WEBVTT

00:00:00.500 --> 00:00:04.459
 Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us for worship. For those of you who are new,

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:09.939
 my name is Sean. I'm one of the pastors of Trinity Cambridge Church, and we are in a sermon series

00:00:09.939 --> 00:00:14.660
 in the book of Exodus. So if you would please turn with me in your Bibles to Exodus chapter 24.

00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:18.559
 And if you don't have a Bible, feel free to raise your hand,

00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.339
 and we'll bring a Bible over for you that you can use while you're here.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.359
 Let me pray for the reading and preaching of God's Word.

00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:55.879
 Father, forgive me that I cannot do this passage justice,

00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:04.640
 but I ask that by the power of your Holy Spirit, you would use my snavering tongue to praise your name,

00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:07.320
 exalt the name of your Son, Jesus.

00:01:10.340 --> 00:01:14.740
 Point to the glory, your glory revealed in the face of Jesus Christ.

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:22.079
 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of all of our hearts be pleasing to you,

00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:24.439
 O Lord, our Rock and Redeemer.

00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:26.959
 Amen.

00:01:28.679 --> 00:01:35.039
 If you would please stand for the reading of God's Word from Exodus 24, verses 1 to 18.

00:01:40.299 --> 00:01:41.919
 Then he said to Moses,

00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:46.500
 Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu,

00:01:47.459 --> 00:01:49.099
 and seventy of the elders of Israel,

00:01:49.780 --> 00:01:51.599
 and worship from afar.

00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:55.640
 Moses alone shall come near to the Lord,

00:01:55.899 --> 00:01:57.839
 but the others shall not come near,

00:01:58.259 --> 00:02:00.979
 and the people shall not come up with him.

00:02:02.819 --> 00:02:06.799
 Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord and all the rules.

00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:10.379
 And all the people answered with one voice and said,

00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.599
 All the words that the Lord has spoken, we will do.

00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:18.799
 And Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord.

00:02:19.799 --> 00:02:24.319
 He rose early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:28.259
 and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

00:02:28.259 --> 00:02:33.519
 And he sent young men of the people of Israel who offered burnt offerings

00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:36.679
 and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the Lord.

00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:41.679
 And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins,

00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:44.799
 and half of the blood he threw against the altar.

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:50.140
 Then he took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people,

00:02:50.260 --> 00:02:50.880
 and they said,

00:02:51.540 --> 00:02:55.939
 All that the Lord has spoken, we will do, and we will be obedient.

00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:01.320
 And Moses took the blood and threw it on the people and said,

00:03:01.900 --> 00:03:07.040
 Behold the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you

00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:08.900
 in accordance with all these words.

00:03:08.900 --> 00:03:15.379
 Then Moses and Aaron and Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the elders of Israel went up,

00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:20.120
 and they saw the God of Israel.

00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:26.560
 There was under his feet, as it were, a pavement of sapphire stone,

00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:28.980
 like the very heaven for clearness.

00:03:29.980 --> 00:03:33.879
 And he did not lay his hand on the chief men of the people of Israel.

00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:38.719
 They beheld God and ate and drank.

00:03:39.900 --> 00:03:41.480
 The Lord said to Moses,

00:03:41.920 --> 00:03:44.060
 Come up to me on the mountain and wait there,

00:03:44.659 --> 00:03:48.379
 that I may give you the tablets of stone with the law and the commandment,

00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.099
 which I have written for their instruction.

00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.740
 So Moses rose with his assistant Joshua,

00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:56.900
 and Moses went up into the mountain of God.

00:03:57.420 --> 00:03:58.800
 And he said to the elders,

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.159
 Wait here for us until we return to you.

00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.560
 And behold, Aaron and Hur are with you.

00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.200
 Whoever has a dispute, let him go to them.

00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:09.079
 Then Moses went up on the mountain,

00:04:09.079 --> 00:04:11.239
 and the cloud covered the mountain.

00:04:11.780 --> 00:04:15.039
 The glory of the Lord dwelt on Mount Sinai,

00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.719
 and the cloud covered it six days.

00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:19.279
 And on the seventh day,

00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.019
 he called to Moses out of the mist of the cloud.

00:04:22.740 --> 00:04:24.779
 Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord

00:04:24.779 --> 00:04:27.879
 was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain

00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:29.860
 in the sight of the people of Israel.

00:04:29.860 --> 00:04:34.740
 Moses entered the cloud and went up on the mountain,

00:04:35.080 --> 00:04:39.439
 and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

00:04:40.379 --> 00:04:42.660
 This is God's holy and authoritative word.

00:04:42.860 --> 00:04:43.520
 Please be seated.

00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:55.599
 Vivek Murthy is the United States Surgeon General,

00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.979
 and that makes him our federal government's leading spokesman

00:04:59.979 --> 00:05:03.279
 on matters of personal health, public health.

00:05:04.359 --> 00:05:05.839
 And even before the pandemic,

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.139
 he wrote a book entitled Together,

00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.919
 The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World.

00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:18.199
 In the book, he makes the case that loneliness is a public health concern

00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:23.540
 and claims that our society is experiencing an epidemic of loneliness

00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:27.720
 of the same scale as the opioid epidemic or obesity.

00:05:29.200 --> 00:05:31.840
 This is driven, he argues, in large part

00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:33.740
 by the accelerated pace of life

00:05:33.740 --> 00:05:37.000
 and the spread of technology into all of our social interactions.

00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:42.220
 When we are preoccupied with efficiency and convenience,

00:05:42.860 --> 00:05:45.740
 real relationships, which are often inconvenient

00:05:45.740 --> 00:05:47.579
 and take time and hard work,

00:05:48.019 --> 00:05:49.300
 get relegated to the back burner.

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.540
 According to neuroscientists from another article,

00:05:54.660 --> 00:05:58.000
 our brain registers loneliness as a threat,

00:05:58.379 --> 00:06:02.259
 so it triggers our flight or fight response to stress hormones.

00:06:02.259 --> 00:06:04.560
 Your heart rate rises,

00:06:04.659 --> 00:06:06.539
 your blood pressures and blood sugar level increase

00:06:06.539 --> 00:06:09.120
 to provide energy in case you need it.

00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.899
 Your body produces extra inflammatory cells

00:06:11.899 --> 00:06:14.639
 to repair tissue damage and prevent infection

00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.219
 and fewer antibodies to fight viruses.

00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:19.480
 They say that subconsciously,

00:06:19.740 --> 00:06:22.980
 you start to view other people more as potential threats,

00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.459
 sources of rejection or apathy,

00:06:27.039 --> 00:06:28.539
 and less as friends,

00:06:29.259 --> 00:06:30.379
 remedies for your loneliness.

00:06:32.259 --> 00:06:34.539
 Not only does the feeling of loneliness

00:06:34.539 --> 00:06:37.680
 put us at greater risk for emotional disorders

00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.180
 like depression, anxiety, and substance abuse,

00:06:40.459 --> 00:06:41.920
 it also makes us more susceptible

00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.360
 to seemingly unrelated physical disorders

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.240
 such as cancer, dementia, hypertension,

00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.779
 heart disease, stroke, and premature death.

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.259
 People with weak social relationships

00:06:54.259 --> 00:06:56.899
 are 50% more likely to die prematurely

00:06:56.899 --> 00:06:58.379
 than people with strong relationships.

00:06:58.379 --> 00:07:02.659
 Meta-analysis by psychologist and neuroscientist

00:07:02.659 --> 00:07:03.800
 Julianne Holt-Lunstad

00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:05.719
 compares the health risks of loneliness

00:07:05.719 --> 00:07:08.139
 to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:11.959
 The so-called loneliness epidemic

00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.459
 has gotten worse since the pandemic.

00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.379
 According to a citywide survey

00:07:17.379 --> 00:07:18.740
 administered in New York City,

00:07:19.659 --> 00:07:22.719
 57% of city residents said that they feel lonely

00:07:22.719 --> 00:07:24.699
 some or most of the time.

00:07:24.699 --> 00:07:28.199
 We feel loneliness acutely

00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.959
 and loneliness affects us negatively

00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.519
 because it goes against God's design.

00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.579
 God himself is triune.

00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:39.599
 One God in three persons,

00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:41.360
 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

00:07:41.699 --> 00:07:44.819
 And he created us, humanity, in his image

00:07:44.819 --> 00:07:47.399
 so that we were created for fellowship,

00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.819
 to be in relationship with one another.

00:07:50.819 --> 00:07:53.879
 But not only did God create us

00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.480
 to be in relationships with fellow human beings,

00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:57.899
 even more fundamentally,

00:07:58.139 --> 00:08:00.339
 God created us for fellowship with himself.

00:08:01.500 --> 00:08:03.779
 And spiritual separation from God

00:08:03.779 --> 00:08:06.980
 is at the root of all the dysfunction

00:08:06.980 --> 00:08:09.139
 and disorder in this world.

00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:11.219
 To give you an example,

00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.240
 people suffer from psychological alienation

00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:15.000
 within themselves.

00:08:16.100 --> 00:08:18.899
 Anxiety, panic attacks, anorexia,

00:08:18.899 --> 00:08:21.620
 bulimia, depression, bipolar disorder,

00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:23.719
 gender dysphoria, schizophrenia.

00:08:24.719 --> 00:08:28.679
 Our society is also plagued with social alienation,

00:08:28.979 --> 00:08:30.000
 with other people.

00:08:30.099 --> 00:08:32.459
 Everywhere we turn, we hear of wars

00:08:32.459 --> 00:08:33.620
 and rumors of wars,

00:08:33.819 --> 00:08:35.699
 of prejudice and injustice,

00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:38.579
 of loneliness and isolation, of hatred.

00:08:40.059 --> 00:08:43.120
 Our world also suffers from physical alienation.

00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:45.399
 Nature is full of thorns,

00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:49.179
 earthquakes, drops, droughts, and hurricanes.

00:08:49.819 --> 00:08:52.379
 And our bodies succumb to various diseases,

00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.059
 dementia, diabetes, COVID, migraines, cancer.

00:08:57.620 --> 00:09:01.500
 All these dysfunctions, disorders,

00:09:01.659 --> 00:09:04.319
 and alienations, psychological, social,

00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:05.840
 and physical,

00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:08.639
 they are all horizontal alienations

00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.939
 that are symptoms of our vertical alienation from God.

00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:17.300
 At first, when God created Adam and Eve,

00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:18.760
 they enjoyed communion with God,

00:09:18.860 --> 00:09:19.660
 fellowship with God,

00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:20.940
 unbroken fellowship with God,

00:09:20.980 --> 00:09:23.360
 and they lived in peace,

00:09:23.580 --> 00:09:24.780
 in shalom, in wholeness.

00:09:25.160 --> 00:09:26.520
 But when they sinned against God,

00:09:26.580 --> 00:09:28.140
 they were expelled from His presence

00:09:28.140 --> 00:09:29.000
 from the Garden of Eden

00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:30.080
 because of their sin.

00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:32.940
 And it's that vertical alienation

00:09:33.680 --> 00:09:35.400
 that has produced all of this

00:09:35.400 --> 00:09:36.940
 horizontal alienation.

00:09:36.940 --> 00:09:37.660
 Alienation.

00:09:38.580 --> 00:09:40.040
 As human beings,

00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:43.460
 many of our jobs are working toward peace

00:09:43.460 --> 00:09:45.300
 and order and health and community

00:09:45.300 --> 00:09:46.360
 trying to fix this.

00:09:46.620 --> 00:09:49.220
 But utopia is always out of reach

00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:51.040
 because it can only be had

00:09:51.040 --> 00:09:53.920
 when we have perfect union with

00:09:53.920 --> 00:09:57.240
 and communion with the living God.

00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.500
 We see in this passage

00:10:01.500 --> 00:10:03.820
 a powerful evidence

00:10:03.820 --> 00:10:05.560
 of God's ultimate plan

00:10:05.560 --> 00:10:07.020
 to restore us

00:10:07.020 --> 00:10:08.120
 into fellowship with Him.

00:10:09.180 --> 00:10:10.280
 And this passage teaches us

00:10:10.280 --> 00:10:11.720
 that the Lord makes the blood

00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:13.120
 of the covenant with us

00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:14.900
 so that we might have fellowship

00:10:14.900 --> 00:10:16.060
 with Him.

00:10:16.140 --> 00:10:17.060
 So we're going to look at first

00:10:17.060 --> 00:10:18.120
 approaching the Lord,

00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:19.480
 consecrating to the Lord,

00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:20.900
 beholding the Lord,

00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:22.520
 and finally dwelling

00:10:22.520 --> 00:10:23.820
 with the Lord.

