8 All the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do.” And Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord.
9 And the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I am coming to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.”
-There appears the people had an appearance of Godliness an appearance of a will to obey but as you will see they could not carry through. 'an appearance of Godliness without power.'
-God validated the ministry of Moses and established it eternally by supernatural power. Amazing love that God had for the man.
When Moses told the words of the people to the Lord, 10 the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments 11 and be ready for the third day. For on the third day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.
-Moses was not only a prophet but also a priest, who did holy service for the people - setting them apart, cleansing them for God in sacrifices, offerings, prayers, dedications etc. There is a requirement for holiness before we meet with the God of fire.
-Third day - interesting someone died and arose on the third day and was on earth to 'cast a fire'. An echo of resurrection power and glory of Zion.
-The third day will release revelation of God - preaching Christ's victory in resurrection will cause Him to show Himself.
10 the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments
-are we clean before His sight to meet with the God of fire? 'Hating the garment stained by sin.' Wear the robe of righteousness, the blood robe of the lamb, repent. A focus on the cross is essential
11 and be ready for the third day. For on the third day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.
-3rd day - picture of Christ's resurrection and appearance on the third day. Are we ready to meet the God of glory?
