The Ancient Foundation Laid by Moses The LORD revealed himself
to Moses on the at a time when the Hebrews were slaves in Egypt.
At first Moses hardly even recognized him, for all that Moses
saw was a burning bush. As he noticed that the bush didn't burn
up, he became and came closer. The first words that the LORD
spoke were, 'Moses, Moses. Do not come any closer. Take off your
sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.'
From this time on the LORD spoke often Moses was obedient to the
voice of the LORD in everything he said, the only exception
being the incident at the waters of Meribah, which cost him his
chance to enter the promised land. Because of his obedience, the
LORD could lay an enduring foundation for the nation of Israel,
granting them to become a prophetic people. Through their
obedience to his laws and sacrifices they would show forth his
eternal covenant, which would one day be established by the
sacrificial death and resurrection of the eternal Passover Lamb,
his beloved Son.