00:10:24.540 --> 00:10:26.360
 Let's look at verses 1-2.

00:10:26.540 --> 00:10:27.940
 Talk about approaching the Lord.

00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:29.940
 Previously in Exodus 20,

00:10:30.160 --> 00:10:32.020
 after God addressed all the Israelites

00:10:32.019 --> 00:10:33.679
 and spoke the Ten Commandments

00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:34.240
 over them,

00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:36.000
 the people were so afraid

00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:37.019
 that they asked Moses

00:10:37.019 --> 00:10:37.960
 to please go up

00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:38.960
 and speak to the Lord yourself

00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:40.960
 and then relay what He says to us

00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.579
 instead of having God

00:10:42.579 --> 00:10:43.519
 speak directly to us

00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:44.539
 because we might perish.

00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:46.699
 So people asked Moses to do that.

00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.079
 And so from Exodus 20, 22

00:10:49.079 --> 00:10:50.279
 to 23, 33,

00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:52.259
 all the words and rules

00:10:52.259 --> 00:10:54.279
 were spoken directly by Yahweh

00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:55.279
 to Moses

00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:56.720
 and not to all of the Israelites

00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.159
 with the expectation

00:10:58.159 --> 00:10:59.579
 that Moses would then relay it

00:10:59.579 --> 00:11:00.539
 to the rest of the Israelites.

00:11:00.539 --> 00:11:03.299
 But briefly in chapter 24,

00:11:03.379 --> 00:11:04.240
 verses 1-2,

00:11:04.839 --> 00:11:07.219
 the Lord addresses Moses individually

00:11:07.219 --> 00:11:09.299
 with this specific instruction.

00:11:10.299 --> 00:11:11.659
 Come up to the Lord,

00:11:13.019 --> 00:11:13.779
 you and Aaron,

00:11:14.139 --> 00:11:14.939
 Nadab and Abihu,

00:11:15.179 --> 00:11:16.740
 and 70 of the elders of Israel,

00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:18.399
 and worship from afar.

00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.360
 Moses alone shall come near to the Lord,

00:11:21.439 --> 00:11:22.919
 but the others shall not come near,

00:11:23.179 --> 00:11:25.219
 and the people shall not come up with him.

00:11:26.139 --> 00:11:26.740
 So Moses,

00:11:26.980 --> 00:11:28.259
 it's not uncommon for the Lord

00:11:28.259 --> 00:11:30.080
 to speak in the third person

00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:31.259
 referring to himself.

00:11:31.379 --> 00:11:32.179
 He's a triune God.

00:11:33.100 --> 00:11:33.659
 And so here,

00:11:33.779 --> 00:11:34.500
 Moses and Aaron

00:11:34.500 --> 00:11:36.259
 are invited to come up to the mountain

00:11:36.259 --> 00:11:38.179
 along with Nadab and Abihu,

00:11:38.419 --> 00:11:39.659
 two of Aaron's sons,

00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:41.840
 and 70 of the elders of Israel

00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:43.439
 who had some kind of governing role

00:11:43.439 --> 00:11:44.159
 within Israel

00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:45.659
 at this stage of their national life.

00:11:46.059 --> 00:11:48.159
 But there is still a distance.

00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:50.159
 Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu,

00:11:50.500 --> 00:11:51.679
 and the 70 elders

00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.179
 worship the Lord from afar,

00:11:53.259 --> 00:11:53.620
 it says.

00:11:54.319 --> 00:11:56.899
 Moses alone shall come near to the Lord.

00:11:56.899 --> 00:11:59.139
 The others shall not come near.

00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:00.860
 And there's still yet more distance

00:12:00.860 --> 00:12:02.199
 for the rest of the people of God.

00:12:02.299 --> 00:12:03.659
 They are not even to come up

00:12:03.659 --> 00:12:04.699
 to the mountain.

00:12:05.439 --> 00:12:06.039
 They are to remain

00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:07.179
 at the foot of the mountain.

00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:09.100
 So there are three tiers

00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:11.100
 of intimacy with God here.

00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.199
 Kind of like going to a theater.

00:12:14.439 --> 00:12:15.579
 You guys have been to

00:12:15.579 --> 00:12:17.699
 Broadway theater shows.

00:12:17.959 --> 00:12:18.059
 You know,

00:12:18.179 --> 00:12:19.600
 you have the orchestra seats

00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:20.220
 right up front,

00:12:20.699 --> 00:12:22.519
 and then you have the mezzanine seats

00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:25.139
 slowly behind that and above,

00:12:25.139 --> 00:12:25.980
 and then you've got

00:12:25.980 --> 00:12:26.899
 the nosebleed seats

00:12:26.899 --> 00:12:28.039
 in the,

00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:29.340
 what do you call that,

00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:29.860
 in the balcony.

00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:30.439
 Yeah.

00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:32.399
 And for that,

00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:34.860
 it's really just a matter

00:12:34.860 --> 00:12:35.639
 of how much money

00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:36.460
 you can pay

00:12:36.460 --> 00:12:37.279
 or are willing to pay,

00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:38.360
 but this is something

00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:39.080
 far deeper

00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:40.279
 and significant than that.

00:12:40.819 --> 00:12:41.740
 The people of Israel

00:12:41.740 --> 00:12:42.419
 can worship

00:12:42.419 --> 00:12:43.659
 only at the foot

00:12:43.659 --> 00:12:44.240
 of the mountain.

00:12:44.379 --> 00:12:45.039
 There's a distance

00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:46.480
 that they cannot bridge.

00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:49.139
 They offer sacrifices

00:12:49.139 --> 00:12:50.100
 at the foot

00:12:50.100 --> 00:12:51.120
 of the mountain

00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:53.019
 to make atonement

00:12:53.019 --> 00:12:53.539
 for sin.

00:12:53.980 --> 00:12:55.000
 They may not come up.

00:12:55.779 --> 00:12:57.000
 The soon-to-be priests,

00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:57.720
 Aaron, Nadab,

00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:58.100
 and Abihu,

00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:59.159
 along with the 70 elders,

00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:00.199
 can come up partway

00:13:00.199 --> 00:13:00.819
 up the mountain,

00:13:01.199 --> 00:13:02.240
 but they still must remain

00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:02.879
 far away.

00:13:02.980 --> 00:13:03.860
 They cannot come near

00:13:03.860 --> 00:13:04.360
 to the Lord.

00:13:05.199 --> 00:13:06.100
 This pattern

00:13:06.100 --> 00:13:06.960
 of Mount Sinai,

00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:07.659
 the three tiers

00:13:07.659 --> 00:13:08.360
 of Mount Sinai,

00:13:08.439 --> 00:13:09.879
 will be reflected later

00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:10.779
 when Israelites

00:13:10.779 --> 00:13:12.240
 build the tabernacle

00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:13.259
 in the following chapters.

00:13:14.179 --> 00:13:14.980
 In the tabernacle,

00:13:15.079 --> 00:13:15.840
 the tent of God,

00:13:16.019 --> 00:13:17.600
 there were three levels,

00:13:17.899 --> 00:13:18.840
 were three sections.

00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:19.840
 The outer court,

00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.220
 where the people of God

00:13:21.220 --> 00:13:22.300
 offered sacrifice

00:13:22.300 --> 00:13:23.500
 and worshiped,

00:13:23.899 --> 00:13:25.320
 and the tent proper,

00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:26.100
 the tent of meeting,

00:13:26.220 --> 00:13:27.060
 the tabernacle proper

00:13:27.060 --> 00:13:28.840
 inside which the holy place

00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:29.759
 that only the priests

00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:30.180
 could enter.

00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:32.480
 And even within that tent,

00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:33.379
 there was a section

00:13:33.379 --> 00:13:35.240
 cordoned off by a curtain,

00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:35.840
 a veil,

00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:37.420
 separating the holy place

00:13:37.420 --> 00:13:38.460
 from the most holy place.

00:13:38.860 --> 00:13:40.060
 And to the most holy place,

00:13:40.139 --> 00:13:41.160
 only the high priest,

00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:42.360
 the one high priest,

00:13:42.680 --> 00:13:43.220
 could enter,

00:13:43.560 --> 00:13:45.400
 and that only once a year

00:13:45.400 --> 00:13:46.840
 on the Day of Atonement.

00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:49.639
 So the tabernacle becomes

00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:50.980
 a portable version

00:13:50.980 --> 00:13:52.100
 of Mount Sinai,

00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:53.700
 of God's dwelling place

00:13:53.700 --> 00:13:55.200
 traveling with Israel

00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:56.379
 through the wilderness

00:13:56.379 --> 00:13:57.680
 and into the promised land.

00:13:58.800 --> 00:14:00.639
 But why doesn't God

00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:01.840
 just let everyone

00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:02.600
 come up the mountain?

00:14:04.899 --> 00:14:06.000
 Why does he have

00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:06.820
 to be so exclusive?

00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.340
 The enforced distance

00:14:11.340 --> 00:14:13.500
 communicates God's holiness.

00:14:13.500 --> 00:14:17.799
 As it says in Exodus 19, 20,

00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:19.179
 the Lord came down

00:14:19.179 --> 00:14:20.179
 on Mount Sinai,

00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:21.879
 but Moses and Aaron

00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:22.679
 and Erebe and Abihu,

00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:23.820
 they have to go up

00:14:23.820 --> 00:14:25.620
 the mountain to the Lord.

00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:27.700
 Mount Sinai functions

00:14:27.700 --> 00:14:29.200
 as a sort of middle ground

00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:30.080
 between the Lord

00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:31.860
 who dwells on high

00:14:31.860 --> 00:14:32.740
 in the highest heavens

00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:33.679
 and the people

00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:34.639
 who dwell below.

00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:36.200
 It's not that God

00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:37.480
 physically lives

00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:38.120
 in the heavens.

00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:38.899
 He is spirit

00:14:38.899 --> 00:14:40.379
 and he is omnipresent.

00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:41.460
 He's in all places

00:14:41.460 --> 00:14:42.240
 at all times.

00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:43.480
 Yet this language

00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:44.399
 of coming down

00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:44.960
 and the people

00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:46.139
 going up to meet him

00:14:46.139 --> 00:14:48.379
 communicates the vast chasm

00:14:48.379 --> 00:14:49.799
 that lies between them.

00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:51.840
 There's a distance

00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:53.320
 that they cannot bridge.

00:14:54.700 --> 00:14:55.860
 Another way to say that

00:14:55.860 --> 00:14:57.320
 is that God is holy,

00:14:57.860 --> 00:15:00.159
 meaning set apart from us,

00:15:00.659 --> 00:15:03.799
 consecrated, special, holy.

00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:06.539
 To be holy,

00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:08.120
 it's the opposite

00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:09.100
 of being common.

00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:10.639
 The fact that God is holy

00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:12.539
 means that he is not like us.

00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:13.439
 He's uncommon.

00:15:14.019 --> 00:15:15.600
 He is set apart from us.

00:15:16.139 --> 00:15:18.179
 And he's not just qualitatively

00:15:18.179 --> 00:15:19.960
 or quantitatively different from us.

00:15:20.419 --> 00:15:21.960
 He's not just a superlative

00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:22.819
 version of man.

00:15:22.939 --> 00:15:24.259
 He is quantitatively

00:15:24.259 --> 00:15:25.000
 different from us.

00:15:25.939 --> 00:15:27.279
 No matter how advanced

00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:28.059
 or perfected

00:15:28.059 --> 00:15:29.860
 our artificial intelligence gets,

00:15:30.419 --> 00:15:31.860
 it will never be human.

00:15:33.019 --> 00:15:33.539
 Likewise,

00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:34.960
 no matter how advanced

00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:36.240
 or perfected

00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:37.460
 we human beings get,

00:15:37.700 --> 00:15:39.420
 we will never be God.

00:15:41.040 --> 00:15:42.500
 When prophet Isaiah

00:15:42.500 --> 00:15:43.480
 and apostle John

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:44.740
 saw visions of the Lord,

00:15:44.820 --> 00:15:46.060
 they both saw angels

00:15:46.060 --> 00:15:46.580
 and creatures

00:15:46.580 --> 00:15:47.300
 attending him,

00:15:47.379 --> 00:15:48.180
 singing,

00:15:48.400 --> 00:15:48.759
 holy,

00:15:49.160 --> 00:15:49.700
 holy,

00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:50.660
 holy.

