The Absence of Moses
Tuesday, September 16, 2025
When Moses dwelt on the mountaintop of Sinai, the people began to lose faith in the days of his absence. They began to fall into apostasy and build the golden calf. There's a revelation about Western civilization and the last days in this story. For almost two thousand years, Western civilization was viewed as "Christian." But Messiah, like Moses, went up to be with God, leaving His people below. Just as with the physical absence of Moses, the Hebrews descended into apostasy, so with the physical absence of Jesus, Western civilization is descending into its own apostasy. So we shouldn't be completely shocked to see the apostasy around us in the media, the culture, or even in the church world. All the more, it's crucial that you live like one of the faithful in the days of the absence of Moses. All the more, don't go along with the majority. All the more, abstain from the ways of the world. And all the more, keep your eyes above. For Messiah, like Moses, will return and will reward those who stayed faithful in the days of His absence.
