Exodus 15

The church has more with her than against her; she has Immanuel on her side, even that great King to whom all knees must bend. Christ is called a Man of War (Exodus 15:3); he understands all the policies of warfare; he is described with seven eyes, and seven horns (Revelation 5:…

What cannot omnipotent power do? The Lord is a man of war (Exodus 15:3). He has a mighty arm (Psalm 89:13).

The next attribute is God's holiness (Exodus 15:11): "Glorious in holiness" — Nedar Bakkodesh. Holiness is the most sparkling jewel of his crown; it's the name by which God is known (Psalm 111:9): "Holy and reverend is his name."

And have put on the new man, which is renewed [illegible] — after the image of him that created him. He who has God for his Father resembles God in holiness: Holiness is the glory of the Godhead (Exodus 15:11). The holiness of God is the intrinsic purity of his essence.

That which makes God glorious, must needs make us so. Holiness is the most sparkling jewel in the Godhead (Exodus 15:11): Glorious in holiness. Sanctification is the first fruit of the Spirit; it is Heaven begun in the soul.

God counts holiness his glory, and the most sparkling jewel of his crown. (Exodus 15:11) Glorious in holiness. Here is a meditation fit for our first entrance into a Sabbath, God's holiness: the contemplation of this would work in us such a frame of heart as is suitable to a hol…

Chrysostom says, where dancing is, there the devil is: I speak chiefly of mixed dancing. And whereas we read of dances in Scripture (Exodus 15), those were sober and modest. They were not mixed dances, but pious and religious, being usually accompanied with singing praises to Go…

How many injuries and affronts did he put up? The people of Israel dealt unkindly with him, they murmured against him at the waters of Marah (the water was not so bitter as their spirits,) but he fell to prayer for them (Exodus 15:24). He cried to the Lord, and the Lord showed h…

This is the most sparkling jewel of his crown. Glorious in Holiness (Exodus 15:11). God is first transcendently holy.

So (Deuteronomy 10:20): "You shall fear the Lord your God, and serve him." Christ expounds it (Luke 4:8) exclusively: "You shall serve only the Lord," because it is the prerogative of God to be worshipped, as it is a prerogative of grace to be the ransomed and redeemed of God (D…

So have the Lord Jesus Christ by worshiping of him; and you have him fully (Psalm 45:10-11). He is the Lord your God, and worship him; implying, that as God has set over his Son to us, to be our Lord, so we must receive, accept, and worship him; this is that which Moses and the…

When their hearts are most joyful, and they go about duties most willingly, yet then most awfully; for take you a Christian when he comes unwillingly, his heart is not much affected with fear and trembling, but then he is most awful when his heart is in the best frame towards ho…

Elsewhere we have them in transports admiring his holiness. Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods! (Exodus 15:11) Who is like you glorious in holiness!

See Psalm 18. Title, and v. 1, 2, 3. So Moses and the people with him, Exodus 15. when God had delivered them from Pharaoh, how do they exalt him in a song of thanksgiving, which for the elegancy and spirituality of it, is made an Emblem of the doxologies given to God in glory b…

The measure thereof is longer than the Earth, and broader than the Sea. 2 Chron. 2:6 The Heaven and Heaven of Heavens cannot contain him. Exodus 15:11 He is glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders. When the Scripture speaks of him comparatively, see how it expres…

In Leviticus and Numbers, other outward preparations are commanded, as the abstaining from all things that were unclean, they must not touch anything that was unclean; and then sometimes they were not only to wash their clothes, but to change their clothes: you have the expressi…

While it is called A Song of Songs, it is compared with, and preferred to, all other songs: and we conceive the comparison is not only between this and human songs; but, 1. It is compared with, and preferred to, all these which Solomon wrote, and it is preferable to all these 10…

In this we have, 1. The mean applied and made use of. 2. The manner of application. (For that the worker is the Beloved himself, is clear) The mean in his hand, which in Scripture signifies three things, when attributed to God, 1. His Omnipotence, whereby he does what he pleases…

4. That the care and love of Christ to them, in reference to all these, may appear, that they may know upon what grounds to comfort themselves in every condition, and may have this song, as a little magazine, for direction, and consolation in every condition. Therefore this song…

And how weak will they all appear together at the day of judgment! Thus we may apply those words in the song of Moses, Exodus 15:6. "Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy."

They which worship the sun, among the heathens, they used a flying-horse, as a thing most suitable to the swift motions of the sun. Well then, they that will glorify and honor God with a glory due to his name, must sanctify him as well as honor him: why? for God is glorious in h…

Think of Gods Omnisciency: he makes a Curious and Critical descant upon all our Actions, and enters them down into his day-book. Think of Gods Holiness, which is the most sparkling Jewel of his Crown, Exodus 15:11. Think of Gods Mercy: this makes all his other Attributes sweet.

See Hosea 2:18, 22. 2. By acting contrary to their ordinary course and nature; for waters to stand on a heap (Exodus 15:8), fire not to burn (Daniel 3), are unwonted and contranatural things, and they do this to witness against the contranaturalness of sin, and both these were w…

It is said to weary him, when men do but say that evil is good in his sight (Malachi 2:17). This is the thing God glories in, that he is holy, yes, glorious in holiness (Exodus 15:11). And holiness is the attribute, which frees God from not only evil itself, but from all appeara…

Perfect pleasure is only at God's right hand (Psalm 16:11); yet we may begin here to tune our instrument before we play the sweet lesson of contentment exactly in heaven. I should be glad if this little piece might be like Moses his casting the tree into the waters (Exodus 15:25…

How many injuries did he bear! When the people of Israel murmured against him, instead of falling into a rage, he fell to prayer for them (Exodus 15:24-25). The text says they murmured at the waters of Marah; surely the waters were not so bitter as the spirits of the people.

First, there is a primitive purity which is in God originally and essentially, as light is in the sun. Holiness is the glory of the Godhead (Exodus 15:11); God is the pattern and prototype of all holiness. Second, there is a created purity; holiness is in the angels, and was onc…

I shall show: first, that Christ is a physician; second, why he is a physician; third, that he is the only physician; fourth, how he heals his patients; fifth, that he is the best physician. That Christ is a physician — it is one of his titles (Exodus 15:26): I am the Lord who h…

It is one thing to profess God, another thing to resemble him. A godly man is like God in Holiness: Holiness is the most orient Pearl of the King of Heavens Crown, Exodus 15:11. Glorious in Holiness. Gods power makes him Mighty, his mercy makes him lovely, but his holiness makes…

So (Psalm 30:7): You turned away your face, and I was troubled — [in non-Latin alphabet] Niuhal — I was troubled like a withered flower that loses sap and vigor. So (Exodus 15:15): the dukes of Edom — [in non-Latin alphabet] Niuhaln — were amazed; yet at that time David prayed,…

Now a man inhabits nothing but a house; if therefore God inhabit praises, it is a sign that it is a way to raise up a house to encompass God about with, such is the nature of prayer. A man that has a prayer to make, he has a house to build for God (Exodus 15:1): I will prepare a…

And for her it is said, that when the child was dead, he rose up from mourning and weeping, and went in and comforted Bathsheba; a sign that she was mourning alone. And so sometimes men by themselves, and women by themselves, as it was a custom; in thanksgiving, the women went o…

A great revival of religion is expressly compared to this gradual production of vegetables (Isaiah 61:11): "As the earth brings forth her bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring f…