00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:51.920
 Our triune God

00:15:51.920 --> 00:15:53.500
 is thrice holy,

00:15:54.560 --> 00:15:56.060
 perfect in holiness.

00:15:56.700 --> 00:15:58.460
 There's no one before him

00:15:58.460 --> 00:15:59.660
 or after him,

00:15:59.680 --> 00:16:00.600
 and there is none

00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:01.639
 beside him.

00:16:01.700 --> 00:16:02.420
 There's no peer.

00:16:02.560 --> 00:16:03.800
 He has no peer or rival.

00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.179
 He is unlike any other.

00:16:06.819 --> 00:16:07.419
 That's what it means

00:16:07.419 --> 00:16:08.459
 that God is set apart.

00:16:08.979 --> 00:16:09.659
 He is holy.

00:16:11.659 --> 00:16:12.620
 During college,

00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:13.859
 I studied abroad

00:16:13.859 --> 00:16:14.699
 for a year in England

00:16:14.699 --> 00:16:15.799
 and used that year

00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:17.219
 to travel on cheaply

00:16:17.219 --> 00:16:19.539
 and visited dozens

00:16:19.539 --> 00:16:20.219
 of art museums.

00:16:20.859 --> 00:16:22.339
 I don't remember very much

00:16:22.339 --> 00:16:24.000
 from the museums

00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:25.259
 that I visited,

00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:27.039
 but I do distinctly remember

00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:28.219
 one place,

00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:30.279
 and that was the Sistine Chapel

00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:31.359
 inside Vatican City,

00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:33.259
 famed for the murals

00:16:33.259 --> 00:16:34.519
 painted by Michelangelo

00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:36.340
 and the papal enclaves

00:16:36.340 --> 00:16:37.080
 that take place there

00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:38.120
 where the Catholic cardinals

00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:39.740
 elect their new pope.

00:16:40.899 --> 00:16:42.460
 And that visit stands out

00:16:42.460 --> 00:16:43.319
 in my memory

00:16:43.319 --> 00:16:44.220
 for a number of reasons.

00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:45.419
 One is because

00:16:45.419 --> 00:16:47.259
 they require absolute silence

00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:49.100
 inside the chapel

00:16:49.100 --> 00:16:50.159
 when you go in.

00:16:51.439 --> 00:16:52.980
 And using mobile phones

00:16:52.980 --> 00:16:53.980
 or taking photos

00:16:53.980 --> 00:16:54.720
 is not allowed.

00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:57.620
 They ban phones

00:16:57.620 --> 00:16:58.139
 and cameras

00:16:58.139 --> 00:17:00.080
 and impose silence

00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:02.080
 because they want

00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:03.240
 to convey the sense

00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:04.220
 of sacredness

00:17:04.220 --> 00:17:04.819
 of the space

00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:07.480
 because the camera flash

00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:08.980
 and the shutter sound

00:17:08.980 --> 00:17:10.079
 going off constantly

00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:11.420
 and tourists chattering

00:17:11.420 --> 00:17:12.640
 all around the place

00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:13.400
 would detract

00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:14.559
 from the solemnity

00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:15.660
 of the place.

00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:18.660
 And it's very effective,

00:17:18.900 --> 00:17:19.380
 this practice.

00:17:19.600 --> 00:17:20.539
 As soon as you

00:17:20.539 --> 00:17:21.559
 enter the chapel,

00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:22.839
 a hush comes

00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:23.659
 over the place.

00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:25.039
 No one is distracted

00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:25.740
 on their phones

00:17:25.740 --> 00:17:26.639
 and everyone

00:17:26.639 --> 00:17:27.879
 is standing in awe

00:17:27.879 --> 00:17:29.779
 of the artistic masterpieces

00:17:29.779 --> 00:17:30.579
 that surround you

00:17:30.579 --> 00:17:31.159
 on the walls

00:17:31.159 --> 00:17:32.039
 and on the ceiling.

00:17:33.940 --> 00:17:35.480
 And the whole experience

00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:37.159
 leaves an indelible impression.

00:17:37.539 --> 00:17:38.659
 This is no common,

00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:41.059
 ordinary place.

00:17:41.919 --> 00:17:43.599
 It's a sacred space,

00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:45.960
 set apart space.

00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:50.180
 If the Sistine Chapel

00:17:50.180 --> 00:17:51.440
 is set apart

00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:52.740
 in its way,

00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:54.100
 how much more

00:17:54.100 --> 00:17:55.779
 Mount Sinai

00:17:55.779 --> 00:17:59.079
 upon which Yahweh,

00:17:59.819 --> 00:18:01.200
 the Holy One Himself,

00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:04.120
 has personally descended.

00:18:06.700 --> 00:18:08.039
 Sinai is a place

00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:08.840
 like no other

00:18:08.840 --> 00:18:10.420
 and the enforced distance

00:18:10.420 --> 00:18:11.700
 communicates

00:18:11.700 --> 00:18:13.259
 the holiness of God.

00:18:13.259 --> 00:18:15.480
 But the distance

00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:16.079
 is enforced

00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:17.700
 not only to preserve

00:18:17.700 --> 00:18:18.680
 the holiness of God

00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:19.700
 but also to protect

00:18:19.700 --> 00:18:20.379
 God's people.

00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:22.400
 Habakkuk 1.13

00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:23.039
 says that God

00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:24.319
 is of purer eyes

00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:25.220
 than to see evil

00:18:25.220 --> 00:18:26.740
 and cannot look at wrong.

00:18:28.099 --> 00:18:29.019
 The Lord dwells

00:18:29.019 --> 00:18:30.920
 in unapproachable light

00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:31.819
 before whom

00:18:31.819 --> 00:18:33.240
 all our hidden sins

00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:34.039
 are exposed,

00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:35.960
 past, present,

00:18:36.019 --> 00:18:36.519
 and future.

00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:39.119
 Our Lord is often

00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:39.680
 described as

00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:41.160
 a consuming fire.

00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:42.859
 The fire is useful,

00:18:42.859 --> 00:18:43.219
 of course,

00:18:43.259 --> 00:18:43.740
 in many ways.

00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:44.759
 It kills bacteria

00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:45.379
 and it makes

00:18:45.379 --> 00:18:46.179
 certain foods edible.

00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:47.419
 It burns up the dross

00:18:47.419 --> 00:18:48.099
 and refines

00:18:48.099 --> 00:18:49.159
 precious metals.

00:18:49.539 --> 00:18:50.639
 But we have this saying

00:18:50.639 --> 00:18:51.159
 for a reason,

00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:52.619
 don't play with fire

00:18:52.619 --> 00:18:55.799
 because fire is dangerous

00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:57.819
 and it's foolish

00:18:57.819 --> 00:18:58.619
 to play with it.

00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:01.039
 Sinners

00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:02.859
 who approach

00:19:03.579 --> 00:19:04.219
 the Holy God

00:19:04.219 --> 00:19:04.759
 perish.

00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:06.939
 God is not

00:19:06.939 --> 00:19:08.059
 someone to toy with.

00:19:08.979 --> 00:19:09.759
 He is not someone

00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:10.859
 we can push around

00:19:10.859 --> 00:19:12.159
 or presume upon.

00:19:12.740 --> 00:19:13.419
 And that's why

00:19:13.419 --> 00:19:14.079
 in verse 11,

00:19:14.179 --> 00:19:15.019
 Moses notes

00:19:15.019 --> 00:19:16.099
 with some surprise

00:19:16.099 --> 00:19:17.259
 that when he

00:19:17.259 --> 00:19:17.939
 and Aaron

00:19:17.939 --> 00:19:18.379
 and Nadab

00:19:18.379 --> 00:19:18.759
 and Abihu

00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:19.679
 and the 70 elders

00:19:19.679 --> 00:19:21.179
 ascended the mountain

00:19:21.179 --> 00:19:21.699
 partway

00:19:21.699 --> 00:19:22.659
 and beheld God

00:19:22.659 --> 00:19:23.059
 and ate

00:19:23.059 --> 00:19:23.979
 and drank with him,

00:19:24.459 --> 00:19:25.219
 he notes that

00:19:25.219 --> 00:19:25.939
 Yahweh

00:19:25.939 --> 00:19:27.179
 did not lay

00:19:27.179 --> 00:19:27.919
 his hand

00:19:27.919 --> 00:19:28.899
 on the chief men

00:19:28.899 --> 00:19:29.859
 of the people of Israel.

00:19:30.099 --> 00:19:30.759
 And that expression,

00:19:30.899 --> 00:19:31.619
 laying his hands,

00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:32.699
 refers to punishment

00:19:32.699 --> 00:19:33.759
 and judgment.

00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:36.319
 Because our Holy God

00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:37.799
 cannot countenance sinners,

00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:38.839
 his fiery judgment

00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:40.279
 breaks out against sinners

00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:41.240
 and consumes them.

00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:42.920
 So it is remarkable

00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:43.680
 that these men

00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:44.559
 were not consumed

00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:45.759
 and it's because

00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:46.680
 of the blood

00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:47.339
 of the covenant

00:19:47.339 --> 00:19:48.000
 that they make

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:48.599
 with the Lord

00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:49.420
 as we'll see shortly.

00:19:50.539 --> 00:19:51.440
 The three tiers

00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:52.180
 of nearness

00:19:52.180 --> 00:19:52.920
 on Mount Sinai

00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:53.379
 and the command

00:19:53.379 --> 00:19:54.759
 to maintain a distance

00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:55.700
 therefore serve

00:19:55.700 --> 00:19:56.319
 to protect

00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:57.339
 God's people

00:19:57.339 --> 00:19:58.460
 from the wrath of God,

00:19:58.599 --> 00:19:59.660
 from his holy justice.

00:19:59.660 --> 00:20:02.560
 And that's precisely

00:20:02.560 --> 00:20:03.500
 because Yahweh

00:20:03.500 --> 00:20:04.180
 is holy

00:20:04.180 --> 00:20:05.320
 and set apart

00:20:05.320 --> 00:20:07.060
 and his people

00:20:07.060 --> 00:20:08.060
 who wish to approach him

00:20:08.060 --> 00:20:09.320
 must be consecrated.

00:20:10.040 --> 00:20:10.540
 They themselves

00:20:10.540 --> 00:20:11.660
 must be set apart

00:20:11.660 --> 00:20:12.200
 for him.

00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:13.200
 And that's what

00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:14.180
 verses 3 to 8

00:20:14.180 --> 00:20:15.140
 are speaking of.

00:20:15.220 --> 00:20:15.580
 The Israelites

00:20:15.580 --> 00:20:16.220
 are set apart

00:20:16.220 --> 00:20:16.640
 for God

00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:17.519
 by two things.

00:20:17.660 --> 00:20:18.519
 One is the book

00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:19.100
 of the covenant

00:20:19.100 --> 00:20:19.920
 and the other

00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:20.600
 is the blood

00:20:20.600 --> 00:20:21.120
 of the covenant.

00:20:21.779 --> 00:20:22.580
 And before we talk

00:20:22.580 --> 00:20:23.200
 about those things,

00:20:23.360 --> 00:20:24.300
 we need to understand

00:20:24.300 --> 00:20:25.460
 what a covenant is

00:20:25.460 --> 00:20:26.000
 and the covenant

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:28.580
 is a legally binding

00:20:28.580 --> 00:20:29.640
 relationship

00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:31.840
 confirmed with an oath.

00:20:33.100 --> 00:20:33.700
 You can take

00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:34.480
 various forms

00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:35.320
 but the covenant

00:20:35.320 --> 00:20:36.540
 between the Lord

00:20:36.540 --> 00:20:37.480
 and his people

00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:39.420
 most closely follow

00:20:39.420 --> 00:20:39.940
 the model

00:20:39.940 --> 00:20:40.460
 of ancient

00:20:40.460 --> 00:20:40.980
 Near Eastern

00:20:40.980 --> 00:20:42.400
 suzerain vassal treaties

00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:43.960
 where a more powerful

00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:44.320
 king,

00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:44.820
 the Lord,

00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:45.540
 the suzerain

00:20:45.540 --> 00:20:46.820
 and a weaker king,

00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:47.480
 the subject,

00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:48.160
 the vassal

00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:49.780
 enter into a covenant

00:20:49.780 --> 00:20:50.680
 relationship

00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:51.420
 with one another.

