None so blind. ( Revelations 3 v 13 )

It was a very dark hour when Judah was overthrown ,a darkness of tremendous loss, of tremendous suffering,no hope,no peace,only a case of enduring what had to be borne.But as one person has said , into every life a little light doth shine,for Jeremiah reminds the people that Gods judgement on them was complete. The next thing they are told,as C. Wright puts it,''The exile has begun,But that it would not last for ever  .(  Lam 4 v 21- 22 ),before the fall of Jerusalem  ,Jeremiah had written to the captives who had been taken to Babylon earlier,w,assuring them with words of comfort,that after 70 years, they would return home. Indeed the prophet Isaiah had foretold that the Babylonians would come and defeat Judah ,and take captives back to Babylon,and that they would return from captivity, during the reign of king Cyrus. C P the following scriptures .  Isaiah 20 v 16 - 18/  45 v 13.We need not be surprised at their apparent ignorance,after all when the long foretold Messiah came,they failed ,not only to recognise Him, but they crucified Him.These people had become utterly blind,and deaf spiritually,they come across as people totally out of contact with God and His word.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           How are we spiritually ?
