They are quoted in Nehemiah 9:17; Psalms 86:15; 103:8; 145:8; Joel 2:15; Jonah 4:2; and also Numbers 14:18. No doubt all was advancing as regards the world; but that which was brought to us now was before the world, and altogether above the world in its own nature. THE SECOND GIVING OF THE LAW The Lord descended By some sensible token of his presence, and God's promises are intended, not to supersede, but to direct and encourage, prayer. The attributes of God mentioned in this passage are usually cited as follows: (6) forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin (a summary of all wickedness). "Now it is sad that the sins of the parents are visited upon the children. The Exodus is the central event of the Old WebExodus 34:5-7. Exodus 33:15) that God would dwell in the midst of Israel and lead His people into the Promised Land (Exodus 34:9). manifestation of his glory. This is a branch of God's goodness which the wickedness of sinners gives occasion for; that of Israel had done so: they had tried his patience, and experienced it. He ordered that there should be the Urim and the Thummim connected with the high priest's breastplate; that is the means of divine guidance for the people. We see the degraded society around us today that is in such desperate need of the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ, to deliver us out of the cesspool and the pits, and to raise us up.Oh, how I thank God for the godly home in which I was raised. To the sinner. "And Moses alone shall come near Jehovah, but they shall not come nigh, neither shall the people go up with him." 2 Corinthians 3:7-18). Key Verses (Ex 6:6; Ex 19:56). If his master have given him a wife, and she have borne him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself. It may be looked at in its general and historical bearing, more abstractly as a moral test. revelation that "God is love." What do people mean by restricting themselves to a sense of sanctification which necessarily involves in it so portentous a conclusion? As Christ is the true and perfect image of God, so is He the expression of all that is good and holy in man. CHAPTER XXXIV.THE VISION OF GOD.Exodus 34:1-35It was when God had most graciously assured Moses Moses sees them so stiff-necked that, for his part, he has neither patience nor power enough to deal with them. "[8] These, however, are not nearly so well defined as the six just listed. When Moses reached the top, it descended once more from the sky, and stood with him there. Scholars of all shades of belief have extolled and praised the revelation here concerning the nature, or attributes, of God Himself. This shows the essential difference between law and grace, which last means God giving in Christ all that man really needs for His own glory. And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Secondly, it cannot give life; and this is another necessity of man. We have what answers to it. The Son of the Father, He brings us into the knowledge of the true God as the Son knew Him in heaven, as the Son still of course knew Him on earth. You can't go forty days and forty nights without food or water." Then the high priest alone was anointed; as we know Christ could be and was sealed of God the Father without blood, the Spirit thus attesting both the absolute purity of His person and the truth of His Sonship as man. He may justly do it, for all souls are his, and there is a malignity in sin that taints the blood. Although a revelation of the Divine Being was necessary, yet one so full and gracious was surely the result of the beneficent condescension of God. It may be added here, as some have found an apparent inconsistency in comparing the passage with 1 Samuel 3:3, that the Hebrew means not "always" in the absolute sense, but continually or constantly. In his own heart, in his purposes and decrees, in his counsels and covenant, in his Son, with whom he keeps it for ever, and for all in him, ( Psalms 89:28 ) and they are In one of the cases you will see many of the little gods that were representing Baal. As no sacrifice was absent here, so we enjoy all the value of Christ and His work. 6 And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, "The Lord, the Lord, the prophets returned to these words again and again. What can be more lovely, more according to Christ, than this? Because it has rabies, it's gonna die. This looks more at evil; "sanctified" to the good which attracted the heart now. And be ready in the descended Exodus 19:18 Exodus 33:9 Numbers 11:17 Numbers 11:25 1 Kings "Thou shalt make thee no molten images.". (2.) And Jehovah passed by before him, and proclaimed, Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth; keeping lovingkindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and the children's children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped. And so it always is No doubt there was large and rich blessing and of the most unexpected kind when God sent down the Holy Spirit here below, and His church was first seen. God in his grace would renew the covenant, and to this end he called Moses back up the mountain. preacher, and God himself in his covenant engagements is the "In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out He wanted to prove and manifest the heart of His servant. unto the first: and I will write upon the tables the words that were And I will inscribe upon the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.