00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:53.180
 And the weaker king

00:20:53.180 --> 00:20:53.940
 pays tribute

00:20:53.940 --> 00:20:55.040
 to the more powerful king

00:20:55.040 --> 00:20:55.680
 and fulfills

00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:56.500
 other obligations

00:20:56.500 --> 00:20:58.180
 and the more powerful king

00:20:58.180 --> 00:20:59.580
 makes certain promises

00:20:59.579 --> 00:21:00.379
 and protects

00:21:00.379 --> 00:21:01.259
 the weaker king

00:21:01.259 --> 00:21:02.699
 from hostile powers.

00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:04.559
 The Lord

00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:06.000
 is the suzerain

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:07.299
 and his people

00:21:07.299 --> 00:21:08.480
 are his vassals.

00:21:09.859 --> 00:21:11.000
 And this covenantal

00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:11.839
 relationship is marked

00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:12.740
 like I said

00:21:12.740 --> 00:21:13.519
 by two things,

00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:13.980
 the book

00:21:13.980 --> 00:21:15.000
 and the blood.

00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:15.740
 First the book,

00:21:15.819 --> 00:21:16.539
 it says in verse 3,

00:21:16.539 --> 00:21:17.579
 Moses came and told

00:21:17.579 --> 00:21:18.099
 the people

00:21:18.099 --> 00:21:19.599
 all the words

00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:20.159
 of the Lord

00:21:20.159 --> 00:21:21.159
 and all the rules

00:21:21.159 --> 00:21:22.579
 and all the people

00:21:22.579 --> 00:21:24.059
 answered with one voice

00:21:24.059 --> 00:21:24.519
 and said,

00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:26.159
 all the words

00:21:26.159 --> 00:21:26.759
 that the Lord

00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:27.379
 has spoken

00:21:27.379 --> 00:21:29.379
 we will do.

00:21:31.259 --> 00:21:32.059
 Since the

00:21:32.059 --> 00:21:32.980
 Ten Commandments

00:21:32.980 --> 00:21:33.579
 were spoken

00:21:33.579 --> 00:21:35.000
 directly by the Lord

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:35.879
 here to the people

00:21:35.879 --> 00:21:36.279
 of Israel

00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:37.139
 in chapter 20,

00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:39.220
 those did not need

00:21:39.220 --> 00:21:39.960
 to be relayed

00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:40.700
 to the Israelites.

00:21:40.819 --> 00:21:41.279
 So the words

00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:41.659
 and rules

00:21:41.659 --> 00:21:42.440
 being referred to here

00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:42.799
 are likely

00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:43.420
 what follows

00:21:43.420 --> 00:21:44.039
 the Ten Commandments,

00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:45.159
 the specific application

00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:46.120
 of the Ten Commandments

00:21:46.120 --> 00:21:47.420
 in chapter 20 to 23.

00:21:48.340 --> 00:21:49.400
 All of these things

00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:49.900
 that the Lord

00:21:49.900 --> 00:21:50.480
 has spoken,

00:21:50.600 --> 00:21:51.019
 they say,

00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:52.120
 we will do.

00:21:52.940 --> 00:21:54.000
 And then in verse 4,

00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:55.100
 Moses writes down

00:21:55.100 --> 00:21:55.580
 all the words

00:21:55.580 --> 00:21:55.920
 of the Lord

00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:56.779
 and compiles it

00:21:56.779 --> 00:21:57.560
 into a book

00:21:57.560 --> 00:21:58.220
 which becomes

00:21:58.220 --> 00:21:59.700
 the book of the covenant.

00:22:00.360 --> 00:22:01.380
 And on the next day

00:22:01.380 --> 00:22:01.940
 in verse 7,

00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:02.640
 he takes the book

00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:03.140
 of the covenant

00:22:03.140 --> 00:22:04.100
 and reads it

00:22:04.100 --> 00:22:04.779
 in the hearing

00:22:04.779 --> 00:22:05.480
 of the people.

00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:06.740
 And after that,

00:22:06.820 --> 00:22:07.880
 the people say again,

00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:09.519
 all that the Lord

00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:10.200
 has spoken,

00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:11.640
 we will do

00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:13.560
 and we will be obedient.

00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:15.440
 This repetition

00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:16.179
 of their

00:22:16.179 --> 00:22:17.659
 voluntary commitment

00:22:17.659 --> 00:22:18.940
 in allegiance

00:22:18.940 --> 00:22:20.279
 to the word of God

00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:21.859
 emphasizes the importance

00:22:21.859 --> 00:22:22.579
 of the book

00:22:22.579 --> 00:22:23.220
 of the covenant

00:22:23.220 --> 00:22:24.759
 in defining the identity

00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:25.759
 of God's people.

00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:27.799
 Ever since then,

00:22:27.859 --> 00:22:28.419
 God's people

00:22:28.419 --> 00:22:29.159
 have been known

00:22:29.159 --> 00:22:29.940
 as people

00:22:29.940 --> 00:22:30.799
 of the book.

00:22:31.919 --> 00:22:32.879
 We are not

00:22:32.879 --> 00:22:34.619
 people of the times

00:22:34.619 --> 00:22:36.319
 or people

00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:37.419
 of the phone,

00:22:38.460 --> 00:22:39.099
 but people

00:22:39.099 --> 00:22:40.240
 of the book.

00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:43.380
 In particular,

00:22:43.539 --> 00:22:43.960
 we are people

00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:45.099
 of this book,

00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:48.259
 the word of God,

00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:49.579
 because God

00:22:49.579 --> 00:22:51.039
 governs his people

00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:52.259
 by his word.

00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:53.960
 Christianity

00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:54.859
 is not merely

00:22:54.859 --> 00:22:56.279
 about keeping the law.

00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:56.920
 It's about

00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:58.380
 a covenant relationship

00:22:58.380 --> 00:22:59.039
 with God.

00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:02.220
 You can tell

00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:02.779
 whether or not

00:23:02.779 --> 00:23:03.259
 a subject

00:23:03.259 --> 00:23:04.220
 is loyal

00:23:04.220 --> 00:23:05.720
 to his or her king

00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:07.180
 by their obedience

00:23:07.180 --> 00:23:08.000
 to his decree.

00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:09.279
 Likewise,

00:23:09.420 --> 00:23:10.019
 we can tell

00:23:10.019 --> 00:23:10.980
 that God's people

00:23:10.980 --> 00:23:12.140
 are loyal to God

00:23:12.140 --> 00:23:12.920
 by their obedience

00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:14.220
 to his word.

00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:15.559
 It's our faith

00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:16.740
 in and obedience

00:23:16.740 --> 00:23:17.940
 to God's word

00:23:17.940 --> 00:23:19.880
 that consecrates us,

00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:21.240
 sets us apart

00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:22.160
 from the world.

00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:24.859
 This is how

00:23:24.859 --> 00:23:25.960
 we are to be identified.

00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:29.019
 Not by our

00:23:29.019 --> 00:23:30.200
 political prowess,

00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:32.519
 not by how many

00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:33.380
 followers we have

00:23:33.380 --> 00:23:34.140
 on social media,

00:23:34.779 --> 00:23:35.700
 not by how

00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:36.420
 in sync

00:23:36.420 --> 00:23:37.060
 we are with

00:23:37.060 --> 00:23:38.420
 the changing times

00:23:38.420 --> 00:23:39.060
 or the world,

00:23:39.420 --> 00:23:41.220
 but by our allegiance

00:23:41.220 --> 00:23:43.200
 to God's unchanging word.

00:23:43.360 --> 00:23:44.100
 That's how

00:23:44.100 --> 00:23:44.940
 we are to be known

00:23:44.940 --> 00:23:46.200
 as the people of God.

00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:50.019
 If we do all

00:23:50.019 --> 00:23:50.900
 that God has spoken,

00:23:51.360 --> 00:23:52.560
 we will stand out.

00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:53.940
 We will be set apart.

00:23:54.460 --> 00:23:55.340
 God consecrates

00:23:55.340 --> 00:23:55.980
 us to himself

00:23:55.980 --> 00:23:56.660
 by his book.

00:23:57.980 --> 00:23:58.900
 The second thing

00:23:58.900 --> 00:23:59.519
 that God uses

00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:00.400
 to consecrate us

00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:00.860
 to himself

00:24:00.860 --> 00:24:01.920
 is the blood.

00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:03.220
 After writing down

00:24:03.220 --> 00:24:03.580
 the book

00:24:03.580 --> 00:24:04.140
 of the covenant,

00:24:04.259 --> 00:24:04.960
 it says in

00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:06.039
 verses 46,

00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:06.720
 Moses rose

00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:07.639
 early in the morning

00:24:07.639 --> 00:24:09.099
 and built an altar

00:24:09.099 --> 00:24:09.819
 at the foot

00:24:09.819 --> 00:24:10.480
 of the mountain

00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:11.859
 and 12 pillars

00:24:11.859 --> 00:24:13.420
 according to the 12 tribes

00:24:13.420 --> 00:24:13.940
 of Israel.

00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:15.099
 And he sent

00:24:15.099 --> 00:24:15.759
 young men

00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:16.220
 of the people

00:24:16.220 --> 00:24:16.619
 of Israel

00:24:16.619 --> 00:24:17.299
 who offered

00:24:17.299 --> 00:24:18.079
 burnt offerings

00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:18.759
 and sacrificed

00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:19.539
 peace offerings

00:24:19.539 --> 00:24:20.559
 of oxen to the Lord.

00:24:21.180 --> 00:24:21.879
 And Moses took

00:24:21.879 --> 00:24:23.000
 half of the blood

00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:23.940
 and put it in basins

00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:24.759
 and half of the blood

00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:25.220
 he threw it

00:24:25.220 --> 00:24:26.119
 against the altar.

00:24:27.059 --> 00:24:27.819
 And an altar

00:24:27.819 --> 00:24:28.879
 is a place

00:24:28.879 --> 00:24:29.619
 for worship

00:24:29.619 --> 00:24:30.680
 and sacrifice

00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:32.019
 and the 12 pillars

00:24:32.019 --> 00:24:33.899
 represent the 12 tribes

00:24:33.900 --> 00:24:34.660
 of Israel

00:24:34.660 --> 00:24:35.480
 standing before

00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:35.920
 the presence

00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:36.320
 of God

00:24:36.320 --> 00:24:36.880
 at the altar.

00:24:37.660 --> 00:24:38.280
 After Moses

00:24:38.280 --> 00:24:39.200
 builds the altar,

00:24:39.460 --> 00:24:40.180
 some of the young men

00:24:40.180 --> 00:24:40.560
 of the people

00:24:40.560 --> 00:24:41.080
 of Israel

00:24:41.080 --> 00:24:42.600
 offer burnt offerings

00:24:42.600 --> 00:24:44.180
 and peace offerings

00:24:44.180 --> 00:24:44.960
 to the Lord.

00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:47.019
 Leviticus 1.9

00:24:47.019 --> 00:24:48.240
 specifies that

00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:49.300
 burnt offerings

00:24:49.300 --> 00:24:50.240
 were some of the

00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:51.120
 most costly

00:24:51.120 --> 00:24:52.340
 kind of offerings

00:24:52.340 --> 00:24:53.960
 because it involved

00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:55.360
 burning the entire

00:24:55.360 --> 00:24:56.440
 sacrificial animal.

00:24:57.080 --> 00:24:58.140
 Burned completely

00:24:58.140 --> 00:25:00.259
 as a pleasing aroma

00:25:00.259 --> 00:25:00.720
 to God.

00:25:00.800 --> 00:25:01.200
 It's dedicated

00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:02.060
 completely to the Lord.

00:25:02.059 --> 00:25:03.480
 So in that sense

00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:04.240
 it served

00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:05.240
 to represent

00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:06.059
 God's people

00:25:06.059 --> 00:25:06.879
 being wholly

00:25:06.879 --> 00:25:08.039
 consecrated to the Lord.

00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:09.460
 Belonging to Him

00:25:09.460 --> 00:25:10.539
 and not to another.

00:25:10.740 --> 00:25:11.419
 Wholly to Him.

00:25:13.139 --> 00:25:14.039
 The peace offering

00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:14.779
 was a little different.

00:25:14.879 --> 00:25:15.500
 The peace offering

00:25:15.500 --> 00:25:17.359
 the blood was poured out

00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:18.359
 the sprinkle on the altar

00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:19.679
 and then some of the organ

00:25:19.679 --> 00:25:20.659
 and the fat

00:25:20.659 --> 00:25:21.319
 of the animal

00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:22.359
 were burned up

00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:23.659
 as sacrifice to God.

00:25:23.659 --> 00:25:25.200
 But the rest of the meat

00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:26.059
 was eaten

00:25:26.059 --> 00:25:27.720
 by the priests

00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:29.079
 and by the worshippers

00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:30.299
 who brought the sacrifice.

