Israel Rebels Against God

37 “This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, a‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. bHim you shall hear.’  
38 a“This is he who was in the1 congregation in the wilderness with bthe Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, cthe one who received the living doracles to give to us,  
39 whom our fathers awould not obey, but rejected. And in their hearts they turned back to Egypt,  
40 asaying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods to go before us; as for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’  
41 aAnd they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifices to the idol, and brejoiced in the works of their own hands.

Acts 7:39-40

One thing that struck me when reading these verses was, yet again, Israel resisting God. This time Israel allowed the fear of the unknown to overpower their fear of God. Up to this point, it seems like God almost had to force Israel to have faith in Him because they just would not get it.

Acts 7:38-39

Now congregation here is translated in the Greek as ecclesia, assembly, or church. You probably find that in your margin. And there are many more that refer to the children of Israel as the assembly of God.
