Exodus 19:1-25
On the very day- they came to the desert of Sinai, in the third month after Israelite left Egypt.
God said to Moses in the mountain:"You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagle's wings and brought you to myself. Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priest and a holy nation. There are the words you are to speak to the Israelite"
The people all responded together, "we will do everything the Load has said"
The Load said to Moses, "I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always put their trust in you."
people of Israel have to consecrate them today and tomorrow, and wash their clothes and ready by the third day. Abstain from sexual relations.
Load came to Sinai mountain in the sight of all the people, no one can go up to the mountain or touch the foot of it. Whether man or animal , he shall not be permitted ti love.
On the morning of third day there was thunder and lighting, with cloud over mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the cap trembled.
The priest do not existed before Sinai.
Why?
The Load let people of Israelite hear God speaking when God talk to Moses, then people of Israel may trust in Moses. God's action has His purpose- let his servant has power among people.
The Load is light, is fire and hide in dense cloud. Demonstrate Hos power. Every human being can't close to the Load for He is holy.
Consecrate myself, then is possible close to the Load. Consecrate: 1) Abstain from sexual relations 2) wash clothes- wear clean clothes.
Obey God fully: Not any exception when obey God, under any situation, no matter happy or sorrow.
Keep God's covenant: Follow God's words, Not our own selfish mind or others pursuit, but the words of God, no change no modify.
Put limits around the mountain is protect people unconsciously come close and will be put to dead.
How?
God loves Israelite and now through Jesus God loves us. God like eagle bring us to Him.
God is my king, for God I am kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
