We do not see our signs;The Israelites were given many signs from God, which represented his promises to them. When God was going to do something miraculous later, He would sometimes give them a specific sign beforehand, so they would know His promise was coming.
There is no longer any prophet,
Nor is there any among us who knows how long.
However, at this point those signs seem to have vanished. God has not provided notification of His coming intervention. He hasn't sent a prophet to speak His word or portend anything coming. Therefore, the people claim they don't have any guidance, no idea how long until they are saved from their current plight (whatever it was). It sounds like they were running out of patience, or hope.
