- Billowing smoke at the crest of a mountain leaves things a bit hazy.
- Tablets of stone are pretty concrete.
- The heads of Amorites posted on sticks are not terribly inspiring, but actually, gross.
- Butchered animals burnt on an altar of worship end up quite smelly.
The Creator needed a more creative idea to reach His creation.
For symbolism may have its charm, but after all, it demands that the person being attracted to the concept have both an interest and some intelligence. And here’s the rub: interest and intelligence are unusual commodities in the human race. We are people who require a more straightforward, human solution.
The Creator, the Father of al, decided to send prophets–human beings themselves and therefore capable of error and misstep, but also valuable because their mortal lips could convey an eternal message.
At first it seemed to be a workable idea. The people were alerted, impressed and even impacted.
But unfortunately, all prophets eventually have to speak unpopular ideas to cantankerous hearers.
So the life expectancy of a prophet dropped suddenly, leaving the job unpursued and frequently unfilled.
Still, it was a better way than killing turtle doves and terminating enemies in the path of the Ark of the Covenant.
“I will have mercy, not sacrifice,” said one of the prophets. Yet the people insisted on killing off livestock.
“I desire to repair the breach.” But people continued to fight instead of searching out reasons for peaceful coexistence.
“Be kind to strangers.” Unfortunately, strangers had little chance for acceptance among a people who deemed themselves chosen.
No matter what the prophets said, the people found fault and eventually realized that not listening to them levied no toll.
We were back once again to Creator and creature, standing at a distance, peering at one another suspiciously.
It was time to make a decision.