00:25:30.299 --> 00:25:31.839
 It was a meal

00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:33.339
 with God

00:25:33.339 --> 00:25:34.919
 that celebrated

00:25:34.919 --> 00:25:35.559
 their covenant

00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:36.579
 fellowship with Him.

00:25:38.139 --> 00:25:39.039
 But the blood

00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:39.559
 of the animal

00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:40.639
 was never to be consumed

00:25:40.639 --> 00:25:41.960
 for as the Lord says

00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:43.119
 in Leviticus 17.11

00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:45.079
 the life of the flesh

00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:46.099
 is in the blood

00:25:46.099 --> 00:25:47.839
 and I've given it for you

00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:48.619
 on the altar

00:25:48.619 --> 00:25:49.899
 to make atonement

00:25:49.899 --> 00:25:50.759
 for your souls.

00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:52.119
 For it is the blood

00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:53.319
 that makes atonement

00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:54.639
 by the life.

00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:55.700
 That's why

00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:56.319
 in verse 6

00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:57.139
 Moses throws

00:25:57.139 --> 00:25:58.139
 half the blood

00:25:58.140 --> 00:26:00.140
 onto the altar itself

00:26:00.140 --> 00:26:01.080
 to consecrate it

00:26:01.080 --> 00:26:01.700
 for its use

00:26:01.700 --> 00:26:02.860
 in worship and sacrifice

00:26:02.860 --> 00:26:03.900
 and then he takes

00:26:03.900 --> 00:26:04.620
 the other half

00:26:04.620 --> 00:26:06.440
 and then he throws it

00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:07.640
 on the people.

00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:10.040
 Similar to the way

00:26:10.040 --> 00:26:10.840
 blood is placed

00:26:10.840 --> 00:26:11.300
 on Aaron

00:26:11.300 --> 00:26:12.440
 and on his sons

00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:13.580
 in Leviticus 8

00:26:13.580 --> 00:26:14.180
 when they are being

00:26:14.180 --> 00:26:15.300
 ordained to the priesthood

00:26:15.300 --> 00:26:17.840
 Moses sprinkles

00:26:17.840 --> 00:26:18.300
 the blood

00:26:18.300 --> 00:26:19.460
 on the people of God

00:26:19.460 --> 00:26:20.480
 to atone

00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:21.759
 for their sin

00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:23.280
 to consecrate them

00:26:23.280 --> 00:26:23.680
 to God

00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:24.259
 and then he says

00:26:24.259 --> 00:26:24.640
 to them

00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:26.200
 behold the blood

00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:26.880
 of the covenant

00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:27.980
 that the Lord

00:26:27.980 --> 00:26:29.039
 has made with you

00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:29.620
 in accordance

00:26:29.620 --> 00:26:31.720
 with all these words.

00:26:34.019 --> 00:26:34.940
 We are

00:26:34.940 --> 00:26:35.740
 as human beings

00:26:35.740 --> 00:26:36.180
 sinful

00:26:36.180 --> 00:26:38.559
 and for that reason

00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:39.779
 we cannot dare

00:26:39.779 --> 00:26:40.819
 to approach

00:26:40.819 --> 00:26:42.000
 the holy God

00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:43.740
 the consuming fire

00:26:43.740 --> 00:26:45.279
 without making

00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:46.220
 atonement for sin.

00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:48.539
 We all fall short

00:26:48.539 --> 00:26:49.500
 of the glory of God

00:26:49.500 --> 00:26:50.259
 instead of living

00:26:50.259 --> 00:26:50.840
 for him

00:26:50.840 --> 00:26:51.980
 our creator

00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:52.539
 we have lived

00:26:52.539 --> 00:26:53.259
 for ourselves

00:26:53.259 --> 00:26:54.559
 which is an act

00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:55.099
 of treason

00:26:55.099 --> 00:26:56.619
 prideful rebellion

00:26:56.619 --> 00:26:57.200
 against God

00:26:57.200 --> 00:26:58.200
 our very presence

00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:00.119
 is contaminating

00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:01.460
 and repulsive

00:27:01.460 --> 00:27:03.139
 to a holy God

00:27:03.139 --> 00:27:06.440
 and because

00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:07.259
 the penalty

00:27:07.259 --> 00:27:07.839
 for sin

00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:08.460
 is death

00:27:08.460 --> 00:27:10.460
 the price

00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:11.299
 for atonement

00:27:11.299 --> 00:27:12.460
 is life

00:27:12.460 --> 00:27:15.679
 atonement

00:27:15.679 --> 00:27:16.779
 requires

00:27:16.779 --> 00:27:17.759
 bloodshed

00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:19.339
 recalling

00:27:19.339 --> 00:27:19.879
 this blood

00:27:19.879 --> 00:27:20.460
 of the covenant

00:27:20.460 --> 00:27:21.460
 in Hebrews 9

00:27:21.460 --> 00:27:22.339
 19 to 22

00:27:22.339 --> 00:27:23.240
 the author says this

00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:24.440
 for when every

00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:25.539
 commandment of the law

00:27:25.539 --> 00:27:26.240
 had been declared

00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:26.779
 by Moses

00:27:26.779 --> 00:27:27.759
 to all the people

00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:29.039
 he took the blood

00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:29.880
 of calves and goats

00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:30.400
 with water

00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:31.180
 and scarlet wool

00:27:31.180 --> 00:27:31.640
 and hyssop

00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:32.400
 and sprinkled

00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:33.400
 both the book itself

00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:34.180
 and all the people

00:27:34.180 --> 00:27:34.599
 saying

00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:36.400
 this is the blood

00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:36.980
 of the covenant

00:27:36.980 --> 00:27:37.859
 that God commanded

00:27:37.859 --> 00:27:38.339
 for you

00:27:38.339 --> 00:27:39.859
 and in the same way

00:27:39.859 --> 00:27:40.440
 he sprinkled

00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:41.019
 with the blood

00:27:41.019 --> 00:27:41.759
 both the tent

00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:42.539
 and all the vessels

00:27:42.539 --> 00:27:43.319
 used in worship

00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:45.000
 indeed under the law

00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:45.920
 almost everything

00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:47.160
 is purified with blood

00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:48.559
 and without the shedding

00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:49.079
 of blood

00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:50.339
 there is no

00:27:50.339 --> 00:27:51.839
 forgiveness of sins

00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:54.480
 but of course

00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:55.579
 a mere animal

00:27:55.579 --> 00:27:56.779
 can make no atonement

00:27:56.779 --> 00:27:58.119
 for the sins of man

00:27:58.119 --> 00:27:59.599
 these sacrifices

00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:00.779
 in the Old Testament

00:28:00.779 --> 00:28:02.039
 were but a shadow

00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:03.399
 that pointed

00:28:03.399 --> 00:28:04.179
 to the reality

00:28:04.179 --> 00:28:04.720
 of Jesus'

00:28:04.959 --> 00:28:06.039
 ultimate atoning

00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:06.779
 sacrifice

00:28:06.779 --> 00:28:08.000
 on the cross

00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:09.759
 when he establishes

00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:10.500
 the new covenant

00:28:10.500 --> 00:28:11.199
 with his people

00:28:11.199 --> 00:28:13.199
 and that same passage

00:28:13.199 --> 00:28:13.599
 in Hebrew

00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:14.159
 that I read

00:28:14.159 --> 00:28:15.240
 also says this

00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:16.059
 for if the blood

00:28:16.059 --> 00:28:17.559
 of goats and bulls

00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:18.259
 and the sprinkling

00:28:18.259 --> 00:28:19.399
 of defiled persons

00:28:19.399 --> 00:28:20.000
 with the ashes

00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:20.659
 of a heifer

00:28:20.660 --> 00:28:22.360
 sanctified for the purification

00:28:22.360 --> 00:28:23.000
 of the flesh

00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:24.880
 how much more

00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:26.060
 will the blood of Christ

00:28:26.060 --> 00:28:27.960
 who through the eternal spirit

00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:28.800
 offered himself

00:28:28.800 --> 00:28:30.100
 without blemish to God

00:28:30.100 --> 00:28:31.779
 purify our conscience

00:28:31.779 --> 00:28:32.600
 from dead works

00:28:32.600 --> 00:28:34.840
 to serve the living God

00:28:34.840 --> 00:28:37.860
 the blood of Christ

00:28:37.860 --> 00:28:39.700
 is so effective

00:28:39.700 --> 00:28:41.400
 that he can purify

00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:42.460
 our consciences

00:28:42.460 --> 00:28:44.380
 give us a clear conscience

00:28:44.380 --> 00:28:44.880
 knowing

00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:46.019
 that our sins

00:28:46.019 --> 00:28:47.000
 have been atoned for

00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:47.860
 that we really

00:28:47.860 --> 00:28:49.100
 have been cleansed

00:28:49.099 --> 00:28:51.480
 most of us

00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:52.539
 have sinned

00:28:52.539 --> 00:28:53.579
 and done wrong

00:28:53.579 --> 00:28:54.799
 in ways that we are

00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:56.480
 ashamed to admit

00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:59.959
 sins that you committed

00:28:59.959 --> 00:29:00.819
 after peeking

00:29:00.819 --> 00:29:01.919
 over your shoulders

00:29:01.919 --> 00:29:02.480
 to make sure

00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:03.539
 no one is watching

00:29:03.539 --> 00:29:07.779
 sins that you

00:29:07.779 --> 00:29:10.000
 lower your voice

00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:11.679
 to share

00:29:11.679 --> 00:29:12.399
 during confession

00:29:12.399 --> 00:29:12.799
 because

00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:14.219
 you don't want anyone

00:29:14.219 --> 00:29:15.399
 to overhear it

00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:19.100
 sins that make you feel

00:29:19.100 --> 00:29:19.700
 like people

00:29:19.700 --> 00:29:20.380
 would never

00:29:20.380 --> 00:29:21.600
 look at you

00:29:21.600 --> 00:29:22.900
 the same way

00:29:22.900 --> 00:29:25.620
 if only they knew

00:29:25.620 --> 00:29:30.480
 if that's the case

00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:32.100
 with sinful humans

00:29:32.100 --> 00:29:34.380
 how can we ever

00:29:34.380 --> 00:29:35.480
 lift our heads

00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:36.660
 in the presence of God

00:29:36.660 --> 00:29:38.960
 who is unimpeachable

00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:39.440
 in his holiness

00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:43.160
 how can we ever

00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:44.700
 look at the face

00:29:44.700 --> 00:29:45.880
 of the holy God

00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:47.220
 what would he

00:29:47.220 --> 00:29:48.519
 think of our sins

00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:51.420
 but God does

00:29:51.420 --> 00:29:52.480
 know all

00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:53.539
 of our sins

00:29:53.539 --> 00:29:55.220
 and he has

00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:56.080
 made a way

00:29:56.080 --> 00:29:57.240
 for our cleansing

00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:58.460
 by sending

00:29:58.460 --> 00:29:59.640
 Jesus Christ

00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:00.080
 his son

00:30:00.080 --> 00:30:00.920
 as our substitute

00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:02.480
 to die the death

00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:03.440
 that we deserved

00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:04.220
 on the cross

00:30:04.220 --> 00:30:04.900
 and to be raised

00:30:04.900 --> 00:30:05.840
 to life again

00:30:05.840 --> 00:30:08.000
 as the lyrics

00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:08.500
 to the song

00:30:08.500 --> 00:30:09.200
 amazing love

00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:09.539
 puts it

00:30:09.539 --> 00:30:10.279
 I'm forgiven

00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:11.460
 because you

00:30:11.460 --> 00:30:12.500
 were forsaken

00:30:12.500 --> 00:30:14.099
 I'm accepted

00:30:14.099 --> 00:30:15.740
 you were condemned

00:30:15.740 --> 00:30:17.059
 I'm alive

00:30:17.059 --> 00:30:17.960
 and well

00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:18.799
 your spirit

00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:19.599
 is within me

00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:20.460
 because you

00:30:20.460 --> 00:30:21.220
 died

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:22.539
 and rose

00:30:22.539 --> 00:30:23.259
 again

00:30:23.259 --> 00:30:25.440
 this is the power

00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:26.059
 of the gospel

00:30:26.059 --> 00:30:26.839
 that when we

00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:27.740
 renounce our sins

00:30:27.740 --> 00:30:28.420
 and bring them

00:30:28.420 --> 00:30:29.279
 to God

00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:30.500
 in the light of God

