If you were invited to a meeting with God, what would you expect? A lot depends on who we think God is and what we think about ourselves. Do we think God mean or kind? Do we think ourselves worthless dirt or deserving, accomplished people? 

Israel still knew little about themselves and little about God before this meeting. That was about to change. They come out of the meeting with their world forever changed - with a new job, a new benefits package, and a new boss.
