Verse 19, Blind and deaf is used in an abstract way not a literal blindness or deafness. The message is talking about servants of the Lord following orders completely, without reservation, trusting the Lord regardless of any outside influence that they may see or hear. This is further substantiated in verse 24 where being obedient to the law is shown to be important. The law Jesus gave is love one another. If people refuse to love one another the result is war and the Lord will respond. Verse 23 the time to come is the end of days war. The meaning of verse 24 is if a law or order is given then boundaries of behavior are set because they are defined. Also the law defines behavior outside of the boundary of the law. If one follows the law that is good and if one does not follow the law that is evil. So what behavior is good and what is evil are both defined or created, at the same time. If everyone loved one another, evil and war would not exist.
