Exodus 19:10, Consecrate them today<\/i>.<\/b><\/p>\n

Discussion A.<\/b> Why is it essential to study the example of the children of Israel preparing themselves to come into the presence of YHVH in Exodus 19? After all, if Yeshua did it all for us, we can just come boldly before the Father\u2019s throne anytime, anyway we want, right (Heb 4:16)?<\/p>\n

\"antique<\/a><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explore this concept a little to see what the Bible has to say about it.<\/p>\n

Paul says in I Corinthians 10:11,<\/p>\n

Now all these things happened to them [i.e., the children of Israel] as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. (See also Rom 15:4.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The writer of Hebrews has something similar to say in his prefatory remarks to his statement in Hebrews 4:16 about coming boldly before the throne of YHVH through the merits of the sinless righteousness of Yeshua our High Priest. In the preceding several verses, the author draws upon the example of the children of Israel (Heb 4:1\u201310) as an example for us not to follow. They were a faithless and disobedient (they rebelled against the Torah-word of Elohim) lot!<\/p>\n

Then in Hebrew 4:11, the author starts with the connecting word \u201ctherefore,\u201d indicating that what follows is related to that which preceded it. He goes on to admonish us not to follow the Israelites\u2019 example of disobedience (i.e., Torahlessness or lack of faith in and obedience to the word of Elohim).<\/p>\n

Next, the author likens the word of Elohim to a sharp two-edged sword that has the ability to separate between those who come to YHVH with wrong (carnal) heart motives versus those who have right ones, for nothing is hidden from the Almighty, so religious pretense and sham need not apply (Heb 4:12\u201313).<\/p>\n

This reminds me of Yeshua\u2019s harsh rebuke against the religious hypocrites of his day who thought that just because they were the sons of Abraham, they had a special \u201cin\u201d with Elohim. Quoting Isaiah, Yeshua criticized their sham religious expressions accusing them of drawing near with their mouths, but having hearts that were far from him (Matt 15:8\u20139 cp. Isa 29:13). In fact, Isaiah goes on in the same verse to deal with the issue of the improper fear of Elohim (Isa 29:13b). Yes, the fear of Elohim\u2014a subject not taught much in the church these days (it\u2019s not user-friendly)! Perhaps we need to have a little fear even when coming boldly before the throne of Elohim\u2014after all, he is a consuming fire (Deut 4:24; Heb 12:29), and he has the power to destroy both the body and the soul of man in the eternal judgment of Gehenna or the lake of fire (Matt 10:28 cp. Rev 20:15).<\/p>\n

Now back to the Epistle to the Hebrews. In Hebrews 4:14, we see that redeemed believers are privileged with being able to come before the presence of the Creator of the Universe on the merits of the sinless righteousness of Yeshua. Halleluyah! But is that all there is to it?<\/p>\n

Can we come before the throne of our Father in heaven through Yeshua as an impudent brat demanding this and that because \u201cYeshua did it all for me?\u201d Hardly!<\/p>\n

Those who are parents, ask yourself this. What will move your heart more, your child who comes to you respectfully honoring you, or a brat demanding his way who views you simply as the fulfiller of all of his wants and desires\u2014as his personal sugar daddy? Yet, this, sadly, is how some believers, in effect, view their Father in heaven.<\/p>\n

Yes, a redeemed believer has full access to the throne of heaven through Yeshua, but think of it this way. If the Queen of England or the President of the U.S. were to give you personal audience in their residence anytime, what would be your demeanor and approach? Recognizing their great power and authority, would you not at least prepare yourself ahead of time by washing yourself, putting on nice clothes and learning about proper protocols to be able to enter their presence with respect? How much more so the Creator of the universe?<\/p>\n

Remember the believers in Laodicea (Rev 3:14\u201322)? They felt quite self-sufficient, even self-righteous, because they had been granted the righteousness of Yeshua resulting in the gift of unlimited access to the holy of holies throne room of Elohim through the rent through the veil of Yeshua\u2019s flesh (Heb 10:20). Yet their heart attitude of pride stank in the nostrils of the Almighty, and unless they repented of their sin, Yeshua threatened to vomit them out of his mouth!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m reminded of the words of Solomon in Ecclesiastes 5:1\u20132,<\/p>\n

Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil. Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now back to Hebrew 4. What does verse 16 say?<\/p>\n

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This little verse is packed full of truth. Yes we can come boldly before YHVH\u2019s throne through Yeshua, but what should be our demeanor? Let\u2019s answer this question with a question. Why does this verse say that we\u2019re coming to YHVH\u2019s throne? First, to obtain mercy? Why do we need mercy? Because we\u2019re sinners deserving his judgment! Even though we have Yeshua batting for us, we must maintain a humble demeanor never forgetting what we\u2019ve done against him and what we deserve because of it.<\/p>\n

Second, why are we supposed to be coming to the throne of Elohim? Hebrews 4:16 says that we need YHVH\u2019s grace in time of need. Why? We need his grace, so that he will not only cover over our sins with the blood of Yeshua, and we also need his grace to divinely enable us to go forward following Yeshua\u2019s example of walking in sinless righteousness. What is sin? It\u2019s the violation of YHVH\u2019s Torah-word (1 John 3:4).<\/p>\n

