The Glory of the Lord (8 of 8)
Series: Exodus

Exodus 32:1-40:38
Introduction
One of my favorite filmmakers is Christopher Nolan. You most likely are familiar with his work on The Dark Knight trilogy, but I would highly encourage all his films to you. The Prestige is definitely one of my favorites; films like Dunkirk and Memento are fascinating watches; I still have no idea what Interstellar is about. But perhaps the best to me is Nolan's 2010 film, Inception. The concept of dreams has always fascinated me and so Nolan's take them produced a movie I can watch time and time again. Teresa, not so much. I remember walking out of the theater and saying, 'I loved it!' and her responding, 'I hated it!' Fair enough; it's quite a mind-bender.
Of course, part of her hatred could have had to do with the fact that the movie ends of a cliffhanger, or without any sort of resolution. I mean it's hard to explain if you've not seen the movie, but suffice it to say the movie ends in a way that hints that perhaps this whole thing has been just a dream itself. Just at the moment you're going to find out whether or not this has all been real, cue credits. Incredibly frustrating, in many ways. You've just spent two-and-a-half hours journeying through this mind-bending adventure and just like, over. I mean you can debate afterwards what you think the answer was, but there is no way of knowing for sure.
And, in many ways, I would argue, the book of Exodus ends like this. We've been on this incredible journey that began with God remembering His covenant to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, hearing the suffering of His people in slavery, coming and rescuing them. Through this rescue revealing more and more of who He is to both them and to their captors. Performing amazing signs and wonders to redeem them, to bring them out of bondage, to bring them into safety, and, above all, into a relationship with Himself. Most recently, we've watched God give His people the L ...
