The Blood of the Covenant

Exodus 24:1-11The Glory Blood of the Covenant If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Exodus 24. During the summer on Wednesday evenings, we worked through the Book of the Covenant. Now, keep your finger at Exodus 24, and turn back to Exodus 20, and look at verse 22. The Book of the Covenant begins in that verse. The Book of the Covenant contains the applications and illustrations of how the Ten Commandments apply to the daily life of Israel as individuals and as a community. It runs all the way from Exodus 20:22 to Exodus 23:33. In other words, it covers all of Exodus 21, 22, and 23, and that part of Exodus chapter 20 which is immediately after the Ten Commandments. The Ten Words give the fundamental legal principles for Israel's society, their community, and…

The Glory of the Lord

The Glory of the LordExodus 24:12-18 If you have your Bibles, please open to Exodus 24, as we continue to examine the book of the covenant, that application of the Ten Commandments to Israel, and the general applications that are universally applicable. The covenant code of laws is found in Exodus 20-23. The Ten Commandments give us the fundamental legal principles for Israel's society, and the book of the covenant applies those fundamental principles to specific contexts of law and society and religion. Exodus 24 is a transitional passage that shows the great covenant confirmation ceremony. Israel has now received the Ten Commandments from God's own mouth, and Israel responds, now confirming for the third time that she would indeed embrace God in covenant, in obedience, and follow…

That I May Dwell Among Them

Exodus 25. 1-40That I May Dwell Among Them Now if we were going to outline this passage together we would divide it into four parts. The introduction to the building of the tabernacle and of all its furnishings is in verses 1-9. There we have the call for costly gifts to build the tabernacle. The second part of the chapter is in verses 10-22 where we get the instructions for the ark of the testimony or the ark of the covenant. The third part of the chapter is in verses 23 — 30,where we get the instructions for the bread of presence. And the fourth part of the chapter is found in verses 31 — 40, where we get the instructions for the golden lamp stand. But I am going to concentrate especially on verses 1 — 9 and on verse 40, because, Exodus 25 sets forth key spiritual principles for…

It’s Curtains

Exodus 26:1-37Its Curtains If you have your Bibles I would invite you to turn with me to Exodus chapter 26. “O Lord, teach us wonderful things from Your word. Surprise us with the truth of Your word. We ask in Jesus' name. Amen”. Curtains. A chapter on curtains. What does God intend us to learn? Well, in the midst of the recording of these instructions, Moses teaches us at least three things. He first teaches us about God. He second teaches us about His redemptive purposes as they are…

Mobile Sanctuary

Exodus 27:1-21Mobile Church That brings us to Exodus 27. So if you have your Bibles look with me there. “Our Lord and our God teach us from Your word this night of Christ and of Your worship. We ask it in Jesus' name. Amen.” I want to point you to three things. Exodus 27 divides into three parts. Verses 1-8 describe the altar of sacrifice. That altar of sacrifice was called different things. For instance, in the very first verse of the next chapter, it's called the altar of bronze,…

The Beauty of Holiness

The Lord's Day Morning October 27, 2002 Exodus 28:1-45 “The Beauty of Holiness” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III From Exodus 24 on, we've said several times the focus is on the details of the worship of God. Exodus 24 is the great turning point of the book. It's the “swing chapter” or dividing point of the Book of Exodus, and we commented even as we launched into Exodus 25, that it is striking that that passage begins a thirteen-chapter account of the tabernacle. Think of it: nearly a…

Preparations for Priests

Exodus 29:1-46Preparations for Priests We have been looking at this section of Exodus that runs from Exodus 24 through 40, with one interruption in 32, 33, and 34. This whole passage has to do with the right worship of God. Now you maybe wondering about that interruption, we’ll get there early next year God willing. And that interruption is about wrong worship. So the whole of the end of Exodus is about worship, both right and wrong. And so we find this series of connected chapters focusing on…

A Sweet Smell For the Lord

Exodus 30:1-38A Sweet Smell for the Lord If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn to Exodus chapter 30. Let's begin with reading Exodus chapter 30: 1-10. “Moreover, you shall make an altar as a place for burning incense; you shall make it of acacia wood. Its length shall be a cubit, and its width a cubit, it shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits; its horns shall be of one piece with it. And you shall overlay it with pure gold, its top and its sides all around, and…

Bezalel the Builder (with apologies to Bob)

Exodus 31:1-18Bezalel the Builder Let's look to our passage in Exodus 31:1-18, where we get God's instructions regarding the builders of the tabernacle. Now, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “See, I have called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. “I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship, to make artistic designs for work in…
