As we continue on in the golden calf narrative, a dramatic shift takes place. Just as a lightbulb goes off in a cartoon to show when someone finally “gets it,” we see the lightbulb go off for Israel and Moses as they finally get who God called them to be / what He set them aside to do. Exodus 33 will show us today that we were made to be in God’s presence; therefore, we work toward restoration in God’s covenant.
