Just as he explained, it's not a surprising scenario. Because understanding of the Word of God is not about intellectual service. It's that gift that is granted by God to those who approach Him with humility and fear. The prophecy in Isaiah shows a very clear picture.
Which learned and unlearned can face each mutation.
It is said that the unlearned cannot understand the Book properly because the Book is sealed. The unlearned cannot understand because, they lack that capacity, that spiritual intelligence to read it. These views are very important about human ability alone, which is not enough.
