Some people say it is the refusal to see salvation is through The Son of God.
I have seen a kind of blindness in believers. It is a declaration of faith in opposites. For instance it is teaching that something will cause an adverse judgement but the believer is doing exactly what they are saying should not be done.
There are four scriptures that apply.
John 12:40
New International Version (©1984)
"He has blinded their eyes and deadened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn--and I would heal them."
2 Corinthians 4:4
New International Version (©1984)
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
1 John 2:11
New International Version (©1984)
But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him.
Ezekiel 12:2 "Son of man, you are living among a rebellious people. They have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious people."
I say it means blindness in believing people, not in unbelieving people.