00:30:30.500 --> 00:30:31.960
 the blood of Jesus

00:30:31.960 --> 00:30:33.519
 God's son

00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:35.079
 cleanses us

00:30:35.079 --> 00:30:36.359
 from all

00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:37.079
 sin

00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:41.599
 the blood

00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:42.159
 of Jesus

00:30:42.159 --> 00:30:42.939
 really

00:30:42.939 --> 00:30:44.039
 cleanses us

00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:44.939
 of our sins

00:30:44.939 --> 00:30:45.339
 the blood

00:30:45.339 --> 00:30:45.779
 of Jesus

00:30:45.779 --> 00:30:46.659
 really covers

00:30:46.659 --> 00:30:48.039
 our shame

00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:49.500
 the blood

00:30:49.500 --> 00:30:50.000
 of Jesus

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:50.819
 really

00:30:50.819 --> 00:30:51.759
 consecrates

00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:52.019
 us

00:30:52.019 --> 00:30:52.480
 sets us

00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:52.919
 apart

00:30:52.919 --> 00:30:53.659
 so that

00:30:53.659 --> 00:30:54.379
 we might

00:30:54.379 --> 00:30:54.859
 have

00:30:54.859 --> 00:30:55.740
 fellowship

00:30:55.740 --> 00:30:56.379
 with God

00:30:56.379 --> 00:31:00.419
 so that

00:31:00.419 --> 00:31:00.679
 we can

00:31:00.679 --> 00:31:01.299
 draw near

00:31:01.299 --> 00:31:01.659
 to his

00:31:01.659 --> 00:31:01.919
 throne

00:31:01.919 --> 00:31:04.460
 so that

00:31:04.460 --> 00:31:04.720
 we can

00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:05.259
 look upon

00:31:05.259 --> 00:31:06.019
 his glorious

00:31:06.019 --> 00:31:06.740
 and gracious

00:31:06.740 --> 00:31:07.420
 face

00:31:07.420 --> 00:31:08.000
 that's what

00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:09.400
 this

00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:10.079
 consecrating

00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:11.059
 does

00:31:11.059 --> 00:31:15.259
 and we

00:31:15.259 --> 00:31:16.639
 continue to

00:31:16.639 --> 00:31:17.220
 progress here

00:31:17.220 --> 00:31:18.240
 in the mountain

00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:19.259
 after consecrating

