“Mount Sinai – Historical Background”

Key Verse

“For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.” Exodus 19:2

Text —Exodus 19:1-8

Message

Mountain Sinai is the mountain in the wilderness where after the crossing of the Red Sea, God met with Moses and delivered the law. Early in the Israelites wilderness journey, God told the people to get ready to meet with Him. God promised He would deliver His law to them from the mountain top so that they would know how to conduct themselves. The people were warned to stay away from the mountain itself, for it would be a holy ground.

God descended on mount Sinai with a fearful display of power, thunder and lightning, a dark cloud, fire and smoke, the blast of trumpet and quaking of the earth. The people became so afraid that they asked that God should speak to Moses and let Moses be the intermediary. Moses spent a long time on Sinai and God allowed Moses to witness some of His glory. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face was shining with the glory of God. The people were afraid of him, so he put a vei lover his face so he would not frighten the people.

Today, you can come into a relationship with God because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He is our Saviour, Who has come to remove the veil and everything that can hinder us from coming close to God. All you need to do is to repent from your sin and open your heart to receive Him as your personal Saviour and Friend.
