"And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of Egypt, have corrupted themselves."
God disassociates himself with his people even to the point of not having been the one who brought them out.
This verse speaks to the process of coming to the true nature of God that is hindered only by our own perception of him.
The symbolism (found in the language of God ) in the coming out of Egypt is found in everything, as the path one must take to the understanding of the motive of the one who brought you out, which process is found in each of us.
He calls every son out of Egypt.
As I was rereading this yesterday, I knew there was more to it than I had seen before ..... questions came to mind today about it ..... why would He disassociate Himself with His people? He gave them their freedom and they had no idea what to do with it, living in bondage, they had been told all their lives what to do ..... they now had no one telling them what to do anymore and they were lost ..... just like a child that cannot yet think for themselves they have no idea what to do .....
Then it dawned on me ..... I know this is going to sound like a contradiction in itself but it makes perfect sense to me .....

... a friend wrote to me the other day saying, "I'm going to work hard to do nothing."

To him a cross didn't look right ...