00:31:19.259 --> 00:31:19.859
 to the Lord

00:31:19.859 --> 00:31:21.259
 Moses and Aaron

00:31:21.259 --> 00:31:21.619
 and Nadab

00:31:21.619 --> 00:31:21.980
 and Abihu

00:31:21.980 --> 00:31:22.500
 and the 70

00:31:22.500 --> 00:31:22.879
 elders

00:31:22.879 --> 00:31:23.420
 get to

00:31:23.420 --> 00:31:24.019
 behold

00:31:24.019 --> 00:31:24.539
 the Lord

00:31:24.539 --> 00:31:27.099
 it's an

00:31:27.099 --> 00:31:27.519
 amazing

00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:27.940
 verse

00:31:27.940 --> 00:31:28.240
 it says

00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:28.639
 in verse

00:31:28.639 --> 00:31:29.039
 90

00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:29.339
 11

00:31:29.339 --> 00:31:30.180
 that

00:31:30.180 --> 00:31:30.539
 Moses

00:31:30.539 --> 00:31:31.000
 and Aaron

00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:31.359
 and Nadab

00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:31.779
 and Abihu

00:31:31.779 --> 00:31:32.279
 and 70

00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:32.759
 of the elders

00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:33.119
 of Israel

00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:33.639
 went up

00:31:33.639 --> 00:31:34.139
 and they

00:31:34.139 --> 00:31:35.039
 saw

00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:36.339
 the God

00:31:36.339 --> 00:31:37.259
 of Israel

00:31:37.259 --> 00:31:39.500
 there was

00:31:39.500 --> 00:31:40.240
 under his

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:40.680
 feet

00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:41.420
 as it were

00:31:41.420 --> 00:31:42.339
 a pavement

00:31:42.339 --> 00:31:43.259
 of sapphire

00:31:43.259 --> 00:31:43.700
 stone

00:31:43.700 --> 00:31:44.740
 like the very

00:31:44.740 --> 00:31:45.339
 heaven for

00:31:45.339 --> 00:31:45.799
 clearness

00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:47.440
 and he did

00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:48.139
 not lay his

00:31:48.139 --> 00:31:48.720
 hand on the

00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:49.299
 chief men

00:31:49.299 --> 00:31:49.920
 of the people

00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:50.420
 of Israel

00:31:50.420 --> 00:31:52.060
 they beheld

00:31:52.060 --> 00:31:52.620
 God

00:31:52.620 --> 00:31:53.560
 and ate

00:31:53.560 --> 00:31:54.820
 and drank

00:31:54.820 --> 00:31:59.380
 they got

00:31:59.380 --> 00:32:00.140
 to see

00:32:00.140 --> 00:32:00.880
 God

00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:01.279
 he says

00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:01.580
 that they

00:32:01.580 --> 00:32:02.340
 beheld

00:32:02.340 --> 00:32:02.860
 God

00:32:02.860 --> 00:32:03.440
 and ate

00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:04.620
 and drank

00:32:04.620 --> 00:32:05.800
 they are

00:32:05.800 --> 00:32:06.160
 sharing

00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:06.700
 the peace

00:32:06.700 --> 00:32:07.140
 offering

00:32:07.140 --> 00:32:07.539
 that they

00:32:07.539 --> 00:32:07.759
 had

00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:08.220
 offered

00:32:08.220 --> 00:32:08.600
 to God

00:32:08.600 --> 00:32:09.080
 sacrificed

00:32:09.080 --> 00:32:09.620
 to God

00:32:09.620 --> 00:32:10.300
 with him

00:32:10.300 --> 00:32:11.400
 eating

00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:11.960
 with him

00:32:11.960 --> 00:32:13.039
 and doing

00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:13.440
 table

00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:13.840
 fellowship

00:32:13.840 --> 00:32:14.279
 with him

00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:15.039
 this is

00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:15.580
 significant

00:32:15.580 --> 00:32:16.580
 I mean

00:32:16.580 --> 00:32:17.200
 even today

00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:17.640
 in our

00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:18.960
 modern world

00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:19.340
 where this

00:32:19.340 --> 00:32:20.140
 is far

00:32:20.140 --> 00:32:20.980
 less

00:32:20.980 --> 00:32:21.620
 significant

00:32:21.620 --> 00:32:22.160
 or emphasized

00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:23.259
 when you

00:32:23.259 --> 00:32:23.960
 have someone

00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:24.500
 over to your

00:32:24.500 --> 00:32:25.100
 house for a

00:32:25.100 --> 00:32:25.340
 meal

00:32:25.340 --> 00:32:27.400
 it signifies

00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:28.060
 a progression

00:32:28.060 --> 00:32:28.380
 in your

00:32:28.380 --> 00:32:28.880
 relationship

00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:29.940
 you've gone

00:32:29.940 --> 00:32:30.920
 beyond just

00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:32.320
 acquaintance

00:32:32.320 --> 00:32:34.020
 to acceptance

00:32:34.020 --> 00:32:35.280
 to friendship

00:32:35.280 --> 00:32:36.240
 even being

00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:36.820
 invited to be

00:32:36.820 --> 00:32:37.220
 a part

00:32:37.220 --> 00:32:38.259
 at least for

00:32:38.259 --> 00:32:38.700
 that time

00:32:38.700 --> 00:32:39.220
 to belong

00:32:39.220 --> 00:32:39.560
 to your

00:32:39.560 --> 00:32:40.100
 family

00:32:40.100 --> 00:32:42.180
 and that's

00:32:42.180 --> 00:32:42.420
 what

00:32:42.420 --> 00:32:43.160
 table

00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:43.540
 fellowship

00:32:43.540 --> 00:32:43.820
 in the

00:32:43.820 --> 00:32:44.060
 ancient

00:32:44.060 --> 00:32:44.560
 near east

00:32:44.560 --> 00:32:45.160
 represented

00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:45.700
 it means

00:32:45.700 --> 00:32:46.140
 you get

00:32:46.140 --> 00:32:46.840
 to belong

00:32:46.840 --> 00:32:47.180
 to the

00:32:47.180 --> 00:32:47.380
 same

00:32:47.380 --> 00:32:47.780
 family

00:32:47.780 --> 00:32:48.000
 you get

00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:49.040
 to share

00:32:49.040 --> 00:32:49.740
 life

00:32:49.740 --> 00:32:50.700
 together

00:32:50.700 --> 00:32:51.359
 when you

00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:51.799
 break

00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:52.279
 bread

00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:52.900
 together

00:32:52.900 --> 00:32:53.279
 when you

00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:53.720
 eat

00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:54.660
 together

00:32:54.660 --> 00:32:56.200
 so when

00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:56.900
 we speak

00:32:56.900 --> 00:32:57.420
 of here

00:32:57.420 --> 00:32:57.960
 these men

00:32:57.960 --> 00:32:58.259
 eating

00:32:58.259 --> 00:32:58.740
 with God

00:32:58.740 --> 00:32:59.359
 don't picture

00:32:59.359 --> 00:32:59.579
 in your

00:32:59.579 --> 00:32:59.819
 mind

00:32:59.819 --> 00:33:00.200
 going to

00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:00.700
 a restaurant

00:33:00.700 --> 00:33:01.380
 and everybody

00:33:01.380 --> 00:33:02.039
 ordering his

00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:02.339

00:33:02.339 --> 00:33:03.039
 separate dish

00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:03.420
 and then you're

00:33:03.420 --> 00:33:03.740
 just kind of

00:33:03.740 --> 00:33:04.279
 eating next

00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:04.579
 to each

00:33:04.579 --> 00:33:04.819
 other

00:33:04.819 --> 00:33:05.940
 imagine

00:33:05.940 --> 00:33:06.900
 inviting

00:33:06.900 --> 00:33:07.160
 someone

00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:07.480
 into your

00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:07.819
 home

00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:09.279
 style meal

00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:10.599
 where you're

00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:11.299
 dipping into

00:33:11.299 --> 00:33:11.700
 the same

00:33:11.700 --> 00:33:12.160
 sauces

00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:13.519
 cutting meat

00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:13.940
 off of the

00:33:13.940 --> 00:33:14.319
 same

00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:15.460
 meat plate

00:33:15.460 --> 00:33:17.299
 and eating

00:33:17.299 --> 00:33:17.799
 together

00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:18.740
 and conversing

00:33:18.740 --> 00:33:19.480
 with one

00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:19.840
 another

00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:23.360

00:33:23.360 --> 00:33:23.600
 and the

00:33:23.600 --> 00:33:24.600
 elders

00:33:24.600 --> 00:33:25.279
 got to do

00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:25.720
 that with

00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:26.160
 God

00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:30.019
 imagine

00:33:30.019 --> 00:33:31.319
 that with

00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:31.860
 me for a

00:33:31.860 --> 00:33:32.100
 minute

00:33:32.100 --> 00:33:33.940
 many of you

00:33:33.940 --> 00:33:34.579
 will share

00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:38.799
 throughout

00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:39.299
 the week

00:33:39.299 --> 00:33:40.360
 but imagine

00:33:40.360 --> 00:33:41.100
 if you could

00:33:41.100 --> 00:33:41.640
 invite

 for dinner

00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:48.980
 after church

00:33:48.980 --> 00:33:49.299
 today

00:33:49.299 --> 00:33:55.000
 what I would

00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:55.539
 prepare for

00:33:55.539 --> 00:33:55.740
 him

00:33:55.740 --> 00:33:59.079
 what I would

00:33:59.079 --> 00:33:59.419
 give to

00:33:59.419 --> 00:34:00.039
 just sit

00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:00.399
 there

00:34:00.399 --> 00:34:03.799
 listen to

00:34:03.799 --> 00:34:04.059
 him

00:34:04.059 --> 00:34:07.939
 it's almost

00:34:07.939 --> 00:34:08.480
 too much

00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:09.199
 overwhelming

00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:09.739
 just to

00:34:09.739 --> 00:34:10.259
 imagine

00:34:10.259 --> 00:34:11.139
 eating with

00:34:11.139 --> 00:34:11.480
 him

00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:12.539
 speaking

00:34:12.539 --> 00:34:13.119
 to him

00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:16.179
 but in

00:34:16.179 --> 00:34:16.539
 fact

00:34:16.539 --> 00:34:18.240
 that is

00:34:18.240 --> 00:34:18.539
 what we

00:34:18.539 --> 00:34:18.820
 get to

00:34:18.820 --> 00:34:19.159
 do

00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:20.500
 as a

00:34:20.500 --> 00:34:20.719
 people

00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:21.119
 of God

00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:22.920
 there's a

00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:23.480
 reason why

00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:24.099
 the Lord's

00:34:24.099 --> 00:34:24.320
 supper

00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:25.480
 is called

00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:27.059
 the Lord's

00:34:27.059 --> 00:34:27.500
 supper

00:34:27.500 --> 00:34:29.240
 it is the

00:34:29.240 --> 00:34:30.119
 Lord's

00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:30.480
 meal

00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:31.920
 the Lord

00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:32.380
 is the

00:34:32.380 --> 00:34:32.760
 host

00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:33.719
 presiding

00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:34.639
 over the

00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:34.900
 meal

00:34:34.900 --> 00:34:37.639
 Jesus

00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:38.420
 offered his

00:34:38.420 --> 00:34:39.000
 own body

00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:40.039
 as the

00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:40.260
 peace

00:34:40.260 --> 00:34:40.639
 offering

00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:41.339
 to

00:34:41.339 --> 00:34:42.779
 reconcile

00:34:42.779 --> 00:34:43.599
 us

00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:44.039
 sinful

00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:44.440
 people

00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:44.799
 to

00:34:44.799 --> 00:34:45.199
 God

00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:45.579
 the

00:34:45.579 --> 00:34:45.980
 father

00:34:45.980 --> 00:34:46.759
 and

00:34:46.759 --> 00:34:46.900
 he

00:34:46.900 --> 00:34:47.259
 offers

00:34:47.259 --> 00:34:47.759
 himself

00:34:47.759 --> 00:34:48.219
 for

00:34:48.219 --> 00:34:48.420
 our

00:34:48.420 --> 00:34:48.799
 spiritual

00:34:48.799 --> 00:34:49.299
 nourishment

00:34:49.299 --> 00:34:49.539
 his

00:34:49.539 --> 00:34:49.940
 body

00:34:49.940 --> 00:34:50.339
 broken

00:34:50.339 --> 00:34:50.900
 for us

00:34:50.900 --> 00:34:51.699
 like bread

00:34:51.699 --> 00:34:52.039
 his

00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:52.639
 blood

00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:53.079
 poured

00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:53.359
 out

00:34:53.359 --> 00:34:53.879
 for us

00:34:53.879 --> 00:34:54.559
 like

00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:55.099
 wine

00:34:55.099 --> 00:34:55.980
 so that

00:34:55.980 --> 00:34:56.199
 we

00:34:56.199 --> 00:34:56.579
 can

00:34:56.579 --> 00:34:57.400
 enjoy

00:34:57.400 --> 00:34:58.139
 eternal

00:34:58.139 --> 00:34:58.980
 fellowship

00:34:58.980 --> 00:34:59.420
 with

00:34:59.420 --> 00:34:59.819
 God

00:34:59.820 --> 00:35:00.320
 God

00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:01.539
 this

00:35:01.539 --> 00:35:01.900
 is not

00:35:01.900 --> 00:35:02.059
 an

00:35:02.059 --> 00:35:02.420
 empty

00:35:02.420 --> 00:35:02.860
 ritual

00:35:02.860 --> 00:35:03.059
 we

00:35:03.059 --> 00:35:03.440
 come

00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:03.660
 to

00:35:03.660 --> 00:35:03.900
 it

00:35:03.900 --> 00:35:04.240
 and

00:35:04.240 --> 00:35:04.820
 experience

00:35:04.820 --> 00:35:05.220
 it

00:35:05.220 --> 00:35:05.780
 as a

00:35:05.780 --> 00:35:06.580
 foretaste

00:35:06.580 --> 00:35:07.200
 of the

00:35:07.200 --> 00:35:07.680
 eternal

00:35:07.680 --> 00:35:08.320
 fellowship

00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:09.000
 we have

00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:10.019
 with God

00:35:10.019 --> 00:35:10.580
 and we

00:35:10.580 --> 00:35:11.120
 dine

00:35:11.120 --> 00:35:12.160
 with him

00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:16.759
 that's

00:35:16.759 --> 00:35:16.879
 why

00:35:16.879 --> 00:35:17.259
 Jesus

00:35:17.259 --> 00:35:17.779
 in his

00:35:17.779 --> 00:35:18.159
 parables

00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:18.619
 often

00:35:18.619 --> 00:35:19.199
 uses

00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:19.819
 the

00:35:19.819 --> 00:35:20.159
 metaphor

00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:20.579
 of

00:35:20.579 --> 00:35:21.179
 the

00:35:21.179 --> 00:35:21.739
 banquet

00:35:21.739 --> 00:35:22.199
 referred

00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:22.379
 to

00:35:22.379 --> 00:35:22.519
 the

00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:22.719
 kingdom

00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:22.940
 of

00:35:22.940 --> 00:35:23.239
 God

00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:24.480
 in

00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:24.639
 Luke

00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:25.199
 14

00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:25.399
 for

00:35:25.399 --> 00:35:25.699
 example

00:35:25.699 --> 00:35:27.420
 in

00:35:27.420 --> 00:35:27.859
 Revelation

00:35:27.859 --> 00:35:28.379
 99

00:35:28.379 --> 00:35:29.019
 teaches

00:35:29.019 --> 00:35:29.239
 us

00:35:29.239 --> 00:35:29.399
 that

00:35:29.399 --> 00:35:29.699
 all

00:35:29.699 --> 00:35:30.199
 Christians

00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:30.799
 should

00:35:30.799 --> 00:35:30.980
 look

00:35:30.980 --> 00:35:31.299
 forward

00:35:31.299 --> 00:35:31.480
 to

00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:31.619
 the

00:35:31.619 --> 00:35:32.299
 marriage

00:35:32.299 --> 00:35:32.899
 supper

00:35:32.899 --> 00:35:33.539
 of

00:35:33.539 --> 00:35:33.719
 the

00:35:33.719 --> 00:35:34.159
 lamb

00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:34.739
 of

00:35:34.739 --> 00:35:35.179
 God

00:35:35.179 --> 00:35:39.480
 the

00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:40.000
 elders

00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:40.480
 and

00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:40.779
 Moses

00:35:40.779 --> 00:35:41.119
 Aaron

00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:41.399
 their

00:35:41.399 --> 00:35:42.039
 meal

00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:42.639
 with

00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:42.940
 God

00:35:42.940 --> 00:35:43.219
 here

00:35:43.219 --> 00:35:43.579
 is

00:35:43.579 --> 00:35:45.000
 foreshadowing

00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:45.319
 that

00:35:45.319 --> 00:35:45.960
 eternal

00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:46.879
 heavenly

00:35:46.879 --> 00:35:47.759
 banquet

00:35:47.759 --> 00:35:48.279
 we're

00:35:48.279 --> 00:35:48.539
 gonna

00:35:48.539 --> 00:35:48.839
 get

00:35:48.839 --> 00:35:49.019
 to

00:35:49.019 --> 00:35:49.559
 feast

00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:49.819
 with

00:35:49.819 --> 00:35:50.259
 God

00:35:50.259 --> 00:35:51.000
 forever

00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:53.399
 and

00:35:53.399 --> 00:35:53.579
 the

00:35:53.579 --> 00:35:53.960
 Lord's

00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:54.159
