It is needless to linger on the scene of the rebellion. Filled with joyful boldness, he turns the very fact of Israels stiff-neckedness into a plea for the presence and favour of God. The knowledge of Israel in the millennium will be genuine, for they shall be all taught of God. Many words are here heaped up, to acquaint us with, and convince us of, God's goodness, and to show how much his goodness is both his glory and his delight, yet without any tautology. Connected with the subjoined revelation of His goodness, this teaches. ". Then we have the holy anointing oil, which also had to do with fitting the priests for drawing near to God.

It's tragic but there are so much pressures, so many pressures being placed upon the home today. But, secondly, the law is a test morally and individually. Help us purchase electrical generators for churches. We may be ignorant, and unable to expose them; but we may rest perfectly sure that God is never wrong and man ever untrustworthy. neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto morning. Secondly, when the blood of the victims was shed, it was sprinkled on the book as well as on the people (verses 7, 8). But what immediately follows must necessarily be referred to God, when He passed by, to cry out and to dignify Himself with His true titles. _I will write upon these tables. Deuteronomy 10:4_. And the Lord passed by before him and proclaimed.. 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. That will by no means clear the guilty. This inspires us with the confidence that right is the order of the universe. Is that the way in which Christ was most glorified? This When the time was come, He took a basin of water and a towel, and washed His disciples' feet. pillar of cloud which had hitherto gone before Israel, and had th 1 The Tables are renued.

Bush gives a very careful note on this clause, which he says is of exceedingly difficult interpretation, and declares himself satisfied that the sense which C. condemns is the true one, viz., who will not wholly, entirely, altogether clear, i.e., who, although merciful and gracious in his dispositions, strongly inclined to forgive, and actually forgiving in countless cases and abundant measure, is yet not unmindful of the claims of justice. Had He not done so, we should not have had duly raised the solemn question of man's competence to take the ground of his own fidelity before God. Assuredly Moses in the tabernacle outside had not less love for the people, nor more loyalty to God, than within the borders of Sinai when the ten commandments were uttered. Jehovah however stands to His own ways, and says to Moses, "Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. Exodus 34:1 And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face. This is what is going on every day now in Christendom. p. 190. And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Abisamach, of the tribe of Dan. There are all kinds of pressures that have been placed upon the home, and love has been made out to be something that it really isn't. 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. And none shall appear before me empty ( Exodus 34:18-20 ). Moses loved Israel with a love stronger than death; yet he who thus loved them showed unsparingly his horror of the leprosy that had broken out among them.

Doubtless to a superficial glance it appears somewhat unaccountable, in the midst of describing the various parts of the sanctuary, to interrupt the course of it by dragging into the very midst of it the consecration of Aaron and his sons. THE COVENANT OF THE LAW RENEWED When the veil was rent (namely, by Christ dying as a man), man could go into the presence of God, at least the believer. He is the intrinsic power by which the truth is received into the heart, but Christ is the object. _ 1. This is all the more striking too, because even after the redemption of the people from Egypt there are grievous faults, unbelief, complaints, and murmurs; nevertheless, not a blow, not a single answer on God's part save in tender mercy towards a poor and failing people. But the written word of God is the sole instrumental means and the revelation of it all. All the people then saw the thunderings and the lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking, and stood afar off, asking that not God but Moses should speak with them. _HILDA BRIGHT AND KITTY PRIDE_ This is the way to lose all but a minimum of truth. The New Tables of the Law for the People prone to a Hierarchy. Coming from within that light inaccessible, the only-begotten Son from the bosom of the Father declared what was thereviz., love.

