Izlazak 33

Studie

   

1 I reče Gospod Mojsiju: Idi, digni se odatle ti i narod, koji si izveo iz zemlje misirske, put zemlje za koju se zakleh Avramu, Isaku i Jakovu govoreći: Semenu tvom daću je.

2 I poslaću pred tobom anđela, i izagnaću Hananeje, Amoreje i Heteje i Ferezeje i Jeveje i Jevuseje.

3 I odvešće vas u zemlju gde teče mleko i med; jer neću sam ići s tobom zato što si narod tvrdovrat, pa bih te mogao satrti putem.

4 A narod čuvši ovu zlu reč ožalosti se, i niko ne metnu na se svog nakita.

5 Jer Gospod reče Mojsiju: Kaži sinovima Izrailjevim: Vi ste narod tvrdovrat; doći ću časom usred tebe, i istrebiću te; a sada skini nakit svoj sa sebe, i znaću šta ću činiti s tobom.

6 I poskidaše sa sebe sinovi Izrailjevi nakite svoje kod gore Horiva.

7 A Mojsije uze šator i razape ga sebi iza logora daleko, i nazva ga šator od sastanka, i ko god tražaše Gospoda, dolažaše k šatoru od sastanka iza logora.

8 I kad Mojsije iđaše u šator, sav narod ustajaše, i svak stajaše na vratima svog šatora, i gledahu za Mojsijem dok ne uđe u šator.

9 A kad Mojsije ulažaše u šator, spuštaše se stup od oblaka i ustavljaše se na vratima od šatora, i Gospod govoraše s Mojsijem.

10 I sav narod videći stup od oblaka gde stoji na vratima od šatora, ustajaše sav narod, i svak se klanjaše na vratima od svog šatora.

11 I Gospod govoraše s Mojsijem licem k licu kao što govori čovek s prijateljem svojim. Potom se vraćaše Mojsije u logor, a sluga njegov Isus sin Navin, momak, ne izlažaše iz šatora.

12 I reče Mojsije Gospodu: Gledaj, Ti mi kažeš: Vodi taj narod. A nisi mi kazao koga ćeš poslati sa mnom, a rekao si: Znam te po imenu i našao si milost preda mnom.

13 Ako sam dakle našao milost pred Tobom, pokaži mi put svoj, da Te poznam i nađem milost pred Tobom; i vidi da je ovaj narod Tvoj narod.

14 I reče Gospod: Moje će lice ići napred, i daću ti odmor.

15 A Mojsije mu reče: Ako neće ići napred lice Tvoje, nemoj nas kretati odavde.

16 Jer po čemu će se poznati da smo našli milost pred Tobom, ja i narod Tvoj? Zar ne po tome što Ti ideš s nama? Tako ćemo se razlikovati ja i narod Tvoj od svakog naroda na zemlji.

17 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Učiniću i to što si kazao, jer si našao milost preda mnom i znam te po imenu.

18 Opet reče Mojsije: Molim Te, pokaži mi slavu svoju.

19 A Gospod mu reče: Učiniću da prođe sve dobro moje ispred tebe, i povikaću po imenu: Gospod pred tobom. Smilovaću se kome se smilujem, i požaliću koga požalim.

20 I reče: Ali nećeš moći videti lice moje, jer ne može čovek mene videti i ostati živ.

21 I reče Gospod: Evo mesto kod mene, pa stani na stenu.

22 I kad stane prolaziti slava moja, metnuću te u raselinu kamenu, i zakloniću te rukom svojom dok ne prođem.

23 Potom ću dignuti ruku svoju, i videćeš me s leđa, a lice se moje ne može videti.

689. The reason why John's baptising prepared the way was that by this means, as shown above, people were introduced into the coming church of the Lord, and brought into the company of those in heaven who were awaiting and longing for the Messiah. They were thus protected by angels to prevent devils breaking out of hell and destroying them. This is why it says in Malachi, 'Who will endure the day of his coming' and 'so that Jehovah may not come and strike the land with a curse' (Malachi 4:6). Likewise in Isaiah:

Look, the cruel day of Jehovah is coming, a day of wrath and an explosion of anger. I shall make the heaven tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place on the day of the explosion of His anger, Isaiah 13:6, 9, 13, 22; 22:5, 12.

Also in Jeremiah that day is called a day of laying waste, of revenge and ruin (Jeremiah 4:9; 7:32; 46:10, 21; 47:4; 49:8, 26). In Ezekiel it is called a day of wrath, of cloud and thick darkness (Ezekiel 13:5; 30:2-3, 9; 34:11-12; 38:14, 16, 18-19). Equally in Amos (Amos 5:13, 18, 20; 8:3, 9, 13); in Joel, the great and terrible day of Jehovah, and who will endure it? (Joel 2:1-2, 11; 3:2, 4). In Zephaniah:

On that day there will be a shout. The great day of Jehovah is at hand, the day of the explosion of His anger is that day, the day of anguish and affliction, the day of laying waste and devastation. On the day of the explosion of Jehovah's anger the whole earth will be consumed, and He will bring about an ending with all the inhabitants of the earth, Zephaniah 1:7-18.

There are other passages too.

[2] From these it is plain that if the way had not been prepared by baptism for Jehovah to come down into the world, the effect of which in the heavens was to shut off the hells and to protect the Jews from total extinction, [all there would have been struck with a curse and would have perished] 1 . Jehovah also says to Moses:

In a single moment, if I were to go up in your midst, I should consume the people, Exodus 33:5.

The truth of this is clearly to be seen from John's words to the crowds who came out to be baptised by him:

You brood of vipers, who has warned you to run away from the wrath to come? Matthew 3:7; Luke 3:7.

For John also teaching about Christ and His coming when he baptised, see Luke 3:16; John 1:25-26, 31-33; 3:26. These passages make it plain how John prepared the way.
