Proverbs 1:7 :”the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge”. This episode by Les Mitchell, is a wake up call to recognize the spirit of lawlessness rampant on the planet today and even in the church. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 is a description of what is happening. When God told Pharaoh to “let my people go” the purpose was to worship Him in the wilderness - the promised land was secondary. However in Exodus we see that the people, once released from slavery in Egypt, didn’t want to meet God face to face. They sent Moses instead and missed the opportunity to encounter God in all His glory and holiness - to discover who He truly is. Instead they created a golden calf which they worshiped because sin causes us to fear God in the wrong way. Likewise, the primary reason Jesus came was to save us from our sins and to restore us to sonship. Every other blessing is a bonus, not a right!
When we fear man more than God, we are more concerned about people’s opinions of us, rather than what God thinks of our behaviour.
