Was reading Exodus this morning. The Israelites got impatient when Moses was on the mountain talking to God for longer than they wanted, so, forgetting all the miracles God performed for them, they made an idol and worshipped it. Lord, let me be patient and wait for your perfect timing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Moses was up there 40 days. Kind of like Noah's flood was 40 days and 40 nights.
I heard that sometimes when the Bible says "40 days" it's not literal, but a sort of stand-in for "a long period of time."
I'm good on a lot of Bible stuff, but not so much this one. Might have been 40 days. 80 days. What if Moses was up Sinai for half a year? A whole year?
It's Exodus 32... it says he "delayed to come down", so I'm not sure how many days. But the point is, it wasn't very long, maybe 40 days, and they just fast forwarded to making an idol and worshipping it. Moses actually had 3000 of the men killed after he came back, because of the great sin. It's actually a pretty sad story, because God had done so many miracles on their behalf and they forgot so fast. I feel like we're in the same boat today.
What was remarkable was G-d's plan was to wipe out all the Israelites completely and continue Abraham's covenant through Moses. Moses argued with him, said "No, I'd rather you erase me entirely."
Me too! That's why it really struck me this morning. Someone this morning posted the speech of the President's where he tells us exactly what the plan is. It's so encouraging. I like the "red sea parting moment".

They were less than thrilled standing in front of the Red Sea before it opened too

Perfect comparison.
Don’t be Jonah.
Do your best version of you, plead The Light & The Word, and you keep coming correct.
That’s it.
People whining like bitches need to shut up and get out of the way so those of us working can keep on.
We have enough attacks without these faggots adding to it with Vocal Astroglide.
True.

Yes!
He was up there longer than the Israelis were willing to wait before bowing down to a statue.
Technically, they were Israelites.
Israelis are the people who unfortunately are forging ahead with worshipping the vaccines and limiting the rights of those who haven't.
(And I love Israel. This really pisses me off)
Perhaps the pattern is repeating. The real God is taking longer than they'd like, so they're creating another false god to appeal to.