Gracious, because unless Gods goodness was tree, spontaneous, and unconstrained, man could never enjoy it, as he has not the wherewith to purchase or deserve or draw it forth (2 Corinthians 8:9). THE PROCLAMATION OF THE DIVINE NAME. (6.) "And Moses alone shall come near Jehovah, but they shall not come nigh, neither shall the people go up with him." This is pursued to the end of the chapter, and in a very interesting way. Thus Israel never was under absolute law. Hence we find, for instance, the righteousness of God in Romans. THE PROCLAMATION OF THE DIVINE NAME. made to him. If the Spirit of God here puts "sanctified" before "justified," our plain duty is to learn what is meant, not to wrest His word because of Popish misuse of it a misuse due largely to the common ignorance of the primary force of sanctification. REPRESENTATIVE (EXODUS 34:5). This is unfortunate, since his works contain priceless gems of information that are found nowhere except in the ancient writings of the Jews. Exodus 33:15) that God would dwell in the midst of Israel and lead His people into the Promised Land (Exodus 34:9). Exodus 29:5-6). Now your first born son, you had to redeem from God.

In Exodus 31:1-18 we have all this closed with two facts the Spirit of God empowering man to make a tabernacle according to the pattern, and the Sabbath-day connected with the order of the tabernacle.

Exodus 1 New International Version The Israelites Oppressed 1 These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family: 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah; 3 Issachar, Zebulun and Benjamin; 4 Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher. That's how high God prizes you. (380) A.V., Will by no means clear; S. M. and C., Not making (the guilty) innocent; or, in C.s own comment, He will not with cleansing cleanse; but C. presently acknowledges that it might be taken to mean, He will not utterly cut off, inasmuch as the verb is sometimes used for to blot out, to destroy, to exterminate; to which class of meanings more than one lexicographer has assigned its use in this text. "He who sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one." Exodus 34:5 When He says they were washed, He is referring to the water of the word used by the Spirit of God to deal with man. Those who reason from Israel to us, without intending it, ignore the relationship of the Christian, and set aside the bearing of redemption on our walk: so serious is that error which to many seems a pious thought, and I am sure taken up by them with the desire of honouring God and His will. The name of the God of the Jews, who is also the God of the Christians, is The Lord God, merciful and gracious., Most glorious art Thou! "Justified" is not when the prodigal son returns to his father, but when the best robe is put upon him; then he is, according to1 Corinthians 6:1-20; 1 Corinthians 6:1-20, not washed and sanctified alone but "justified."

We are adopted sons; but then we are more than that. And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance ( Exodus 34:8-9 ). "And Jehovah descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah. Thus 2 Corinthians 5:1-21 corresponds with the ark rather than the brazen altar. (1.) Fixed views of God are reserved for the future state; the best we have in this world are transient. Of these the highest is the ark. It consisted of a declaration by God of the truth Grace covers through the expiation of Christ, as it flows in virtue of God's work and in maintaining God's order. The last of these types is the holy perfume. Christ is essentially apart from sin and sinners; we by grace are set apart. It can press duty to God and man on pain of death, but it has no object to reveal.

You can enter into a totally new, beautiful life in Christ, and only He can erase the psychic scars that so damaged some of you from your childhood and the things that you experienced in childhood. As Law says, this heart is mercy. No doubt it was connected with the earth, and what was in itself anything but a condition suitable to the mind of God. His mercy is grace, free grace; this teaches us to be not only pitiful, but courteous, 1 Peter 3:8. 2 Corinthians 3:7-18). In the last If we consider with any care Romans 3:1-31, it is the righteousness of God presented to man as a sinful being in this world. WebExodus 34:5-7New International Version. His descending bespeaks his condescension; he humbles himself to take cognizance of those that humble themselves to walk with him. [It was a part of the practice for the land to increase fertility they thought.] This I maintain to be peculiar to Christianity in all its fulness. The former in its scriptural usage is not merely, I apprehend, that we are born of God, but goes beyond new birth. ", At once we find him reproaching Aaron, the most responsible man there, who makes a sorry excuse, not without sin. We have a nature which answers morally to God whom we imitate as well as obey in light and love, in holy and righteous ways, in mercy, truthfulness, and humility. Mercy entailed upon thousands of generations, even those upon whom the ends of the world have come; nay, the line of it is drawn parallel with that of eternity itself. They, with Aaron to help them, aimed a blow at the throne of God by making a golden calf. This sacred glimpse of God's loving mercy lies behind the N.T.
