I was getting no help when I posted this on a different thread so I thought I would start a new one.
I have been struggling lately with this issue:
Quote:
Rom 11:8-10 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear unto this day. And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: 10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.

Is it possible that God could give a spirit of slumber on a national level?
Is it possible that blessings given to a nation could become a snare to that nation?
IOW, if a nation makes vows to God (as our American forefathers did) and is blessed by God but later begins to trust in those blessings rather than the blessor (as Israel did) could God blind them on a national level? (except for a faithful remnant, of course)
Is the national blindness of Israel a fulfilment of specific prophecy or is it a 'general principle'?
