Behavior changedBecause of a perceived Holy Day or Holy Place
If Jesus were to show upAnd stand in your houseWhat would changeIn how you treat each other?
“…in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die”- Gen. 2:17
Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God
And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed
And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned”
When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”
Then he said, “Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground”- Exodus 3
The Lord owns it allYet the place is holy groundBecause of the PresenceOf its Creator
The Presence of God Is designed to change The behavior of men
His shoes are offBecause there's a separationFrom the Presence of God
When Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent, and the Lord would speak with Moses
When Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent, and the Lord would speak with Moses
Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend…
Moses said, “Please show me your glory.” And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord…’
…But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live”
And the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock…
…and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by
Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen”
…as he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God.
Aaron and all the people of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him- Exodus 33-34
God's Presence Produces a change in the behavior of men (for a time)So…Law is introduced
And they carried the ark of God on a new cart, from the house of Abinadab, and Uzzah and Ahio were driving the cart
And David and all Israel were celebrating before God with all their might, with song and lyres and harps and tambourines and cymbals and trumpets
And when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah put out his hand to take hold of the ark, for the oxen stumbled
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he put out his hand to the ark, and he died there before God
There's a separationFrom God's PresenceIt can't be taken lightly
The Presence of God Produces a change In the behavior of men
