Exodus 19:16-25 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightning, and a thick cloud on the mount… 1. God's terrors in the law are not to drive men from Him, but to bring them humbly to Him. 2. God hath appointed a Mediator to bring souls unto Him. They come not of themselves. 3. Upon the Mediator's conduct souls may be bold to approach the terrors of the Lord. 4. Sinners must keep their standing appointed by the Mediator to find grace in the sight of God (ver. 17). (G. Hughes, B. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. |
