Observation Questions For Exodus Chapter 33 Moses has come down after 40 days on the mountaintop, only to find an idolatrous party going on. He smashes the tablets, orders men to be killed until the party stops, then goes back up on the mountain to intercede for the people. God tells Moses to go lead the people into the land He had promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But, He says, He Himself would not be leading them, but an angel. The people will be getting the promise of God, yet without the presence of God. The people put away their jewelry and Moses goes out to the tent of meeting to plead with God to go with them or not send them out. ..... Exodus 33 1.

No, because God the Father and God the Son are both God and yet God the Son showed up in Pre-Incarnate ways to many of the patriarchs. Jesus said that Abraham saw His day and others claimed they had seen the living God and were kept alive such as Hagar, Jacob, Joshua and others. In the New Testament, we are also told that no one has seen the face of God at anytime. Comment on this verse: 1 John 4:12 If we love one another, God abideth in us - This is treated of, 1John 4:13 - 16. And his love is perfected - Has its full effect. In us - This is treated of, 1John 4:17 - 20.- 17Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19We love him, because he first loved us. 20If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. we have to love each other even our enemies bacuse God is lonve and no one can lnot love others and love God. Yet, this same John, the apostle, said this in his gospel account of seeing and touching and hearing the Word of God and said that He is God - Jesus. Read these verses and comment: John 1:1-4 -1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. Jesus is the light of the world why he was here but then we became that light and He was there with God in the beginning beacuse he was God the Son. John 1:14 -14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. He the son came to earth to die for our sins . He came in the form of human and felt everything that we feel, John 1:18 -18No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. And comment on what the writer of Hebrews tells us in the verse below: Hebrews 1:3-5 -3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 15. Jesus spoke with Moses face to face just as a man speaks to his friend. How does the Lord speak to us and what does He call us? 2 Corinthians 4:6 -6For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 3:18 -18But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. John 15:15,16 - 15Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 16. Who stayed in the tent of meeting with God even when Moses left to go back into the camp with the people? vs. 11Joshus Note: We have seen Joshua a few times now. He was the one who fought Amalek while Aaron and Hur held Moses arms up in prayer. He was the one who went up the mountain to assist Moses even though he did not go to the very top to be in the presence of God with him. He was there waiting to come back down with Moes and assist him again. Now we see that he goes out to pray with him and stays when he returns back to the camp. He is getting groomed and we will find out that he is the very one that will lead the children of Israel into the promised land after Moses dies. Wow. How awesome it would be to be the assistant/servant to Moses at that time. 17. We have the record of the prayer that Moses prayed to the Lord and how the Lord responded back to him! (vs.12 - 23) - How awesome it is. What does Moses need to know from God? vs. 12awere he want s them to go God has told him He knows him by name and that he has found favor (grace) in His sight. (12b). What does Moses need to know in order to know the Lord better? vs. 13a teach him his ways. This is one pray that we should take to heart every sday and asked God to teach us his will each day . What does Moses want the Lord to remember? vs. 13b How did God respond to Moses? - vs. 14 - Name 2 things He would so this for Moses He was very pleased with him. What did Moses say to Him in return? vs. 15 If "God was not with them then not to send them from there. How did Moses say others would 'know' that he and God's people have His favor? vs. 16That God go with them. This is the same today, isn't it? How do people know that you belong to God? Read 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 and 1 Peter 2:9-12 and make comments. Back to Ex.33. - What did the Lord say to Moses in return? vs.17a -That he would do this for him.

Who will God be gracious to and have compassion on? vs. 19b on all thfat he has compassion on. 21. Why could God not allow Moses to see His face? vs. 20 He would die Note: Again, this is why most believe it was the Son of God, Jesus, in Pre-carnate form speaking with Moses in the tent face to face and not God the Father's face that he would have seen. 22. Where did Moses stand to be beside the Lord? vs. 21-clifted of the rock 23. God put him in the cleft of the rock as His glory passed by and covered him with His hand until He passed by. (vs.22) Then God took His hand away and allowed Moses to see what? vs. 23his back Application: 24. Moses longed to know God deeper; to know His ways so that He would know Him better. This should be the heart of every child of God. Paul had this longing so deep that he even longed for suffering to help him know his Lord more intimately. Read and comment on these verses. Philippians 3:10 - 25. Jesus prayed for you and I to taste this glory of knowing Him and knowing God in all the fullness of oneness with Them.
