Resurrection Life of Jesus Church

A HUGE SHIFT
After the Godhead saw and participated in the solemn ritual of the First Covenant and hosted a banquet for Moses, Aaron, his sons, and the 70 elders, they paused the virtual time run and started to discuss what had transpired thus far. Exodus 24:1-11

Giving mankind free will had turned out disastrous as 1,676 years after the creation of Adam and Eve, the human race became corrupted – physically and morally – so that the Godhead was forced to perform a reset and exterminate everyone on earth with the exception of Noah’s family of eight. Some 600 million humans were drowned in the global flood along with animals, birds, and even plants. Genesis 7:21-24

The Godhead waited some 300 years before selecting Abraham to be the father of the bloodline through which the Messiah would come to the earth. Genesis 12:1-3

They waited an additional 638 years before Moses was activated and returned to Egypt to lead the Hebrews out of captivity on the road to the Promised Land. Exodus 3:1-10

With a great display of power on Mount Sinai and a banquet for the leadership, the First Covenant was made just three months after the Godhead moved the Hebrews out of Egypt. Exodus 24:9-11

The Godhead wondered if they had displayed enough power to convince the Hebrews that Jesus was supreme and that no other gods presented by Lucifer could even hope to match Jesus. The Hebrews had seen a multiplicity of power displays:

• They saw ten plagues come upon the Egyptians.

• They saw the cloud and the pillar of fire during the exodus.

• They saw the sea miraculously parted, allowing them to walk across on dry land.

• They saw the walls of water crush Pharaoh and his army.

• They received Manna on a daily basis.

• They saw water coming out of a massive rock.

Could Lucifer sway the people? What could Lucifer possibly offer the Hebrews that was a better deal than already provided by Jesus?

After this discussion, the Godhead resumed the virtual time run and Jesus met with Moses to give him the laws for the new Hebrew nation.

LUCIFER WAS READY TO STRIKE
As Moses had been up on the mountain for a week, Lucifer sent in a large number of evil spirits that began to whisper doubt in the minds of the people:

1. Why did Moses go up the mountain? Is he abandoning you?

2. Moses is not coming back! He fooled you to leave Egypt and now he has left you stranded in the wilderness!

3. You are going to die in this god forsaken place!

4. You need to make yourself a new god who will be loyal to you!

5. Do not be fooled by the miracles you have seen. They took place to deceive you into following Moses. John 8:44

The people began to question Aaron about Moses’ whereabouts. The only thing that Aaron could tell them was that his brother was up on the mountain talking to God. The 70 elders told the people the same thing.

After 35 days, Lucifer’s minions had driven the people into a frenzy and they angrily demanded that Aaron make them a god that could lead them out of the wilderness.

Aaron did not have the faith to tell the people, “No, I will not do that!” More than likely he too was also unsure whether Moses had in fact abandoned them.
Aaron forgot all the miracles and was consumed with the thought of preserving his life. He was a coward and a people pleaser. Exodus 32:1-3

Aaron knew all too well that the golden calf had no power. It was a hoax to appease the people and he became a showman when he told the people to make themselves ready to worship a graven image. verses 4-6

To make matters worse, Aaron also told the people to remove their clothes when they danced before the golden calf. They defiled themselves with sexual immorality just like the heathens in Egypt and other nations. verse 25

THE GODHEAD BECAME FURIOUS
As Jesus carefully laid out the laws of the new nation, He saw what the people were doing and became furious. The Son of God was sick and tired of the Hebrews seeing so many miracles, rejecting God, and putting their faith in a freshly molded golden calf.

Jesus was ready to kill them and start over with Moses. verses 7-10

Moses interceded for the people and asked for mercy. verses 11-13

Jesus was moved by the compassionate speech of Moses and decided to extend grace to the wicked and depraved Hebrews. verse 14

MOSES TAKES ACTION
Moses became furious when he saw the people dancing, worshiping and engaging in sexual activities. verses 15-20

Moses could not believe that his brother – the high priest of God – had become so stupid to get involved with idolatry! To make matters worse, Aaron stated that he took ear rings given to him by the people, thrown them into the fire, and somehow produced a golden calf. verses 21-24

Aaron would never recover from his cowardness. It is possible that Lucifer previously got a hook into him when he and Miriam teamed up to attack Moses. Numbers 12:1-11

The curse on Aaron also transferred to his two sons, who had the privilege of meeting Jesus and being part of the great banquet on the mountain. They rebelliously decided to initiate their own program and Jesus killed them. Leviticus 10:1-7

Aaron never made it into the Promised Land. He was stripped of his priestly garments and died in the wilderness. Numbers 20:23-29

CONSEQUENCES OF SIN
Jesus instructed Moses to execute the leaders of the rebellion who had been used by Lucifer to entice the people and 3,000 men were subsequently executed. Exodus 32:26-29

Moses returned up the mountain to seek mercy for the people. verses 30-34

Nevertheless, Jesus punished the people with a plague. verse 35

It is important to remember that miracles do not produce faith. Faith comes by hearing of the Word of God and believing it. Romans 10:17
