Here it seems in substance the same thing as in 1 Peter 1:2. Some (383) thus explain it, That God pardons sins, because no one is innocent in His sight; as if it were said, that all are destitute of the glory of righteousness, and thence their only refuge is in the mercy of God. After that, he besought a month; then a year. The church comes under that now. How blessed for us! and the childrens children, to the third and the fourth generation.. What is He doing now? It was necessary, therefore, that the people should know something definite about the Being to whom they were thus intimately related and whom they professed to serve.

WebExodus 34:7 says that God [visits] the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation. This worries me because Now this mingling of grace with the law is the kind of system which Christians have accepted as Christianity. Some seem on the very verge of denying it altogether, in their one-sided zeal for the grace of God; others who stand stoutly and so far well for the responsibility of man misuse this truth so as apparently to swamp God's grace. If it is contended that it was, how is it that only Jews and Christians have arrived at this knowledge of the Divine name?

He would now obey, because he has the new nature through receiving the name of the Lord Jesus, and would enter into the grace of God that sprinkles the guilty with the blood of Jesus. 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. God would guard His people from an outrage in comeliness, were it even about a dumb or dead animal; as Satan triumphs in all that is abnormal and unnatural in the superstitions which usurp the place of the truth, and are bound up with idolatry.

Even so, in Exodus 34:6, we have the lengthened explanation of the Divine glory; while in 1 John 4 there is the same and substancethe essence of allin the three words, God is Love., (2.) Merciful, first because mans misery makes him first an object of pity (Judges 10:16; Isaiah 63:19). Therefore whatever the work introduced meanwhile whether of grace, as the effectual working of God, or whether of law as proving the inefficiency of man He always holds out His rest, to which He would also direct the eyes of all who love Him. And the Holy Ghost completes this wonderful circle of divine intimacy. ". 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.

He underwent death to the law by the body of Christ that he should belong to another Him that was raised from the dead in order that we should bear fruit to God. It is a question of mortifying our members which are on earth, on the ground of our being dead, and of walking by the Spirit, even as we live by Him, and of those not in anywise fulfilling flesh's lust. Or, he will not clear the impenitently guilty, that go on still in their trespasses: he will not clear the guilty without some satisfaction to his justice, and necessary vindications of the honour of his government.

Our only business is to learn what He is, what He says, and, more than that, to confide in Him; and when we do not know what He means, always to take the ground of faith against all adversaries. Nevertheless, the opposite meaning would not be inappropriate here, With cutting off He will not cut off; for this is sometimes the sense of the verb , nakah; and it would thus be read conneetedly, that God pardons iniquities because He does not wish entirely to cut off the human race; for who shall escape if God should choose to call to judgment the sins even of believers?

Exodus /. For the soul the great change is a fact; it remains for the body when the Lord comes. Advantage must not be taken of the weak or subject; violence cannot go unpunished, any more than dishonour where we owe reverence; responsibility for what is allowed, were it but a mischievous brute; restitution must be made, and this double, fourfold, or even fivefold, according to the wrong; neither a witch nor an offender unnaturally could live; neither stranger nor widow nor orphan must be vexed or afflicted; neither poor must be burdened, nor judges reviled; but God is to be honoured with the first of the fruits, and of the sons, as well as of the cattle.

There was no such effect when it was merely the ten commandments or the ordinances connected with the people and the land; but after the communications of heavenly shadows and the mercy of God which intermixed itself with the law, Moses' face shines, and the people of Israel could not bear it. Thus, it is plain, nothing can be more complete. lest I consume thee in the way." Children become the innocent victims because their parents aren't able to soften their hearts before God and each other enough to make the marriage work. By the physical law of heredity. (3.) The former in its scriptural usage is not merely, I apprehend, that we are born of God, but goes beyond new birth. In Israel's case it was not so. Now the Lord Jesus will not be dealing then as Son, though then as evermore the Son of God. In the greater part of the ten commandments, in short, it was not "Thou shalt," but "Thou shalt not." God, the cloud removed from the door of the Tent of Meeting, Private and Safe Without it the guilty people never could have been spared, but must have perished root and branch, as it was in consequence of this change that a new generation of the people of Israel entered into the land at all. The conditions are the same as before. 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. As the foolishness of God, says the apostle, is wiser than man, so (may we not say?) 10 God maketh a couenant with them, repeating certaine dueties of the "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." CHAPTER 34 We need "the washing of regeneration" and generally the washing of water by the word. A man hitherto has been altogether indifferent to the word of God. 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. Deuteronomy 10:4_. "Take this stiffnecked people for Your inheritance." "But ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." 2.