Yes, there are preparations that must be made and protocols to follow when coming into the presence of YHVH Elohim, even though we have an open invitation to do so at any time through the rent veil of Yeshua\u2019s flesh.<\/p>\n

It is against the larger backdrop of these biblical truths that we can learn much from the children of Israel as they prepared to come face to face with the Creator of the universe at the foot of Mount Sinai in Exodus 19. For two days prior to their meeting with the Almighty, Moses required the Israelites to prepare themselves. This involved consecrating themselves by washing their clothes and abstaining from carnal relations with their spouses (Exod 19:10, 14). This teaches us that when approaching the presence of YHVH, we need set ourselves apart from the customary pollution or defilement of the world and the flesh. YHVH wanted Israel to be a kingdom of priests (Exod 19:6), and as such, they needed to act in a holy or set-apart manner when coming into his presence. Let us take an example from YHVH\u2019s instructions to the Israelites as we endeavor to both YHVH\u2019s royal priesthood (1 Pet 2:9; Rev 20:6) and the bride of Yeshua the Messiah (Rev 19:7\u20139).<\/p>\n

Discussion B. <\/b>What are the terms and conditions to coming into the presence of Elohim? Even though redeemed believers now have access to the Father by the blood of Yeshua the Lamb of Elohim, and even though the veil between the Holy of Place and the Holy of Holies (representing the divine presence or throne room of Elohim) has been opened for all to come in), what can we learn from this passage about preparing ourselves to come into YHVH\u2019s presence? Let\u2019s read and find out.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

In this chapter, YHVH invites his people to come near to him, to receive his Torah, and to enter into a spiritual relationship with him. He had just delivered them from their sins, suffering and bondage when he led them out of Egypt (v. 4). He now offered them enticing blessings and status among the nations of the world (v. 6) if, and only if, his people would agree to his terms and conditions (v. 5).<\/p>\n

But YHVH would not allow his people to accept his benefits on their terms, but only on his terms. This is where men and religious systems have missed it: they want to accept YHVH on their own terms, not YHVH\u2019s terms. Such is the religion of humanism\u2014that man knows better than YHVH what is good for him, which is the religion the serpent pawned off on the first man and woman at the tree of knowledge. The problem is that accepting YHVH on our terms is called sin, which leads to misery and eventually to eternal death!<\/p>\n

There are preconditions to meeting with YHVH and coming into relationship with him\u2014coming to his high and holy mountain, his place of abiding, and his presence. Coming to this place is not without cost. David talks about who can come to the mountain of YHVH in Psalms 15 and 24. Only those who have clean hands and pure heart and who abstain from sin.<\/p>\n

YHVH told the children of Israel that they could approach him and become his special people if they would meet certain conditions, and only then would he bless them (v. 5\u20136).<\/p>\n

Even after the people had agreed to his terms (v. 8), after they had accepted him as their Savior when they put the blood of the lamb on the door posts of their homes resulting in the judgments of YHVH passing over them (Exod 12), YHVH\u2019s blessings could come only after they had met certain requirements. Salvation is based on faith and grace alone, but rewards and blessings come based on obedience to the commandments of Elohim (Matt 5:19). To receive YHVH\u2019s blessing, the Israelites had to consecrate themselves to him (vv. 10,14). This involved putting away the filth of the world (symbolized by washing their clothes) along with men\u2019s carnal passions (symbolized by abstaining from sexual relations with their wives, vv. 10, 14\u201315). Graciously, YHVH gave them two days to accomplish this (v. 10). They had to get ready to meet YHVH (v. 11). One can\u2019t expect simply to waltz into the presence of the Mighty King of the Universe in a casual and haphazardly manner!<\/p>\n

YHVH had additional protocols that the people had to follow to come into his presence. Boundary stones were set up at the base of the mountain (v. 12). A death penalty came upon any who crossed those boundaries and came presumptuously into the presence of the Creator of the Universe (vv. 13, 22, 24). Moreover, before they could come into the presence of the Almighty, the fear of YHVH had to be established in the hearts of the people\u2014something that is entirely lacking among most people in our generation including those in the church!<\/p>\n

YHVH permitted only the priests who had previously consecrated themselves \u201cto come near YHVH\u2026lest YHVH break out against them\u201d (v. 22). Later, when the tabernacle was set up, YHVH surrounded the tabernacle with the priests and Levites who acted as a buffer between YHVH and the people. Though chosen of YHVH to serve him in his tabernacle, each time the priests would come into the tabernacle to serve him, they had to prepare themselves through the consecration process of washing and putting on the appropriate attire.<\/p>\n

It was then and only then after the Israelites had agreed to meet YHVH\u2019s terms and conditions, after having consecrated themselves for two days prior, and then set up boundary stones at the base of the mountain that the fire and glory YHVH fell upon the mountain for all the people to see. It was then that YHVH hand delivered to his chosen and consecrated people his precious instructions in righteousness\u2014the Torah.<\/p>\n
