Why did the Exodus miracles fail to convince Israel about God's greatness?
The Exodus miracles failed to convince Israel because they did not sink in; despite the pillar of fire, cloud, and Red Sea deliverance, the people could not comprehend the greatness of the God they were under, and the miraculous events rolled off them like water off a duck.
Les explains that even coming out of Egypt with tremendous miracles—the pillar of fire by night, the pillar of cloud for shade by day, holding back the Egyptian army, and opening the Red Sea—it seemingly just didn't sink in what a great God they were under. All through their history, miraculous events after miraculous events just rolled off like water off a duck. Even Christ's earthly ministry, miracle after miracle for three years, still they couldn't comprehend who He was. Then, only 49 days plus after His crucifixion, with attendant miracles, they could not comprehend a lame man being healed.