And afterward all the children of Israel came near: and he gave them in commandment all that the Lord had spoken with him in mount Sinai. You shall speak all that I command you. "Sanctified" in this sense is clearly before justification; and so the apostle puts it. The God expounds eleven attributes: YHWH, El, the Merciful One, the Gracious One, the Longsuffering One, the Mighty One, the Kind and Loving One, the True One, the One who Preserves Kindness, the Forgiving One, and the Chastising One. Moses appearance was so changed through his meeting with God, that he covered his face with a cloth when speaking to the people. And so on this occasion to the meek and wistful Moses preaching the Gospel, Jehovah expanded that one word of love into the name: The Lord God, merciful and gracious, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin., The sun has lost his rage; his downward orbShoots nothing more but animating warmthAnd vital lustre; that, with various ray,Lights up the clouds, those beauteous robes of heaven., (1.)

Hence we see its character and the reason why it appears here. Even in glory we shall know Him thus. Thus there are plainly two distinct senses of sanctification: one absolute, in which a man is severed once for all from the world to God; the other relative, as being practical and hence differing in measure in the after career of each Christian. He was a sinner, and nothing else. Coming from within that light inaccessible, the only-begotten Son from the bosom of the Father declared what was thereviz., love. And it seems well to remark it, because it is of considerable practical and also doctrinal importance, contrasting as it does the place of the Christian with that of the Jew. The grace of God applies the blood of Christ in a totally different way; and this is what is referred to in1 Peter 1:2; 1 Peter 1:2. Yet what perhaps, well it's not even any worse, but fathers that abuse their own sons. He descended _in the cloud_ Probably that The blood threatened death on every one who transgressed.

