...in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrine, the commandments of man......

Loved the history joe!

Snowfire:
John Smith was the only Protestant to move into a large Catholic neighborhood. On the first Friday of Lent John was outside grilling a big juicy steak on his grill.
Meanwhile ,all his neighbors were eating cold tuna fish for supper. This went on each Friday of lent. On the last Friday of Lent the neighborhood men got together and decided something had to be done about John. He was tempting them to eat meat each Friday of Lent, and they couldn't take it anymore. They decided to try, and convert John to Catholicism.
They went over and talked to him . John decided to join all his neighbors and became a Catholic which made them very happy. They took him to church and the priest sprinkled some water over him and said "You were born a Baptist, you were raised a Baptist and now you are a Catholic.
The men were relieved , now their biggest Lenten temptation was resolved.
The next year's Lenten season rolled around. The first Friday of Lent came, and just at supper time when the neighborhood was setting down to their cold tuna fish dinner, the smell of steak cooking on a grill came wafting into their homes. The neighborhood men could not believe their noses.. WHAT WAS GOING ON ?
They called each other up and decided to meet over in John's yard to see if he had forgotten it was the first Friday of Lent. The group arrived just in time to see John standing over the grill with a small pitcher of water. He was sprinkling some water over his steak on the grill saying "You were born a cow, you were raised a cow, and now you are a fish.

Deborah-Leigh:
God designed and inspired the OT truth that they should, would, and continue to be so afflicted until God restores and delivers them.

2Cor 3:14 In fact, their minds were grown hard and calloused, for until THIS PRESENT DAY, when the Old Testament is being read, that same veil still lies on their hearts, not being lifted to reveal that in Christ it is made void and done away with.

Not knowing, seeing or believing in the above is, I would say, an affliction of deep blindness only the Lord can heal indeed!

Peace to you
