Jerry, I don't think that's what Isaiah 52:8 has in mind. In English the idiom to see "eye to eye" means to agree with someone, but in Hebrew it means to see clearly and indisputably or, as we might say, to see with their own eyes (see NASB). See Jeremiah 34:3 for demonstration: the point is not that they will agree with the King of Babylon but they will see him with their own eyes. Your main point is nonetheless valid: unity is a gift of the Lord's Spirit.Only God can, and will, cause his ministers to see eye-to-eye (Isaiah 52:8). How we need to pray for this!
"Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion."