WebSo the LORD said to Moses: See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet. There's a difference between seeing and observing, and God isn't saying, "see the things I command you, but observe", that is see and live in harmony with it. This is greatly confirmed by what follows. There isn't a God of the Old Testament, and a different God of the New. If it weren't for the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the world would be in a much greater mess than it is today, because people are doing such absolutely foolish things in destroying their own children. (Exodus 34:10) Moses had prayed Him as Adonai to "go among us; for it is a stiff-necked people; and pardon our sin, and take us for thine inheritance." This denotes, [1.] (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. For instance, in the earlier half of Exodus, where we have God's dealings in grace, the Sabbath-day is brought in, marked out by the bread God provided for His people, the manna the figure of Christ come down from heaven to be the food of the hungry on earth: then followed the Sabbath at once. 8. 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. He for giveth iniquity, transgression, and sin. This is the brightest jewel of His crownovertopping the heavens, outliving all times, outshining all perfections. "As is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly." Sinai." It is for us, but it is only in Him before God. There lay the insuperable difficulty once; but now grace perfectly meets it, and meets it in a way which evinces alike the goodness and the wisdom of God. That is so absolutely sick I can't even think of it. Yet we know on the best authority that Moses loved the people as not another soul in the camp did. So God is ordering their extermination in order to keep His own people protected from their madness.If we were to hire you here as a lunchtime monitor for the school, and as you were out there watching these beautiful little children that we have here at our academy, and you were watching them playing out there in the yard, and skipping and chasing around and all, and there was to come upon the yard a dog foaming at the mouth, running around and snapping at the children, would you be justified in going over and grabbing that dog and killing it? Faith, hope, and charity abounded in the mediator; and if the people were to be blessed, from God he drew on every spring of the blessing for His own glory. He is the intrinsic power by which the truth is received into the heart, but Christ is the object. Now we are here told. It is the riches of His riches. They take a mingled system; they mix up law and grace together. Aaron's sons were to have coats, priests' girdles, and bonnets for glory and for beauty. Can this God be unkind or unjust? Law is essentially incapable of helping, because being only a claim on God's part, and a definition of His demands, it can only condemn him whose condition makes due obedience impossible. From the time that man fell, He presented grace as the only hope for a sinner. Among the vessels of the sanctuary the altar of incense stands first (versesExodus 30:1-10; Exodus 30:1-10). Connected with the subjoined revelation of His goodness, this teaches. Lest, however, this indulgence should be perverted into a license for sin, it is afterwards added, by way of correction, with (380) cleansing He will not cleanse, which, with the Chaldee interpreter and others, I understand as applying to His severe judgment against the reprobate and obstinate; for I do not like their opinion who say that, although God indeed pardons sins, yet He still moderately chastises those who have sinned; since this is a poor conjecture, that punishment is required though the guilt is remitted; and besides, it is altogether untrue, inasmuch as it is manifest, from experience that God passes over many sins without punishment. he had broken (Exodus 32:19), and bring them up Sinai to Jehovah. (2.) (6.) He preached in the same church as C. H. Spurgeon over one hundred years earlier. And I love dogs, but the dog has rabies. The savage who has never seen a rose, can only understand its nature when it is presented to him in full bloom; whereas he who knows what a rose is, realises its beauty and perfection when it is wrapped up in the bud. Fixed views of God are reserved for the future state; the best we have in this world are transient. And he was there with the Lord for forty days and forty nights; and he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. concerning Himself, first, as to His nature and second, as to His closely with the last section of the preceding chapter, and must be It is not thus that the believer, even if a Jew and therefore under law, was withdrawn from its condemning power. _HILDA BRIGHT AND KITTY PRIDE_ The latter is practical sanctification, admits of degrees, and is thus relative. Along with them there is the greatest possible care for the maintenance of one true God an immense principle. We can see therefore the moral propriety and beauty of this distinction, which at once separates the shadows of the latter part of Exodus into two main sections. Now that's asking God for an awful lot. At the same time the righteousness of the law is fulfilled so much the more in those that "walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit.". on high in the air over the mount, and on which the Lord now de And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and He is abundant in goodness and truth. Now there are people who try to say that there is a God of the Old Testament, and a God of the New Testament. The O.T. There, the sins of the parents being visited upon the children.Taking it from a sociological standpoint, and a psychological standpoint there are people today who are having a hard time making it in life because their parents were so totally messed up. For, as we said, the sanctification is "to obedience;" and this is the very first desire implanted in a soul from the moment that there is a real divine work in him. Countless and ceaseless as are the benefits which are imparted to us by the bright orb of day, the human eye cannot look upon his undimmed noonday face, without being blinded. Jonah sees WebMatthew Henry's Commentary on Exodus 34:5-7 Commentary on Exodus 34:5-9 (Read Exodus 34:5-9) The Lord descended by some open token of his presence and manifestation of his glory in a cloud, and thence proclaimed his NAME; that is, the perfections and character which are denoted by the name JEHOVAH. And so surely tremendous declarations of God's grace, God's mercy, God's forgiveness, God's goodness, God's truth. He's only watching over them. What improvement he made of it. He immediately adds, "and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation." As Law says, this heart is mercy. But the same Moses returns to Jehovah with the confession "Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. Mark the answer of Jehovah: "And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. Wherefore should the Egyptians speak and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? The descent of God, which is here recorded, indicates no change of place, as if God, who fills heaven and earth, and whose immensity is universally diffused, altered His position, but it has reference to the perceptions of men, because under the appearance of the cloud God testified that He met Moses. CHAPTER XXXIV.THE VISION OF GOD.Exodus 34:1-35It was when God had most graciously assured Moses of His affection, that he ventured, in so brief a cry that it is almost a gasp of longing, to ask, "Show me, I pray Thee, Thy glory" (Exodus 33:18).We have seen how nobly this petition pillar, which was now gone up from the door of the tabernacle, and was manifestation of his glory. Thus, it means thousands of generations! And, (3.) "And Jehovah descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah. "He who sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one." He reproaches them once more with being a stiff-necked people; He will not go up in the midst of them, lest He should consume them in the way. Christianity teaches its value instead of neutralising it. The way was now open into the presence of God. *Dr. Fairbairn views Christ's whole undertaking as symbolized already in the furniture and services of the Most Holy Place, and therefore considers the things belonging to the Holy Place as directly referring only to the works and services of His people. WebWith this, people have a great difficulty with God because of His orders to wipe them out, to exterminate them. We must remember that they are but shadows, and not the very image of the thing. The habitual means whereby God gives proof that He is right, graciously enabling us to understand is by His word. Yet even then Jehovah, while warning against making gods of silver and gold, deigned to direct them to make to Him an altar of ground for burnt-offerings and peace-offerings: if of stone two prohibitions instruct His people. _I will write upon these tables. Now three times in a year shall all your men children appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel ( Exodus 34:22-23 ). manifestation of his glory. 5. 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. Additional reminders concerned requirements for sacrifices and firstfruits (25-26; see 23:18-19).God then made a declaration that the covenant Israel had broken was now re-established. WebHis thoughts are with the nation of Israel and the reaching of the goal God had set for them: the conquest of Canaan. How Moses received this declaration which God made of himself, and of his grace and mercy. Scripture is positive that the veil is His flesh, but then it is as manifesting the Lord as man here below. We must take care that we receive the sense which God intends, otherwise we may err seriously, to His dishonour and to our own hurt and that of others. God may treat them as the people of Moses, and say, "They are the people you have brought up: they are your people." the objects of such countless favours, and of such signal honour on God's part.
