Recap:
Israel is enslaved by Pharaoh for 400 years.
God demonstrates his power to Pharaoh, the Egyptians, and Israel and with a mighty hand redeems Israel.
God provides food, water, and military victory for Israel.
Israel arrives at Mount Sinai
Moses goes up and down several times and receives instruction from the Lord most high.
We see things like:
Israel affirms these commands and commits to live under the Lordship of YHWH again:
This is where Moses receives all the instructions for the tabernacle and alter and priests.
This is all to show and demonstrate the holiness of God and the tabernacle was to be built in the middle of the camp because God was to be in their midst.
ex 25.1-3
Where did they get this gold, silver, and bronze?
This is from when they “plundered” the Egyptians, not by their own hand, but by the hand of God.
This was then to be given back to God freely, as a return gift of worship and right relationship.
Only 40 days for Israel to abandon God...
We look at this story and marvel at their foolishness, yet do the same thing...
God has good things in store for those who worship him.
Idolatry is foolishness, it only leads destruction and pain
IDOLATRY:
Worshiping anything that is not the true God.
Worship: to value as supreme, to trust, to obey, to put first in importance.
Our Idols are generally not golden images.
Things like:
Money
Position
Social Status
Relationship
Hobbies
Additions (alchohol, sex, gambling)
Activities such as:
Shopping
Going to the gym
Eating out
OR EATING
Good things that are blessings can become idols if elevated above God.
Children
Safety and security
I’m going to do this today, and tomorrow I’m going to church.
All through the old testament, including Exodus, this is described has “whoring”
Your people...
God offers to Moses to destroy Israel and start over...
God does not change his mind,
God is sovereign over means and ends...
Drinking it symbolized that the people had to bear the consequences of their sin.
You made your bed, not you have to sleep in it.
Exodus 32:4 (ESV)
And he received the gold from their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool and made a golden calf...
Moses proceeds to rally the Levites to kill all the people who continued in idolatry.
Martin Luther called the human heart a factory of Idols...
So what are we to do?
Our posture before God must be one of complete humility.
Our posture before God must be one of perpetual repentance.
This is what distinguishes those who follow Jesus from those who do not.
Moses is conversing with God and says:
Romans 3.26 explains that God is both “just” and “justifier”
