What does the children of Israel coming to Mt. Sinai have to do with the Day of Judgment? More than you might think. The children of Israel reached Mt. Sinai in the third month after they left Egypt (Ex. 19:1-2). They had had by this time many experiences and had seen God working actively on their behalf in miracle after miracle. They had seen the plagues in Egypt from many of which they were spared. They had crossed the Red Sea on dry ground, they had been provided with drinking water miraculously on two separate occasions (Ex. 15:22-25, Ex. 17:1-7), they had been fed with manna and quail (Ex. 16), and they had been able to defeat those who attacked them with God’s help (Ex. 17:8-13). There was also the cloud that accompanied them by day and the pillar of fire that acc easy guitar songs ompanied them by night. Evidence of God’s presence with them and of his care for them was everywhere to be seen.At Mt. Sinai the Lord spoke to Moses from the mountain (Ex. 19:3) with a message for the children of Israel. They were to be reminded of what they had seen the Lord do to the Egyptians and “how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.” (Ex. 19:4 NASB) These things they were fully aware of. The Lord is prepared to make a covenant with them making them his own special people if they will only agree to obey him keeping his covenant (Ex. 19:5-6). Moses goes back to the elders of the children of Israel, meets with them, and “all the people” (Ex. 19:8 NASB) agree to do whatever the Lords says.Here is where we begin to get to what I want to talk about.