 supper

00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:54.359
 which

00:35:54.359 --> 00:35:54.519
 we

00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:54.879
 celebrate

00:35:54.879 --> 00:35:55.299
 every

00:35:55.299 --> 00:35:55.739
 week

00:35:55.739 --> 00:35:56.279
 he

00:35:56.279 --> 00:35:56.399
 is

00:35:56.399 --> 00:35:56.599
 an

00:35:56.599 --> 00:35:57.019
 earthly

00:35:57.019 --> 00:35:57.779
 foretaste

00:35:57.779 --> 00:35:58.440
 of

00:35:58.440 --> 00:35:58.559
 the

00:35:58.559 --> 00:35:58.819
 heavenly

00:35:58.819 --> 00:35:59.359
 reality

00:35:59.359 --> 00:36:03.159
 Moses

00:36:03.159 --> 00:36:03.419
 and

00:36:03.419 --> 00:36:03.719
 Aaron

00:36:03.719 --> 00:36:03.940
 and

00:36:04.379 --> 00:36:04.679
 Abihu

00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:04.839
 and

00:36:04.839 --> 00:36:04.940
 the

00:36:04.940 --> 00:36:05.200
 70

00:36:05.200 --> 00:36:05.619
 elders

00:36:05.619 --> 00:36:05.960
 got

00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:06.099
 to

00:36:06.099 --> 00:36:06.440
 enjoy

00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:06.740
 this

00:36:06.740 --> 00:36:07.480
 unspeakable

00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:07.900
 privilege

00:36:07.900 --> 00:36:08.159
 but

00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:08.320
 they

00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:08.619
 didn't

00:36:08.619 --> 00:36:08.760
 get

00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:08.940
 to

00:36:08.940 --> 00:36:09.280
 behold

00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:09.740
 God

00:36:09.740 --> 00:36:09.920
 in

00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:10.079
 his

00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:10.480
 fullness

00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:11.880
 because

00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:12.099
 that

00:36:12.099 --> 00:36:12.400
 time

00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:12.599
 has

00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:12.760
 not

00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:12.940
 yet

00:36:12.940 --> 00:36:13.320
 come

00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:14.840
 though

00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:14.980
 it

00:36:14.980 --> 00:36:15.220
 says

00:36:15.220 --> 00:36:15.400
 that

00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:15.599
 they

00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:16.000
 saw

00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:16.179
 the

00:36:16.179 --> 00:36:16.360
 God

00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:16.480
 of

00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:16.840
 Israel

00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:18.039
 when

00:36:18.039 --> 00:36:18.400
 Moses

00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:18.720
 actually

00:36:18.720 --> 00:36:19.159
 starts

00:36:19.159 --> 00:36:20.039
 describing

00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:21.099
 exactly

00:36:21.099 --> 00:36:21.400
 what

00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:21.519
 he

00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:21.960
 saw

00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:23.360
 he

00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:23.720
 starts

00:36:23.720 --> 00:36:24.340
 describing

00:36:24.340 --> 00:36:24.579
 what

00:36:52.179 --> 00:36:52.460
 verses

00:36:52.460 --> 00:36:52.879

00:36:52.879 --> 00:36:53.480
 contradictory

00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:53.859
 Moses

00:36:53.859 --> 00:36:54.139
 really

00:36:54.139 --> 00:36:54.480
 did

00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:54.819
 see

00:36:54.819 --> 00:36:55.079
 God

00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:55.219

 some

00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:55.759
 sense

00:36:55.759 --> 00:36:55.899
 but

00:36:55.899 --> 00:36:55.980
 he

00:36:55.980 --> 00:36:56.079
 did

 not

00:36:56.239 --> 00:36:56.539
 see

00:36:56.539 --> 00:36:56.980
 God's

00:36:56.980 --> 00:36:57.420
 fullness

00:36:57.420 --> 00:36:57.579
 he

00:36:57.579 --> 00:36:57.639
 did

00:36:57.639 --> 00:36:57.779
 not

00:36:57.779 --> 00:36:58.059
 see

00:36:58.059 --> 00:36:58.739
 God's

00:36:58.739 --> 00:36:59.239

00:37:03.559 --> 00:37:03.839
 that's

00:37:03.839 --> 00:37:04.819
 anthropomorphism

00:37:04.819 --> 00:37:05.119
 of course

00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:05.779
 giving human

00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:07.799
 understand

00:37:07.799 --> 00:37:07.980
 it

 that's

00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:02.599

00:38:11.380 --> 00:38:11.739
 like

00:38:11.739 --> 00:38:12.259
 that

00:38:12.259 --> 00:38:13.019
 it's

00:38:13.019 --> 00:38:13.279
 like

00:38:13.279 --> 00:38:13.579
 this

00:38:13.579 --> 00:38:13.779
 it's

00:38:13.779 --> 00:38:14.019
 so

00:38:14.019 --> 00:38:14.519
 glorious

00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:15.279
 and

00:38:15.279 --> 00:38:15.719
 beautiful

00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:16.000
 they

00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:16.340
 can't

00:38:16.340 --> 00:38:16.480
 they

00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:16.619
 have

00:38:16.619 --> 00:38:16.820
 no

00:38:16.820 --> 00:38:17.179
 words

00:38:17.179 --> 00:38:17.440
 for

00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:17.739
 it

00:38:17.739 --> 00:38:25.319
 and

00:38:25.319 --> 00:38:25.919
 after

00:38:25.919 --> 00:38:26.219
 that

00:38:26.219 --> 00:38:26.899
 meal

00:38:26.899 --> 00:38:27.479
 Moses

00:38:27.479 --> 00:38:27.819
 gets

00:38:27.819 --> 00:38:27.959
 to

00:38:27.959 --> 00:38:28.239
 ascend

00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:28.459
 even

00:38:28.459 --> 00:38:28.799
 further

00:38:28.799 --> 00:38:30.519
 he

00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:31.519
 appoints

00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:31.859
 Aaron

 stand-in

00:38:33.439 --> 00:38:33.739
 judges

00:38:33.739 --> 00:38:34.419
 to take

00:38:34.419 --> 00:38:34.879
 his place

00:38:34.879 --> 00:38:35.239
 during his

00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:35.659
 absence

00:38:35.659 --> 00:38:36.799
 to decide

00:38:36.799 --> 00:38:37.239
 disputes

00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:37.599
 among the

00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:37.959
 people of

00:38:37.959 --> 00:38:38.139
 God

00:38:38.139 --> 00:38:38.359
 and he

00:38:38.359 --> 00:38:38.759
 goes up

00:38:38.759 --> 00:38:39.259
 further up

00:38:39.259 --> 00:38:39.739
 and further

00:38:39.739 --> 00:38:40.039
 in

00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:41.039
 drawing

00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:41.519
 near to

00:38:41.519 --> 00:38:41.799
 God

00:38:41.799 --> 00:38:42.959
 and there

00:38:42.959 --> 00:38:43.419
 Moses

00:38:43.419 --> 00:38:44.339
 is to

00:38:44.339 --> 00:38:44.639
 receive

00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:45.199
 the tablets

00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:45.639
 of stone

00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:45.940
 with the

00:38:45.940 --> 00:38:46.219
 law

00:38:46.219 --> 00:38:46.539
 and the

00:38:46.539 --> 00:38:46.920
 commandment

00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:47.119
 as it

00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:47.279
 says

00:38:47.279 --> 00:38:47.440
 in

00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:47.639
 verse

00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:48.019
 12

00:38:48.019 --> 00:38:48.239
 we

00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:48.420
 know

00:38:48.420 --> 00:38:48.699
 that

00:38:48.699 --> 00:38:49.259
 according

00:38:49.259 --> 00:38:49.500
 to

00:38:49.500 --> 00:38:49.859
 Deuteronomy

00:38:49.859 --> 00:38:50.079
 4

00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:50.460
 13

00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:50.679
 the

00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:51.039
 tablets

00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:51.539
 contain

00:38:51.539 --> 00:38:51.759
 the

00:38:51.759 --> 00:38:52.019
 Ten

00:38:52.019 --> 00:38:52.619
 Commandments

00:38:52.619 --> 00:38:53.819
 so

00:38:53.819 --> 00:38:54.259
 Moses

00:38:54.259 --> 00:38:54.739
 himself

00:38:54.739 --> 00:38:55.019
 wrote

00:38:55.019 --> 00:38:55.219
 down

00:38:55.219 --> 00:38:55.379
 the

00:38:55.379 --> 00:38:55.599
 book

00:38:55.599 --> 00:38:55.719
 of

00:38:55.719 --> 00:38:55.879
 the

00:38:55.879 --> 00:38:56.199
 covenant

00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:56.500
 which

00:38:56.500 --> 00:38:56.839
 followed

00:38:56.839 --> 00:38:57.000
 the

00:38:57.000 --> 00:38:57.179
 Ten

00:38:57.179 --> 00:38:57.619
 Commandments

00:38:57.619 --> 00:38:58.199
 but

00:38:58.199 --> 00:38:58.480
 it's

00:38:58.480 --> 00:38:58.759
 God

00:38:58.759 --> 00:38:59.400
 himself

00:38:59.400 --> 00:38:59.940
 who

00:38:59.940 --> 00:39:00.940
 inscribes

00:39:00.940 --> 00:39:01.639
 in stone

00:39:01.639 --> 00:39:02.139
 the Ten

00:39:02.139 --> 00:39:02.599
 Commandments

00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:03.000
 for the

00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:03.319
 Israelites

00:39:03.319 --> 00:39:03.900
 to keep

00:39:03.900 --> 00:39:09.079
 when

00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:09.400
 Moses

00:39:09.400 --> 00:39:09.839
 ascends

00:39:09.839 --> 00:39:09.980
 the

00:39:09.980 --> 00:39:10.219
 mountain

00:39:10.219 --> 00:39:10.400
 it

00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:10.539
 says

00:39:10.539 --> 00:39:10.679
 in

00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:10.859
 verses

00:39:10.859 --> 00:39:11.259
 15

00:39:11.259 --> 00:39:11.379
 and

00:39:11.379 --> 00:39:11.699
 17

00:39:11.699 --> 00:39:11.940
 that

00:39:11.940 --> 00:39:12.059
 the

00:39:12.059 --> 00:39:12.579
 cloud

00:39:12.579 --> 00:39:13.179
 covered

00:39:13.179 --> 00:39:13.359
 the

00:39:13.359 --> 00:39:13.759
 mountain

00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:15.920
 wealth

00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:16.199
 on

00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:16.420
 Mount

00:39:16.420 --> 00:39:16.960
 Sinai

00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:17.259
 and

00:39:17.259 --> 00:39:17.440
 the

00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:17.859
 cloud

00:39:17.859 --> 00:39:18.359
 covered

00:39:18.359 --> 00:39:18.579
 it

00:39:18.579 --> 00:39:19.019
 six

00:39:19.019 --> 00:39:19.480
 days

00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:20.199
 and

00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:20.319
 on

00:39:20.319 --> 00:39:20.460
 the

00:39:20.460 --> 00:39:20.739
 seventh

00:39:20.739 --> 00:39:20.940
 day

00:39:20.940 --> 00:39:21.079
 he

00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:21.319
 called

00:39:21.319 --> 00:39:21.500
 to

00:39:21.500 --> 00:39:21.799
 Moses

00:39:21.799 --> 00:39:22.119
 out

00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:22.199
 of

00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:22.319
 the

00:39:22.319 --> 00:39:22.539
 midst

00:39:22.539 --> 00:39:22.639
 of

00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:22.759
 the

00:39:22.759 --> 00:39:23.039
 cloud

00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:23.699
 now

00:39:23.699 --> 00:39:23.819
 the

00:39:23.819 --> 00:39:24.259
 appearance

00:39:24.259 --> 00:39:24.440
 of

00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:24.559
 the

00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:24.839
 glory

00:39:24.839 --> 00:39:24.980
 of

00:39:24.980 --> 00:39:25.079
 the

00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:25.259
 Lord

00:39:25.259 --> 00:39:25.440
 was

00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:25.619
 like

00:39:25.619 --> 00:39:25.739
 a

00:39:25.739 --> 00:39:26.259
 devouring

00:39:26.259 --> 00:39:26.819
 fire

00:39:26.819 --> 00:39:27.019
 on

00:39:27.019 --> 00:39:27.119
 the

00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:27.440
 top

00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:27.579
 of

00:39:27.579 --> 00:39:27.699
 the

00:39:27.699 --> 00:39:27.960
 mountain

00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:28.139
 in

00:39:28.139 --> 00:39:28.299
 the

00:39:28.299 --> 00:39:28.619
 sight

00:39:28.619 --> 00:39:28.920
 of

00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:29.039
 the

00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:29.420
 people

00:39:29.420 --> 00:39:30.179
 of

00:39:30.179 --> 00:39:30.599
 Israel

00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:33.400
 I

00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:33.539
 think

00:39:33.539 --> 00:39:33.859
 most of

00:39:33.859 --> 00:39:34.239
 you guys

00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:34.559
 are

00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:34.920
 aware

00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:35.139
 when

00:39:35.139 --> 00:39:35.359
 God

00:39:35.359 --> 00:39:35.719
 first

00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:36.059
 created

00:39:36.059 --> 00:39:36.239
 the

00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:36.500
 world

00:39:36.500 --> 00:39:36.819
 in

00:39:36.819 --> 00:39:37.139
 Genesis

00:39:37.139 --> 00:39:37.440
 1

00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:37.619
 he

00:39:37.619 --> 00:39:37.960
 created

00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:38.199
 in

00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:38.639
 six

00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:39.099
 days

00:39:39.099 --> 00:39:39.780
 and

00:39:39.780 --> 00:39:39.900
 on

00:39:39.900 --> 00:39:40.099
 the

00:39:40.099 --> 00:39:40.460
 seventh

00:39:40.460 --> 00:39:40.760
 day

00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:41.079
 he

00:39:41.079 --> 00:39:41.659
 rested

00:39:41.659 --> 00:39:42.559
 so

00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:42.780
 this

00:39:42.780 --> 00:39:43.000
 seems

00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:43.139
 to

00:39:43.139 --> 00:39:43.300
 be

00:39:43.300 --> 00:39:43.720
 following

00:39:43.720 --> 00:39:44.019
 that

00:39:44.019 --> 00:39:44.539
 pattern

00:39:44.539 --> 00:39:45.360
 here

00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:45.800
 God

00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:47.400
 displays

00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:47.579
 his

00:39:47.579 --> 00:39:47.840
 glory

00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:48.019
 but

00:39:48.019 --> 00:39:48.179
 does

00:39:48.179 --> 00:39:48.420
 not

00:39:48.420 --> 00:39:49.059
 speak

00:39:49.059 --> 00:39:49.300
 does

00:39:49.300 --> 00:39:49.460
 not

00:39:49.460 --> 00:39:49.740
 reveal

00:39:49.740 --> 00:39:50.039
 himself

00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:50.320
 that

00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:50.579
 way

00:39:50.579 --> 00:39:50.780
 to

00:39:50.780 --> 00:39:51.099
 Moses

00:39:51.099 --> 00:39:51.559
 for

00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:51.940
 six

00:39:51.940 --> 00:39:52.220
 days

00:39:52.220 --> 00:39:52.480
 Moses

00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:52.740
 must

00:39:52.740 --> 00:39:53.159
 wait

00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:53.699
 for

00:39:53.699 --> 00:39:54.139
 six

00:39:54.139 --> 00:39:54.480
 days

00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:54.639
 and

00:39:54.639 --> 00:39:54.780
 it's

00:39:54.780 --> 00:39:54.960
 on

00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:55.179
 the

00:39:55.179 --> 00:39:55.599
 seventh

00:39:55.599 --> 00:39:55.840
 day

00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:56.000
 that

00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:56.220
 God

00:39:56.220 --> 00:39:56.659
 begins

00:39:56.659 --> 00:39:57.280
 to

 he

00:40:05.139 --> 00:40:05.400
 says

00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:05.720
 that

00:40:05.719 --> 00:40:07.699
 he

00:40:07.699 --> 00:40:07.839
 was

00:40:07.839 --> 00:40:08.019
 like

00:40:15.659 --> 00:40:15.779
 says

 the

00:40:18.980 --> 00:40:21.899

00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:30.079

00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:31.139
 and

00:40:31.139 --> 00:40:31.439
 Moses

00:40:31.439 --> 00:40:31.859
 getting

00:40:31.859 --> 00:40:32.559
 a

00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:33.099
 glimpse

00:40:33.099 --> 00:40:34.039
 of

00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:34.299
 that

00:40:34.299 --> 00:40:34.639
 Moses

00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:35.199
 had

00:40:37.139 --> 00:40:37.359
 God

00:40:37.359 --> 00:40:37.519
 for

00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:37.659
 his

00:40:37.659 --> 00:40:37.960

00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:38.059
 in

00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:39.679
 as

00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:39.779
 I

00:40:39.779 --> 00:40:40.039
 mentioned

00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:40.359
 earlier

00:40:40.359 --> 00:40:40.599
 even

00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:40.819

 not

00:40:41.119 --> 00:40:41.259

00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:46.819
 God

00:40:46.819 --> 00:40:47.339
 does

00:41:40.580 --> 00:41:43.240
 Jesus

00:41:43.240 --> 00:41:43.880
 is

00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:44.140
 the

 fulfillment

00:41:44.720 --> 00:41:45.700
 of

00:41:45.700 --> 00:41:46.100
 what

00:41:49.720 --> 00:41:51.000
 and

00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:51.200
 it's

00:41:51.200 --> 00:41:51.460
 when

00:41:51.460 --> 00:41:51.720
 we
