Exodus 3

In the Moral Law God himself gives a charge, God spoke all these words; therefore with what veneration should we attend? Moses was to put off his shoes from his feet (in token of reverence,) when God was about to speak to him (Exodus 3:5-6). 3. If God spoke all these words of th…

He is Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last (Revelation 1:8). No creature can write itself Alpha, that is only a flower of the crown of heaven (Exodus 3:14): I am that I am; namely, he who exists from and to eternity. Use 1. Here is thunder and lightning to the wicked; God is…

Three times I was beaten with rods; as if you should see a scullion whip the king's son. God beholds it (Exodus 3:7). I know their sorrows.

If a man were on the top of a high tower or theatre, he might from there see all the people below: God is in Heaven as in a tower or theatre, and he sees all the transactions of men. The wicked make wounds in the backs of the righteous, and then pour in vinegar; God writes down…

14. Vlt. There is kindness in affliction, in that it is a means to make us happy (Job 5:17): Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. This seems strange to flesh and blood that affliction should make one happy; when Moses saw the bush burning and not consumed, I will (says he…

Q. How else does the nature of God shew that there can be no more but one God? A. It is the nature of God to have his being of himself, and so give being to whatever else has being; for so much is signified by the word Jehovah (Exodus 3:14 & 6:3 & 15:3). Q. And how does this pro…

In these words is laid down a second reason, whereby is proved, that these Patriarchs died in the faith, seeking their country in heaven. The reason is drawn from the testimony of God himself, recorded by Moses in the book of Exodus, where God saith, He is the God of their Fathe…

1. Moses was the Internuntius between God and the people in this great transaction. On God's part he was immediately called to this employment (Exodus 3). And on the part of the people he was chosen and desired by them to transact all things between God and them, in the making a…

Quest. 3. The next question is, who is meant by Michael the Arch-Angel. Michael is the name of his person, and Arch-Angel of his office; Michael signifies, he is strong God, or who is like the strong God; and therefore some apply it to Jesus Christ, who in many places of Scriptu…

Objection 2. Exodus 3:5: God said to Moses, Stand far off and put off your shoes, for the place is holy. Now if holy places must be reverenced, then much more holy images, as the cross of Christ and such like.

1. Where God was pleased to afford the visible and extraordinary appearances and manifestations of his glory to the very eyes of his servants, such places were holy during the time of those manifestations. As when the Lord appeared to Moses in the burning bush (Exodus 3:5), the…

This was what He first made known to them when He first made it known to them, when He adopted the entire nation as His peculiar people and church — Exodus 3. For although the name YHWH had been known to all the faithful from the foundation of the world, God had never used it in…

Your Lord. This word Jehovah notes out his being eternal, infinite, beginning and ending of all things (Exodus 3:14; Revelation 1:8). By this it appeareth, this law appertaineth to all, because he is the Lord of all.

The name of God is his memorial among men, which being in his titles, most properly is given to them, whether drawn from his nature, as Jehovah the Lord, or his properties, just, holy, merciful, &c. The God of Abraham, Jacob, &c. (Exodus 3:15). Hence, because the Lord in excelle…

Position 5. Free grace is the loveliest piece in heaven or earth; it makes us partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). And though the creature graced of God keeps an infinite distance from God, and is not "Goded" nor "Christed," as some do blasphemously say, yet it is consi…

He now confirms the former sentence, and shows that the cause of this famine and barrenness shall be, in regard that thorns and briars shall grow upon the land; that is to say, the fields shall be laid fallow and barren, whereas before they were fat and fruitful. Now this must n…

Answer: I answer, there are two sorts of signs, one goes before, and leads us by the hand as it were to the thing promised, the other comes after and confirms it, that it may stick fast in our memories, never to be erased. As for example, when the Lord brought Israel out of Egyp…

First, she thinks she stands by her own power: secondly, she makes herself believe, that the rest of the world are not worthy to be compared with her: thirdly, she promises herself a rest unchangeable. For the first, none can say truly I am, but God only, to whom it belongs prop…

For there is here a close comparison between their deliverance out of Egypt, and this out of Babylon. For they fled by night out of Egypt, feigning as if they had only meant to have gone three days' journey to offer sacrifice to God (Exodus 3:5 and 8:27). Afterward, they went fo…

