95 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 3 - Part 3 - Book 8 - The Ten Commandments and the Tabernacle

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 3 * PART 3 * BOOK 8 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND THE TABERNACLE Exodus 20-36 Let's get right back into The Book for this lesson. Please turn with me to Exodus 32. Last week we saw that God began giving the instructions to Moses, while he was on the mountain the first time. So with Moses gone they asked for a god. Exodus 32:1 "And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, `Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot (know) not what is become of him.'" You would have thought that a mature individual like Aaron would say "No, wait a minute, people, Moses is coming back down." But what does Aaron say? Exodus 32:2-5 "And Aaron said unto them, `Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.' Can you imagine a man like Aaron saying something like that. Now verse 6: Exodus 32:6 The Israelites of all people. Exodus 32:15,16 Evidently, Joshua accompanied Moses up part way on the mountain, as I feel Moses was alone with God at the top and gave the instructions to build the Tabernacle, and gave him the law. Exodus 32:17-20 "And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, `There is a noise of war in the camp.' Exodus 32:22-24 "And Aaron said, `Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people (you bet he knew them. God! As if God didn't know that he was the one who fashioned it. Among them was an old pastor who got me started teaching. Here is this man Aaron; he should have been the man that stood in the gap, while Moses was on the mountain. Exodus 32:25 "And when Moses saw that the people were (what?) naked;...." Naked. Everything that God said thou shalt not do. What does the old devil say? God has instructed us how to clothe our body, but what does Satan do? Well anyway, they were dancing naked around this golden calf. Exodus 32:26a "Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, `Who is on the LORD'S side?....'" Which of you are going to mean business with our God? Now, God moves in and He brings on a plague, because of their gross immorality. I know what God expects of the human race. God has not changed one bit from Genesis 1 till today. What God hated back here, He hates today. Now verse 2: Exodus 32:28 "And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men." Here Paul is making reference to this very event around the golden calf, and God's anger against the children of Israel, and His punishment of them: I Corinthians 10:8 Moses now intercedes on behalf of the people and in verse 30 we read: Exodus 32:30-35 "And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, `Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement (or covering) for your sin.' And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, `Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have make them gods of gold. Moses could not imagine, how God would forgive such gross sin. Exodus 35:4-8 "And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, `This is the thing which the LORD commanded,' saying, `Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: Whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass, And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood, and oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense," Exodus 35:9-15 Exodus 35:16-20 A lot of people get the idea that God is a little bit partial toward men, especially in the Old Testament. You go through that Chapter and he names woman after woman who were part and parcel of his ministry. The Bible is not anti-feminist. Now among most of your pagan people, yes, a woman is still a second class citizen. Now verse 30. Exodus 35:30,31 "And Moses said unto the children of Israel, `See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge (In spiritual things? Do you think that God is not concerned with your daily life. Some people think, we can't bother God with material things. God is interested in everything in our lives, physical, material, as well as spiritual. Exodus 35:32 "And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass," Now, verse 35 and this just puts the frosting on the cake. Exodus 35:35 #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
