritual Awakening
Commentators agree this verse describes a spiritual, not physical, healing. The 'deaf' and 'blind' represent people who are spiritually unable to understand God's truth. The prophecy promises a future day when God will miraculously open hearts and minds, enabling people to hear His word and see His truth clearly. John Calvin calls this a glorious work that only God can perform.
