Living in fellowship, then your soul is under the control of the Holy Spirit, who makes clear all truths.

You cannot see or hear or otherwise detect the Spirit, but it is simply there.

Living out of fellowship, you are disconnected for the spiritual realm, and therefore disconnected from the reality aspects that it offers.

So, we have here, the Jewish people who have lived in a dream. The live in the beliefs of their own making, as when a person is asleep, is hungry and thirsty and eats and drinks in his sleep, but when he wakes up, he is not filled, but hungrier still, because the dream is not reality.

So the point here is, that God offers doctrine which is the food for the soul, the link to reality, the door to all that is truth and so much more.

When you reject doctrine, then you are living in a dream, under a delusion, in an environment that cannot and will not, gain you truth or reality or fulfillment of what it is that you seek.

The Jewish people are the object of this verse, but you too are an object, of a sort.

They will live through all of history, right up and until the final days, weeks and months of history. And suddenly history will culminate on them and it will not be pretty.

In order to get a stubborn person to wake up, he often times needs an extremely difficult or violent shaking.

And the Tribulation and Armageddon will be that extreme.

It is so much easier to listen and hear and learn now, while things are relatively pleasant in this world.

But often times indifference, stubbornness, procrastination, and especially arrogance stand in the way, and then the hard times are just around the corner.

Ignore doctrine and you will have nothing. Pursue doctrine and you will gain fulfillment and more.
