When Aaron made the golden calf, he proclaimed a feast to Jehovah. (When LORD is in all caps in your English Bible, it indicates not Adonai but Jehovah in the original Hebrew). In other words, the Israelites in their idolatry did not think of themselves as forsaking God for a pagan god. But they were worshipping Him as if He *were* a pagan god. Their preconceived notions picked up from the surrounding culture created a blind spot that made Gods revelation at Sinai go right over their heads. As a result, their worship of Jehovah was corrupted by paganism, and they were too blind to see it. It raises a question for us: How far is our worship corrupted by Neo-Paganism, Secularism, and/or Post-Modernism? Are we willing to pray seriously that God would show us the answer to that question?
