Backgrotnd: Following the Ten Commandments in chapter 20, the Israelites saw the lightning and heard the thunder. They were very afraid. Keeping their distance from Moses, they told him to speak to them instead of God. Moses responded, "Do not be afraid," and he approached the cloud. They were to make an altar for sacri fice to Him. Chapters 21-23 are often referred to as the "covenant code." They are a collection of incidents that show the application of the law. These incidents picture life in a community governed by God. This government covers the economic, social, political and reli gious life of the people This code is different from other codes of law in that the person is more important than property. "Roberts Complete Bible Handbook" breaks these chapters down very simply. Chapter 24 recorded the Israelites' acceptance of the code Aaron, Nadah and Abihu (sons of Aaron) along with 70 elders were called to worship the Lord from a distance Only Moses was to approach the Lord. He returned, told the people everything that God had said. Overwhelmingly they accept ed everything. Moses recorded everything. Early the next morning Moses built an altar at the foot of the mountain. The 12 stone pillars represented the 12 tribes of Israel (Jacob). Sacrifices were made and afterward Moses read from The Book of the Covenant (verse 4) aloud. Blood was sprinkled on them as a sign of covenant. They worshipped God. Moses was once again called to the mountain. Moses set out with Joshua, his aide. Moses left Aaron and Hur in charge. The cloud (God's presence) descended and on the seventh day the Lord summoned Moses to enter the cloud. He remained there for 40 days and nights Lesson: Moses is instructed to ask for a free will offering from the people. The materials brought will be used in the construction of the Tabernacle Verses 3-7 tell exactly what the offering is to be It's amazing that recently freed slaves (three months) would have this! Go back and read Exodus 3:21-22, 11:3, 12:35-36 to see where the wealth came from. The slaves' hands were empty yet God provided and they are lull. Specific instructions are given for the pattern of the sanctuary. They are to be followed exactly. The construc tion here is from the inside (ark of the covenant) to the outside (court). Chapters 28-30 are directives for the priestly garments, the consecration of the priests, the altar of incense and who may worship God names the spirit-filled craftsmen to do the work (chapter 31). After these instructions are complete. God gives Moses two tablets of stone inscribed by His finger. (This is quite different from Metro Goldwyn-Mayers 'Ten Command ments") Moses returns to the people and finds that they are worshipping the golden calf Moses intercedes for them with God. He breaks the tablets and destroys the calf The Levites kill the idolaters. The next day a plague strikes the others who sinned! Moses is instructed to resume the journey, and God promises Moses his continued presence The Tabernacle is constructed and the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting. The Tabernacle is concentrated. Noth ing profane is to be used in worship ping God. Moses anoints everything on the first day of the first month. Verse 3 refers to the veil. This is the veil that separates the "most holy place" (where the ark is) from the "holy place" (where the altar, table and can dlestick are). There is an outer veil between the holy place and the court yard. This is the place to meet God! All of this occurs one year after deliverance from Egypt. The emphasis here is on purpose God dwells with His people as they journey to Canaan. They journeyed on when the cloud was above the Tabernacle Exodus ends. The lesson then moves to Leviticus 26. Here we find the rewards for obedi ence This book focuses on worship and also expounds on punishment. The list of rewards can be explained based on prosperity, fertility of the fields and crop abundance Second, the rewards are seen as peaceful times for the nation and protection against mili tary aggression. Simply put. if the Israelites are obedient. God blesses them. If disobedience is the order of the day. punishment is imminent. God will walk among them and be their God, and they will be His people He reminds them of His mighty acts Application: The Tabernacle or Tent of Meeting, is the portable wor ship place for the Israelites. If we exam ine the materials and construction of it and everything that was to go inside, it was awesome! God didn't leave it to mans imagination; He gave specific details- This is a bit of heaven on earth. Why worship? It builds communi ty; it gives reverence to God both per sonal and corporate This worship should not be confused with ritual. Ritual is going through the motions with little or no thought given to the action. Ritual is empty. Have you ever gone to church and got nothing? Examine why that happened. Yes, our worship of God can be private but God also requires us to fellowship together. Like the Israelites, He chose us Once delivered, who are we to praise? Worship is important! He set the stan dard. Each time the Lord provided for them they were faithful. Each time they faced uncertainty they turned on Moses Sound familiar? Our approach to worship is serious and humbling. If that is the case, why do believers break up community? How can we come away from worship and not be changed? Our arrogance, selfishness and meanness are a slap in the face of God. If He looked beyond our faults and saw our needs, why can't we? Our society is in bad shape It isn't ; the >oung people's fault, it is ours by the disobedient examples we've set. Let - us repent now and call on His holy and ' righteous name! * ; * IN MEMORY of Mrs. Beatrice A. P. watKins September 22, 1914 ?
