That's fine, you did mention blind eyes and hardened hearts.

For wotsup and those who can't see what is written.
I don't have a problem seeing it.

Belief and Unbelief Among the Jews

^{John 12: 37}Even after Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him. ³⁸This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet:
“Lord, who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”^[h]
³⁹For 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.”^[i]

There it is. Jesus is the arm of the Lord. Your arm is your arm and you are human.
Jesus is God's arm therefore Jesus is God.

This is in the book of John. John who gave you the Word in his opening.

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ²He was with God in the beginning. ³Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

There's another representation of an arm with all things were made.
If people can't see the valid representation John is giving of trinity, then perhaps it is as Iasaih says.
The majority voted on it so therefore it stands to reason it is valid.
Again, you don't have to believe it or the other verses but you can in no way invalidate trinity reasoning.
It's plain silly to think you can

The signs Jesus performed were spiritual. The spiritually blind was made to see. The person sick with the sin of leprosy was cleansed of sin. The spiritually crippled who could not walk the path of God was spiritually healed by the words of Jesus to walk in the path of God.

The spiritually blind could not see spiritual maters.

Yes, Jesus is the arm of the Lord, meaning the actions of God are active in the truth of Jesus, His words, His actions, His example, His sacrifice, because Jesus is an intermediary between God and man. This does not suggest that Jesus is part of the Godhead in any literal way.

In the beginning was the Word . . . In the beginning refers to the eternal reality beyond time and the Word is the eternal Grace and Teachings that stream down from God. For the Word to manifest in the human realm it must manifest in human form.

The Word is then God in an absolute state and in a relative, time bound state, all scripture being a relative truth because there will always be more to know.So the Word in human form includes Abraham, Moses, Noah, Jesus etc.

As for the prophecies of Isaiah you mentioned, they predominantly prophecies achievements of the returned Christ, rather than Jesus. That is why the Jews do not accept Jesus as the Messiah because Isaiah speaks of the first Christ and the returned Christ.
