The Israelites went from this:<br /><br />31 And the people believed; and when they heard that the Lord had visited the people of Israel and that he had seen their affliction, they bowed their heads and worshiped.<br /><br />To this:<br />9 Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery.<br /><br /><br />Impatient. Unbelieving. Unable to see how God would triumph in the seemingly impossible situation.<br /><br />In the New Testament too...<br /><br />And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!” 31 So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. <br /><br />The same people who hung on every word of Jesus now mocked Him. Impatient. Unbelieving. Unable to see how God would triumph in the seemingly impossible situation.<br /><br />We haven't changed much have we?Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02770898936799604859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094248114996261058.post-39381229468853765402015-02-18T22:00:15.148-06:002015-02-18T22:00:15.148-06:00The same theme jumped out to me as well.
