Summary

At the beginning of the book of Exodus, we saw a “dark shadow of enslavement that lay upon the people of God, the bitter cry of bereavement as their sons were snatched from them for the river, the blows of the taskmaster, a future without hope, and the relentless, uncaring policy of genocide. They were at that time a people under the cloud … Now, at the end of the book, they were again a people under a cloud, this time the cloud of the Lord, the signal of His presence in glory, holiness and grace. Between these two clouds, the sovereign Lord of the whole earth had routed all the power of the enemy, granted His people deliverance, brought them to Himself by the blood of the lamb, graced them with his directive law, and come, in the fullness of His person, to take up residence in their midst as their indwelling God. This is the whole story of the book of Exodus.” (Motyer) We are so excited to bring this study to a conclusion by studying Exodus 40:34-38 on Sunday and seeing how God’s promise to dwell with His people comes to fruition … a text which comforts us yet also perplexes us as it points forward to a future day.

Now, at the end of the book, they were again a people under a cloud, this time the cloud of the Lord, the signal of His presence in glory, holiness and grace.

Between these two clouds, the sovereign Lord of the whole earth had routed all the power of the enemy, granted His people deliverance, brought them to Himself by the blood of the lamb, graced them with his directive law, and come, in the fullness of His person, to take up residence in their midst as their indwelling God.
