History

 

kinda repeating itself for those paying attention:

Matthew 21:31-32

“Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.

("you" is the religious leaders and elders of the day Christ was addressing BTW)

Jeremiah 5:21

Hear this now, O foolish people,

Without understanding,

Who have eyes and see not,

And who have ears and hear not:

There is only one reason that is:

John 8:47

Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
