Isaiah cried out that Jerusalem would rule the world, and so far he has been proven wrong.
Perfect analogy indeed. God's faithful (and we got a few here) repeatedly ignore the voice of the prophets He has sent and/or inspired to tell them difficult truths they don't want to face. And in ignoring the prophetic voice, they turn away from God and continue to disappoint Him and prevent his Kingdom from being realized.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
