Jesus leads us to take a look at his presence & his will in Exodus 23 & 24 . He leads us to review Exodus 23 , along with the book of Matthew & the Sermon on the mount. These 2 Books in the Old testament and New testament allow us to understand the will of Jesus himself. Looking at the old Law & the New Testament laws of the heart we gain a clearer understanding. When we read in Exodus 23 about not oppressing a stranger we see the same idea expressed in Matthew 5. Jesus talks about not just loving our neighbors but loving our enemies too & treating everyone with kindness, this is the same thing Jesus spoke about in the old testament we just have to open up our minds and hearts to see it. The strangers or other nations were sometimes considered our enemies in the old testament. In Exodus 24 we read that Moses , Joshua , Nadab , Abihu and 70 elders of Israel are instructed by God to journey up mount Sinai. They then meet God and in verse 10 it sais they saw the God of Israel, and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone. Jesus leads us to see the same thing Reflected in Ezekiel chapter 1 with the description of a firmament or surface that is under the throne of Jesus and that his throne is also made of Sapphire. These are signs and characteristics of the presence of Jesus himself. Read pray and seek along with us. Amen.

We watched this video about mount Sinai. towards the end (below)




 
 
 


In this Sermon Jesus leads us to Matthew 16 and Ezekiel 3 & the call of a prophet in the past and this day and age. Jesus speaks to us in Ezekiel about the prophet being sent not to people of a hard & strange language but a familiar one. That if he sent him out to a people of a strange tongue or language the word would be heard. But he has sent him to a people of familiar tongue or a familiar language and they dont listen and they dont listen to Jesus. He goes onto to say they have a stiff neck. Reflecting on where Jesus takes us too sometimes we are around our family or people that we know and the word Jesus gives us they cant hear. But to strangers they can here us just like john the Baptist screaming Repent Repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand to come. As Jesus leads us into Exodus 20 21 & 22 we Reflect on the Kingdom ,the 10 commandments & the old commandment that is the commandment the Jesus Paul and Peter mentioned that we love each other and that we love our neighbor.


 
 
 


In Ezra 10:9-14 we see Ezra the high priest lead Israelites into a time of repentance, separation santification and purity. Jesus leads us into examining this path of Holiness. Jesus leads us to this scripture which describes a great trembling because of the matters they were dealing with and the great rain. As we look at the current time we live in, we see this same trembling and the same rain in our prayers and our revivals.We see a closing up of events and ways of thinking.This rain it is from Jesus that waits to fall. It is the presence and glory of the spirit of Jesus the holy spirit. As we go forward we review the waters flowing out of the rock in Exodus 17, The manna falling and the battle with Amalekites. Jesus leads us right into Exodus 18 & 19 which is the formation of the Kingly Priests the Church itself and the 1st upright government by inspiration of God.
