"Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation?" - The Subject is God

The Pacific Coast around Tokyo

The Subject is God

God might have been the first thing the mankind thought about when the species was established millions of years ago and the last thing the mankind will think about when the species is exterminated, say, thousands years later.

Early Christianity thought that none could see God while followers and Disciples of Christ Jesus actually saw Him.

Early Christians believed that the words of the Gospel of John 1:18: "No man has seen God at any time"...(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God#Christianity) 

However, Muslims look more modern or primitive in their attitudes to God.

Muslims believe that God (Allah) is beyond all comprehension and equal, and does not resemble any of his creations in any way. Thus, Muslims are not iconodules, are not expected to visualize God, and instead of having pictures of Allah in their mosques, typically have religious calligraphy written on the wall. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God#Christianity).

We must not misunderstand and think that we, human beings, are the masters and central players in this world and in our lives while God is a supporting player.

We have to correctly and piously believe that God is the master and central player while we, human beings, are subordinates to God even in life of each of us.

So, we have to admit, standig in awe, that what is important is happiness of God but not of ours in this world.

So, it is useless for us to seek our happiness in this world, since it does not conform to ultimate truth God set.

Indeed, Christ Jesus did not say to seek your own happiness with all of your might and wisdom but instructed us to love God with all of your might and wisdom.

The subject is God but not men.

Luk 7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
Luk 7:31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
Luk 7:32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
