Israel had all the trappings of religion: crowds of people, the Word of God, the worship of God, offerings, all kinds of religious activity. They had all these things, but they were missing God, like a fig tree missing figs. Is it possible for crowds of people to assemble, hear his Word, do what they call worship and other religious activity, but actually miss God? Is that possible today? I think the glaring answer is YES! We can be just like these religious people busy with religious activity but miss the whole point- GOD!
