Let's use the Torah for a second to look at how America and the rest of the world is standing. This is not a prophetic message but a analogy to explain how bad we are in this steadfast position of curruption. This is a life lesson we can look back at from the OT. Let's read Exodus 32. In this passage moses was at the top of the mountain with God, while the Hebrews were at the foot of it with Aaron. They were impatient and ignorant in their wait, so they beg of Aaron to make them a deception, an idol of a golden calf. In this picture we have both Aaron and Moses in two different senieros. Aaron is like America we were set apart as priests which we relate nowadays in modern times as to God's representatives (Christians). As we play this game of big brother like Aaron watching over the house of Israel while Moses was speaking with God, we became corrupted by the world's influence. We were standing in a right position not perfect but near God by His hand just as with Aaron. But as the people which we would refer to as the world, would influence us to take pride and sinful decisions instead of concecrating ourselves in the word. Because of worldy affairs we took the chance and risk to support them and we fell into the idolatry of our heart. It's almost symbolic. But you see when the Lord became aware of the event of exodus in verse 7, His anger burned. God wanted to wipe out the entire nation and start all over with moses. But with Moses' counsel of mercy had the Lord repent from such a thought. Isn't that true for us today as of a Christ? Moses acted like a type of Christ for the people of Israel which I am referring to as the world. So when Moses came down He was infuriated and the Lord had the people who disobeyed be slaughtered. This would be used as a symbol of the final end of judgement for those who kept their hearts against the Lord even pass the last hour. The second death. But Aaron and those who were with God through it repented, and God kept the rest and saved them from the destruction. The old testament still speaks to us today in many areas of our sinful actions, could it be true that we to are missing the details of God's word that would apply to us today?

How wise! The Torah (the first five books of scripture) gives us God principles, the patterns that are active in our world today. What makes reading them so enlightening for us is that they give what men do, then the prophets tell us how what they are doing is seen in the heavenly realm.

We are still constructing golden calves. When Moses objected to them doing that they said it was to worship God, it was their way of worshipping. We are still telling God that as long as our hearts are in the right place, as long as it is in spirit and truth, we can decide for ourselves about our worship. The Torah emphasizes the doing, so they sometimes got lost in the doing without the heart. The NT completes the OT, and emphasizes the heart, but it takes both. We need the Torah to find out the basis of the God principles.

These principles are just how our world operates today, just as sure as any force of nature works. It is how our world is constructed to operate. Learning the priniple behind the golden calves, learning the results of constructing them, learning what the golden calves symbolize is absolutely necessary to learning how to live in peace, love, and abundance in our world.

This is just as sure as how necessary it is to know Christ in our world, and all Christ means to us.