This is the new division brought in and what might seem at first sight a notable irregularity, as has been observed before, is simply an effect of the perfect arrangement of God's mind. How greatly blessed then is the Christian, and what the manner and measure of the worship and the walk which become those to whom grace has given such a knowledge of God! All the previous He was a sinner, and nothing else. And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? No covenant was to be made with them, no peace treaty. STOOD WITH HIM THE Jehovah refuses to accompany Israel to the land of promise. God does not stop here. But it is a strange plea he urges: For it is a stiff-necked people. Moses had not asked for a renewal of the tables. He is crucified with Christ and nevertheless he lives, yet not himself but Christ in him. Clearer _I will write upon these tables. The text does not record what Moses saw of Gods self-revelation (Exodus 33:18), but it does tell us what he heard. When the people first swore their faithfulness to the covenant, they promised to keep all its requirements (see 24:3-8), but in practice they failed badly. He considers that distinct meanings to be attached to the materials, colours, etc., can have no solid foundation, and are " here out of place"! Not an inference from the phenomena of nature. The Divine justice is Inflexible. Exodus 34:5. When the veil was rent (namely, by Christ dying as a man), man could go into the presence of God, at least the believer. It is the application of the full power of the work of the Lord Jesus. But Moses had never had a full and wonderful view of the Mercy and Truth therein; therefore he here obtains a glimpse into the Divine treasury, with its boundless, inexhaustible stores of mercymercy ready to meet and satisfy the demands of justice.(2.) Their relationship with the parents was just so off the wall that their minds just block out years of their childhood and they can't even tell you about areas of their childhood because the psychic wounds are so great that they just-they've had to build a wall and they just blocked it out. WebThat's the way Joel understood Exodus 34:57. pillar of cloud which had hitherto gone before Israel, and had th 1 The Tables are renued. People who seem to think that the God of the New Testament is all love and forgiveness, and the abrogating of the capital punishment and all of this, had better read the book of Revelation, and they'll find out that He is also a God of judgment, and a God of wrath that shall come and be visited. For the soul the great change is a fact; it remains for the body when the Lord comes. The goats' hair would seem to speak of Christ in His prophetic separateness; the rams' skins dyed red point to His absolute consecration to God; as the power which kept out all evil would appear to be meant by the badgers' or tachach skins, which covered the tent above. His relationship was with them as they then were, redeemed from Egypt by His power and brought to Himself indeed, but only after an outward sort, neither born of God, nor justified. What were they doing at the high places? Intimacy with what is unseen and heavenly is quite as much the portion of a Christian and even more characteristically so than the knowledge of what passes around us now. It's just plain sick. God himself is the There the names were all found together on his heart. But when Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out. He prized you so highly that He sent His Son to die for your sins so that He could have you for His own. So Moses hewed out the two tables of stone like the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone. went in before Jehovah] viz. behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, Perizzite, Hivite, and Jebusite. CONTENTS: Second tables of the law. This is another thing, and only a consequence when the due moment arrives. Thus 2 Corinthians 5:1-21 corresponds with the ark rather than the brazen altar. The reason is manifest. But if there be two separate objects in these types first, God displaying Himself to man; and, secondly, man in consequence drawing near to God the way of all is clear. Next (versesExodus 26:15-30; Exodus 26:15-30) follows the account of the acacia boards with their tenons and bolts, the sockets of silver and the rings of gold. Hearken, says Law, to the melody of this sweet note. One inscription was in the shoulder-pieces. Before we can behold the vision of Eternal Love we must be willing to Well, this is God's name for ever, and this is his memorial unto all generations. When the time was come, He took a basin of water and a towel, and washed His disciples' feet. That as His power supports His goodness man need not despond.2. I cannot understand it, don't ask me to explain it.Here is the place where I, as a devout Jew, though I am not a Jew, but as a devout Jew who's just comes to that place where he bows his head and says nothing, when I think of how God has placed such a high value on my life. Then trust that what He is now doing is for your good.iii. Connected with the subjoined revelation of His goodness, this teaches. And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen. It can press duty to God and man on pain of death, but it has no object to reveal. This section coheres Without life it is impossible for one to produce that which is according to God; and without a worthy object, nay without a divine object presented, there can be nothing to draw out divine affections. Yet Moses was able to, only by the sustaining hand and power of God. And Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh to send the children of Israel out of his land. a. It was a perfectly righteous thing therefore that God should propose terms of law. The whole of the Old Testament pants and throbs with this Divine yearning, and it also shows us the finger of God writing in the heart of man the great preparation for the Gospel. This is here called "sanctification of the Spirit." It bespeaks promised goodness, goodness and truth put together, goodness engaged by promise, and his faithfulness pledged for the security of it. THE PROCLAMATION OF THE DIVINE NAME Thus he who rejected every overture for his own advancement at the expense of the people now arms the Levites against their brethren. Afterwards He proclaims the greatness of His mercy and truth, and on these two supports the confidence of the pious is based, whilst they embrace the mercy offered to them, and securely repose on the faithfulness and certainty of the promises. ], Moses response to Gods gracious revelation was submission and worship (Exodus 34:8). STOOD WITH HIM THE Jehovah refuses to accompany Israel to the land of promise. He who cannot appreciate the blessedness of such a place, with the great high priest bearing up thus the names of God's people before God, must be very insensible to the highest favours. forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, yet by no means clearing the guilty, but visiting the iniquity of the parents. CONTENTS: Second tables of the law. The knowledge of Israel in the millennium will be genuine, for they shall be all taught of God. Christianity teaches its value instead of neutralising it. Ver. It is in vain to argue that the fruit of the teaching of Peter or of James had the same power with it as the fruit of Paul not very long after, or of John latest of all. They had denied God, and attributed their deliverance merely to Moses: so Jehovah takes up these very words, and says, "Depart and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it." Therefore, they were to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread and maintain the practice of redeeming their firstborn (18-20; see 12:15-36; 13:1-16). ", At once we find him reproaching Aaron, the most responsible man there, who makes a sorry excuse, not without sin. Six days shalt thou work, but the seventh day shall be a day of rest: even in the harvest time and in the earing time thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, [that is] the first of the wheat harvest ( Exodus 34:21-22 ). The tendency of some to insist on the whole in an instant is a reaction from the popular unbelief, which, if it allow peace at all, allows it as a matter of slow, laborious and uncertain attainment. air above the mount, but came down to the top of it when God spake The man who met God was unaware of his glory till others told him of it; by contrast, the people who had easily fallen into sin were afraid when they met one who appeared to them as a shining messenger from God (29-35; cf. We need "the washing of regeneration" and generally the washing of water by the word. The first and foundation of all the rest is this: God would disclose Himself in some of them to man, as far as this was possible then; secondly, founded on that and growing out of it, man would be taught to draw near to God.
