Alright. This is where we're going to pause for now. I'm mentally exhausted.

When we turn the page, we'll pick up where I left off, if I remember correctly, at Mount Sinai, where God gives the Ten Commandments and begins shaping Israel, not just as a free people, but as a holy nation under his feet.

There is still so much more to unpack from Israel's struggle with idolatry to the building of the temple and the rise of monotheism through exile and restoration.

This walk is far from over. But if there is one thing to carry with you from chapter two, I think, is from early human beliefs and competing gods through figures like Akhenaten, through the tension with Baal and others to the covenant with Abraham and the Exodus, we start to see a clear pattern. At least I do.

God patiently guiding his people out of confusion and mixture and into the truth.

So I hope you'll join us for chapter three as we continue walking through this history together.
