I would say that what they were expecting was beyond what God was willing to do.
This does bring a question to mind: Do our own thoughts, ideas, theology, etc... bind God's will? Do we expect God to show up in a certain way until, when he does show up, we miss it because he doesn't look, act, and interact in a manner that we believe he should?
Is it possible that we are repeating history in our own lives because we have built up a god that we believe God is, instead of letting God be God -- outside our perceptions, culture, and society? And before anyone starts really shouting, this INCLUDES subculture of church and denominations (or ministerial fellowships). This problem is prevelant with ALL people -- not just the blind sinners.
