[Mr. M]

1 Corinthians 10:

1 Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers

were under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

2 all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea..

 

2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable

for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

 

Exodus 40:38 For the cloud of the Lord was above the tabernacle by day,

and aflame by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

 

What do we learn from the cloud in the wilderness?

The Cloud and the Fire

Numbers 9:

15 Now on the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle,

the tent of the Testimony; from evening until morning it was above the tabernacle

like the appearance of fire. 

16 So it was always: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. 

17 Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, after that the children

of Israel would journey; and in the place where the cloud settled, there the children

of Israel would pitch their tents. 

18 At the command of the Lord the children of Israel would journey, and at the command

of the Lord they would camp; as long as the cloud stayed above the tabernacle

they remained encamped. 

19 Even when the cloud continued long, many days above the tabernacle,

the children of Israel kept the charge of the Lord and did not journey. 

20 So it was, when the cloud was above the tabernacle a few days: according to

the command of the Lord they would remain encamped, and according to

the command of the Lord they would journey. 

21 So it was, when the cloud remained only from evening until morning: when the cloud

was taken up in the morning, then they would journey; whether by day or by night,

whenever the cloud was taken up, they would journey. 

22 Whether it was two days, a month, or a year that the cloud remained above the tabernacle,

the children of Israel would remain encamped and not journey;

but when it was taken up, they would journey. 

23 At the command of the Lord they remained encamped, and at the command of the Lord 

they journeyed; they kept the charge of the Lord, at the command of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

An emphatic dissertation!

[R. Hartono]

The pillar of cloud and fire did not make people repent. One rebellious generation died in the desert. 

So what lesson we learn ?

The Lord expects us the move when the Spirit moves!

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

What do we learn from the cloud in the wilderness?

 

1 Corinthians 10:

1 Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, 2 all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. 5 But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.

6 Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. 7 And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” 8 Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell; 9 nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; 10 nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer. 11 Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. 

How are the examples from the wilderness what the ends of the ages have come?

That it surrounds the Presence of the Lord:

Exodus 24:16 Now the glory of the LORD rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. And on the seventh day He called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 17 The sight of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel. 18 So Moses went into the midst of the cloud and went up into the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

2 Chronicles 6:1 Then Solomon spoke: “The LORD said He would dwell in the dark cloud."
