Exodus 19:7-13 “Third Day”

GuidetohisWord

“

“And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai (v.13)”.

God Tells Moses what He wants “And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.” God is a Spirit and His standard never changes. “Be ye Holy as I am” and St Peter quotes it in his epistle and adds the people of God are to to be holy in all manner of conversation.”But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;/⁶ Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.(1 Pe.1:15-16) What do we mean by ‘be ye Holy?’ Divine nature His long-suffering, love, mercy justice His whole name is squarely put in all that He is and shall do. So His glory is His nature…

Exodus 19:1-5 “Peculiar treasure”

GuidetohisWord

In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.

²For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.

³And Moses went up unto God, and theLordcalled unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;

⁴Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.

⁵ Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

God’s promise to Abraham was “And in thee…

Exodus Ch.18 The Servant of God

GuidetohisWord

Moses the servant of God was appointed by God.(14:31). Of him the writer to the Hebrews speaks thus:”For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God./ And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;/ But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.(He.3:4-6). Servant is as honorable as much as an exalted king like David (1 Ki 8:66). God calls him a servant. Consider the earth and the fulness thereof as the house of God in which there is no single entity who shall say that he independent and rules of God do not apply to me.” It is in this context Isaiah qualifies Israel…

Exodus 17:5-16 Jehova Nissi

GuidetohisWord

⁵ And the Lord said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.

The rod of Moses with which he did wonders before Pharaoh has become the rod of God. By the principle of Association the rod is a sign having transcended its normal usage. It is in the sense salvation when made manifest and believer puts his whole heart and mind in service it would be as though God himself does the battle for him. If God be for us who can be against us? The child of God never stands alone and his help goes all the way to throne. The seven spirits that St John saw in his vision by the Number Seven is tagged as complete. When God formed our spirits he knew from where his…

Exodus 17:1-6 “Water out of rock”

GuidetohisWord

“Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.(v.6)”

The children of Israel comes to a place where they had no water to drink and we see time and time again how they rebelled against authority.

To place these in correct perspective let us look at the significance of bread in the morning and flesh in the evening which we had let pass for the present. Thus we shall discuss what bread meat and drink would mean.

16:10-15

The bread of heaven did not simply fall down pell mell as someone up there did some spring-cleaning. No the Spirit is giving them a foretaste of the Advent of the Son. Before God formed Adam mist went…

Exodus 16:30-35 “Memorial Unto the Lord”

GuidetohisWord

“And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations(v.33). God sent manna for 40 years,’until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.’ In the Book of Psalms we find a commentary on this..”And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation(Ps.107:4-7)”.What is the right way with God but His faithfulness? There was a shorter route for the people to go but God in his Wisdom knew what was most suited for the purpose. “And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said…

Exodus 16:6-7 “Evening and Morning”

GuidetohisWord

Then Moses and Aaron called a meeting of all the people of Israel and told them, “This evening you will realize that it was the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt (16:6-TLB)”

In continuation with the topic of ‘Faithfulness’ the work of God never stops. Jesus said,”My Father worketh hitherto, and I work(John 5:17). The Jews tried to slay Jesus because he did a good deed on the Sabbath day and what Jesus said was his testimony who was in the bosom f his Father knows as a Son would know. Taste and see the Lord is good. “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him(John 1:18). The Jews never understood what was the real significance of the rest to which God entered on the seventh day. In their…

Exodus 16:5-18 “Faithfulness”

GuidetohisWord

“They gathered every man according to his eating.(v.18)”

God is El Shaddai significance of which we have already discussed. God as the Maker of heaven and the earth shall never run out of His Power wisdom of which is as eternal as the word forever settled in heavens(Ps.119:89). His faithfulness is a characteristic of his Holiness, his Name to be precise. When the Israelites murmured what does Moses say? “And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the Lord;(v.7)” His Holiness despite their disbelief works because He cannot deny himself. It is what we read in the Book of Lamentations.”It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not./ They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness(Lam.3:22-23). When God appointed Moses and Aaron as their spokesman to speak unto Pharaoh His will was backed by the glory of His name.
