What this army could see did not avail for them. What they did not see brought on their captivity. This means to us exactly what it meant back there in the earthly ministry of Jesus. He tried to teach them truth, but they would not listen. The attitude of this age is exactly what it was then.
People have it all.
They know it all. They cannot be taught . If a point of truth from the Word comes up and a man tries to explain his view to one with an opposing view, the listener is not at all listening that he might learn, but is listening only to refute what is being said. Now I want to ask a fair question. Not even one percent, as far as I know, have learned that all Scripture is given by God and all is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, etc.
