The golden calf could have represented any number of Egyptian deities. The Apis bull was worshiped in Memphis as Ptah, the god of life. Hathor, the cow goddess, was worshiped in Thebes as goddess of motherhood, beauty, love, and joy. In Exodus 32 the people “rose up to play” which had clear sexual overtones and might be equated with Hathor. Aaron, their spiritual leader, gave in to their requests and to justify their worship announced a “feast to the Lord.” This mixed worship led God to disown the Hebrews as He refers to them as “your people.” But as God rejects the people who chose the calf rather than Him, Moses steps in and asks that his name be blotted from the book of life. So great was Moses’ love for his people that he offered his life for theirs. But there is only one substitutionary death acceptable to God and that is the death of His Son Jesus. Have you tried in your life to compromise the world and its practices with your worship of God? Here we see the consequences of such action. God would have a people that are faithful to Him, and Him only, though the heavens fall (Education, 57). Michael Hasel

This chapter provides an important insight into the calling of God. He says to Moses, “I have called by name Bezalel . . . and I have filled him with the Spirit of God.” You see, God does not only call people to be pastors, teachers, and evangelists. He calls all of His people to use skills and talents that He provides through the Spirit of God “to make [or do] everything that I have commanded” (vs. 6). God is looking for artists and craftsmen that will, through art and sculpture and media, communicate God’s message to the world; builders to build churches that people might learn of Him and schools that will further His work in the lives of young people; doctors, nurses and health care professionals to minister to people through healing. He is the source of the wisdom, understanding, and knowledge gained in our professions. He is also the source of the abilities to execute our work. What is God calling you to do for His kingdom, to prepare others to meet Him when He soon comes to take us home? Michael Hasel

❤️ Jump to Weekly Spirit of Prophecy Reading https://www.revivalandreformation.org/bhp/en/sop/chs/10a COMMENTARY House-to-house work is such a privilege! Now that the Covid-19 pandemic is easing, we have a window of opportunity to meet the families that live in our towns and cities. For our close neighbors, we can take some baked goods and a gospel tract or brochure, or an invitation to join a small Bible study group. Sometimes we ask if they have a special request or concern for which we can pray together. I've also taken out the youth to go two by two conducting a simple survey at homes street by street. At the end, we say, "Thank you for taking our community survey. We'd like to share the first two lessons of a Bible study guide many are enjoying. Next week we'll stop by and bring you the next two lessons, and see if you have any questions." If the people accept the lessons, we write down their address and make sure we show up the next week. Other ways to visit folks in their homes, or at least at their door, are following up on literature evangelism contacts, Vacation Bible School contacts, cooking school or evangelistic meeting contacts, and people who once attended the Seventh-day Adventist church but have ceased coming. "The harvest is ripe but the laborers are few." Let's be sure that by God's grace we are part of the solution, not part of the problem! Cindy Tutsch Associate Director (retired), Ellen G.

Prayer is the way God invites us to communicate directly with Him. The altar of incense was a symbol of the prayers of the people that ever ascend before the throne of God. The priests came to the holy place to offer incense (Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 333) which rose over the veil into the most holy place where God’s throne was located above the mercy seat. The incense represented the “prayers of the saints” (Rev 8:3-4). We may “pray without ceasing” (1 Thess 5:17) knowing that Jesus stands as our high priest before the throne of God. “Christ mingles with [our prayers] the merits of His own life of perfect obedience. Our prayers are made fragrant by this incense. Christ has pledged Himself to intercede in our behalf, and the Father always hears the Son.” (Sons and Daughters of God, p.22). Thus our prayers bring us into the very presence of God and are joined with those of Christ, our High Priest. This is good news for all today – we need no earthly intercessor, but we all have equal access to the power of the Creator of the Universe who has promised that He “will hear us” (1 Jn 5:14).

In later Israelite practice the instructions regarding the sacrificial offerings were disregarded, prompting Malachi to warn the priests of their neglect before God. At that time lame, blind and sick animals were accepted by the priests and sacrificed for the people (Mal 1:7-8). God responds by saying, “Why not offer it to your governor. Would he be pleased with you?” (Mal 1: 8). In this God reminds the priests of their responsibility before God and His people. They are to provide “true instruction” and walk with God “in peace and righteousness” for the lips of the priests are to preserve knowledge (Mal 2:6-7). The priests were to uphold the rites and instructions of the sacrificial system before the Israelites until the Lamb to which these sacrifices pointed would come. There are grave lessons for us today as pastors and leaders in our churches to ever lift up God’s instructions regarding true worship before our people. How tempting it is for us today to become lax in our responsibilities! God desires obedience in respect to His ordinances. So let us approach Him with the awe and respect described in this chapter.
