Exodus 3:10-15
Excerpted from: Where Do We Go From Here?Please notice how verses 10-15 is written in The Message Bible in Contemporary English because it clearly brings home a point that should remind us of exactly what God wants us to remember throughout all our generations forever, and how we need to think of Him, first and foremost.
Brethren, this translation of these 5 verses points to three things that must always be front and center in our very personal relationship with our Great God. The first two are absolutely guaranteed by the third!
The first, within verse 10, says “It’s time for you to go back.” This should help us consider that everything is being done in order and on God’s schedule as He moves all things to the end He has determined to create men perfectly in His image and likeness.
It is obvious to us that at this point in God’s 80-year preparation for the task Moses had been born to do, Moses was no longer the presumptuous deliverer of Israel from the Egyptians that He once considered himself to be. But now, as the Message Bible put it, with his pride deflated, his response to God was, "But why me? What makes you think that I could ever go to Pharaoh and lead the children of Israel out of Egypt?"
How many of us are saying the same things as we sit here today among God’s elect? (We are going to follow up on this in a minute.) But it is God’s reply to the humble shepherd that is vital for us to take with us always. God’s simple reply was, "I'll be with you."
Here is another very simple statement of truth: God had told Moses, “It is time to go, on My time schedule, with everything you need. I will be with you.” Then He ends this, as the only One who could possibly guarantee the covenantal agreement that would be worked out through generations into eternity; the One who inhabits eternity, declaring the end from the beginning—“I AM!” Not only does He sign this order to Moses with His name, but He also tells us, “This has always been My name, and this is how I always will be known!”
Maybe you have considered the emphasis that I have placed over the course of the sermons leading up to and through the holy days on the name “I AM” a bit too much. But when we are told from God’s Word, “This is how I always will be known,” we really need to consider this, even though it literally borders beyond the edges of human comprehension.
Exodus 3:12
Excerpted from: The Appointed Weeks of PentecostThis is the incident of Moses at the Burning Bush. God decrees at the outset that Moses and his people would serve God on this mountain, which was Mt. Horeb, also known as Sinai. That would be the culmination of the 7 weeks.
But those 7 weeks were a perfect span of time that portended something momentous and, all things considered, incredibly merciful: A covenant with their Creator and Deliverer. And true to His word, Moses and the people worshipped God on the same mountain on which He originally met with Moses.
Exodus 3:12
Excerpted from: Sanctification and Holiness (Part 1)Moses was standing on the dwelling place of God. It was God's territory.
Now where does a priest serve? He serves where God lives. He serves at God's altar. Where was God living symbolically at that time? He was living at Mount Sinai. And where was God's altar? The whole mountain was God's altar. He not only had a dwelling place, He also had an altar. It was a mountain.
Exodus 3:12-14
Excerpted from: Knowing GodGod's very name, when He revealed Himself to Moses, was "GOD is!" God is not becoming. He is one. He is not becoming something else. God is pure being.
