Exodus 32:7-8 (NIV)
7 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt.
8 They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, 'These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.
I used to marvel that the Israelites would so quickly bow to an idol having witnessed the glory of the Lord and received deliverance at His hand. No longer. Many denominations and many congregations today have done that very thing. The teachings of Jesus have been abandoned. Jesus has been removed from the throne in their worship. Something hideous now sits there.
Moses came back from the mountain and destroyed the idol. The people were punished for their unbelief and disobedience. Jesus will come back and do the same.