He calls them mercies of David, because this covenant which was now so solemnly confirmed, was made in David's hand. True it is that the Lord made the covenant first with Abraham (Genesis 15:5 and 17:7), and afterwards confirmed it by Moses (Exodus 3:15), and lastly he establish…

Besides, he did not aim at collecting all the passages of Scripture, as we see that the apostles do not always make use of the same proofs on the same subject. And yet we must not imagine that there were no good reasons why Christ seized on this passage (Exodus 3:6) in preferenc…

Hence they are apt to think the lowest room belongs to them: and their inward disposition naturally leads them to obey that precept of our Savior, Luke 14:10. It is not natural to them to take it upon them to do the part of teachers; but on the contrary, they are disposed to thi…

If we judge by that rule, we must conclude, the more apt and powerful the means are, the more successful and prosperous they must needs be; and where they are inept, weak, and contemptible, nothing can be expected from them: thus reason layes it according to the rules of nature;…

And for this end and purpose it is, that the Holy Ghost has affixed those notes of attention to the narratives of the works of Providence in Scripture: all which do invite and call men to a due and deep observation of them. So in that great and celebrated work of Providence, in…

Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he reveals his secrets to his servants the Prophets (Amos 3:7). When he is to send Moses for the deliverance of his people, he appears to him in a burning unconsumed bush (Exodus 3:2), a sign manifesting the presence of his power, to pres…

(Exodus 3:2-3) And he looked, and behold the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed; and Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. IT is a common saying, and common sayings are generally founded on matter of fact, that i…

1. In, and by its institution and erection; he made, framed, set up, and appointed that Church state, and all the worship of God therein observed. He it was who appeared to Moses in the Wilderness (Exodus 3:5; Acts 7:32, 33), and who gave them the Law on Mount Sinai (Exodus 20;…

Who it was that appeared. Exodus 3:2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 14. God that appeared.

The thing itself in its existence it is true cannot be made so a sign; but it may in the promise and prediction of it. And many instances we have of things promised for signs, which were not to exist in themselves, until after the accomplishment of the things whereof they were s…

§ 31 The place they came to, is called the Wilderness of Sinai, v. 2. and so was the Mountain also it self whereon the glorious majesty of God appeared, v. 20. It was also called Horeb (Exodus 3:1): He came to the Mountain of God even to Horeb, where they were to serve God, v. 1…

It is a proverbial speech among us, What the eye sees not, the heart grieves not. And when the Lord would show how he was moved with the sufferings and knew the sorrows of his people in Egypt, he doubles it upon this sense, I have seen, I have seen, or I have surely seen the aff…

I have cryed unto you Jehovah. God gave out that name to his people to confirm their faith in the stability of his promises; Exodus 3. He who is BEING himself, will assuredly give being and subsistance to his promises. being to deal with God, about the promises of grace, he make…

Now we may see what reason there was for the words of the text, "The moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall endure forever and ever, and my salvation from generation to generation." Now we may see abundant reason…

This redemption was by Jesus Christ, as is evident from this, that it was wrought by him that appeared to Moses in the bush; for that was the person that sent Moses to redeem that people. But that was Christ, as is evident, because he is called the angel of the Lord, Exodus 3:2-…

S. 68. 41. Exodus 3:5. If all either places or times were in respect of God alike, therefore was it said to Moses by particular designation, This very place wherein you stand is holy ground? Why does the prophet David choose out of all the days of the year but one of which he sp…

1. Concl. Often God reveals himself. 1. To Moses waiting on his herding (Exodus 3), he appears to him in the bush: he reveals Christ to the Disciples while they are mending their nets: the Angels declare to the shepheards the birth of Christ while they attend their flocks, yet i…

If Christ as our high Priest have received the elect from the Father, "Yours they were, and you gave them to me"; and as Redeemer entrusted to bring them in, he must send the Gospel to them as Mediator, and intercede, that Apostles, Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers may be gifted w…

Exodus 3:13-14. And Moses said to God, Behold when I come to the children of Israel, and shall say to them, the God of your fathers has sent me to you, and shall say to me, what is his name; what shall I say to them? And God said to Moses, I AM, THAT I AM: And he said; thus you…
