       It is amazing to me how people who are experiencing such pain, and seeing all the supernatural things right before their eyes, do not turn to God and repent, if even just for the sake that they might hope he will take the pain away. Recall, Jesus said in John 14:11, “Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves” (ESV). But here, not even seeing God’s supernatural works turn the men’s hearts. Apparently, their sin has made them so hard of heart that they will not believe. Really, we shouldn’t be surprised at this. Jesus told us this was going to happen in Matthew 24 when he was talking about the end times. He said, “And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved” (12, 13, ESV). By this time in human history, men’s hearts are very hardened (more than even today), like they were during the days of Noah, for that too was a very sinful time.
