It looks like we are going through the same problems that the pre- and post exilic Israel went through when, instead of listening to the prophetic word and turning from their sin and obeying God, they interpreted the prophetic word as an esoteric way out of their circumstances, either as a coming political messiah or a return to the glory days of the Davidic kingdom. When neither happened, even though they gave up their idolatry, they escaped into their apocalyptic mysteries, rather than accept the message of the prophets as a warning to return to the true God in spite of the circumstances as the judgment is coming sooner than you think.

Yup. God does not change. Neither does man - although we try to lie to ourselvews that we are better than those who came before us. One of the many reasons that nothing will pass from the Word, not a jot or tittle until all has been fulfilled.
