Deaf hear the Book

I found this very interesting in the Book of Isaiah Chapter 29 verse 11-14 and 18. Here it is the verse.
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:

12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

13 ¶ Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

18 ¶ And in that
day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

This is my understanding of what the verse said, the book is sealed and no one can read them except it's given to. To the learned man or very educated or intelligent but can't read the seal book. But to the unlearned person, that person can open up but not learned or dont know how to read that book. People will praise God by honoring him, but doesn't do what God say because their heart is far from God and follow the ways of the world. Then in time God will do wonderful work to confounded the intelligent men and made them to be humble. Then it said deaf will hear the words of that book which is sealed book and the blind will see and understand. The book will free them and give them light to understand.

Now according to this the Bible is not sealed, because it's already written and from Adam to Isaiah they have the Bible. So I wonder what book that is sealed and that someday we will hear from that book. What book is that are we seeking for? Just curious what are your thoughts on this subject.

Discrimination at Work

I wonder any of you experience discriminate at work that doesn't provide interpreter to your needs? If you do please let me know and feedback on your experience at work. Did you file DFEH (Department of Fair Employment Housing) for your complaint against your work? Have they investigate the situation at work?I would like to share my experience that my work didn't provide interpreter, because the employer assume that I'm very efficient fluent on lip reading, which I disagree wholeheartly. I'm fluent in ASL and can talk, but ASL is my first language. One on one I can do it, but as a group for mandatory company meeting that's impossible, my friend is deaf and I are frustrated that we can't get same information as other employees get. I always asked my co worker who is hearing to explained to me what the situation is about.My friend and I finally decided to file complaint against our work company and report to Union and DFEH, eventually they ignore our responses then we took to the next level by getting the lawyer to filed suit against them. Our lawyer said we have very strong case due to witnesses and violate the ADA law.

Immigration Issues

How do you feel about immigrants enter our country illegal? Do you support the idea of them coming in or do you disagree? I've always felt that those who came to America legal with legal procedures by honoring their government laws and ours as well. They helped strengthen our country of who we are now.

What about the illegal immigrants, do they have the same rights as the legal immigrants? Do they get the fair share of helping our country or not? I'm talking about every races, color, creed, and nationality not just point out one particular group, but to all over the world. Every day, every month, and every year I heard many different comments on illegal immigrants they took our taxes to support themselves. They took jobs from American citizens. They seek for lower wages, but they formed into groups to support themselves, for example, connection with families and friends outside from USA and pull them in work force by working lower wages. Should we stop them from pouring over into our country and protect our citizens for employments?

When I see immigrants waving flags on America soil by their native country, let's say Mexico flag wave on America's soil, by law in America anybody claim their native flags and pounce on America's soil would declare war or ready to fight against America and I think that's very dangerous statement messages. You can have another country flag, but it has to be second behind United States Flag on American soil. Here is the website you can see for yourself. My ancestor came to America in honorable and legal procedures, why can't others follow like that as well.
