Exodus 40 - The Tabernacle Completed | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Exodus 40 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Exodus 40 the tabernacle is completed. It is now the first day of the first month of a new year. Burton Coffman in his commentary estimated they had left Egypt about 350 days earlier, about 15 days short of a full year. In this video we consider the last 18 months of Moses’ life, from his call, leaving his wife behind, challenging Pharaoh, the plagues, the exodus, the forming of a nation, giving of the law, covenant with God, building of the tabernacle and more. Now he is standing in the desert looking at the glory of God filling the tabernacle. What a whirlwind year and a half it was. It’s nothing short of incredible. This video then considers the glory of God as it enters the temple, and then the glory in Solomon’s temple, and the glory in Zerubabbel’s temple, and then finally the third temple. Finally the books of Exodus finished with a happy conclusion. God is with his people and leading them, and it speaks to us of how we should be as God’s people today.

Exodus 39 -Garments for the Priests (continued) | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Exodus 39 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Exodus 39 we see the similarities to the creation of the world in Genesis 1 and 2. It looks like a repeating of the instructions of Exodus 28 but we now see it is a complete recreation of things in the earth, from the Lord’s perspective. And in the same way God blessed the original creation, now Moses blesses it in God’s name. Creation is a spiritual thing more than a physical thing, and here we have a new creation on Earth. Later in the new testament we are told that if we are in Christ we are a new creation, but here long before Christ physically came, he is here on Earth symbolically as the tabernacle. If Satan has his eyes opened, he would have been shocked at the bold advances of the Lord in taking ground and bit by bit taking back this fallen creation for Himself. What began as the smallest seed of faith in the heart of Abraham, has now grown to become an entire nation of people in the wilderness, with God in their midst. Something powerful is at work, as the rest of the Bible to follow outlines.

Exodus 38 - Construction of the Altar | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Exodus 38 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Exodus 38 we see parts of Exodus 27 and 30 repeated but now in a past tense of having happened, rather than in the future tense as before. What we are seeing here is the willingness of the Israelites to actually do what God said. Previously God did things for them, and they were largely ignorant of Him, but now they have seen a certain amount of His dealings, not just miracles, but also the golden calf incident. They have collectively now chosen to obey and follow. There comes a time in the life of every person when they must choose for themselves. For children there is an age of accountability, and for every person there comes a time when they have learned enough information and they become responsible for their choices. This video considers this, and asks, will you choose the way of God?

Exodus 37 - Construction of the Ark | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Exodus 37 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Exodus 37 we have a showing, rather than a telling of the meticulous obedience to what God said. This is the reason why the information about the building of the tabernacle and its furnishings is repeated here. The repetition however isn’t exactly the same. It’s second telling demonstrates that what God said, was done in the manner in which he said, and to the level of detail that he requested. Even though we don’t live under legalism, we do learn here that obeying the Lord properly always remains important. We live however by the Holy Spirit’s guidance, and so we apply the same diligence to the instruction of God in our lives today, as the children of Israel did at that time. This chapter thus shows us the meticulous obedience of God’s people, rather than just telling us they obeyed.

Exodus 36 -The Tabernacle's Construction Begins | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Exodus 36 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Exodus 36 we talk about repetition. … about repetition. … about repetition. … ok you get the idea. Exodus 36 seems like just Exodus 26 repeated, but the truth is that sometimes things have to be said multiple times. In this video you will hear why repetition is important, and in particular why we should not just strive to read our Bible once in a lifetime, but to read it over and over again as long as we live.

Exodus 35 - Sabbath Regulations | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Exodus 35 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Exodus 35 what seems like the beginning of a lifeless repetitious series of chapters is actually a remarkable insight into spiritual life and God. Exodus 25-31 is now about to be repeated in almost exactly the same in chapters 35-40. However there are subtle differences which highlight bigger things. First this is actually the first time the people of Israel are hearing these things. Because the first time we read them was when Moses was being instructed up the mountain on what to tell them. And when he came down, he met the golden calf and wasn’t able to do what God said. Everything was over. But because God called Moses up a second time, now we are able to finally do what God wanted, and this time the people are able to hear Moses (although he has a veil over his face) tell them what God said during those 40 days. The tense of the language has changed from future to present/past, and the people are finally listening to what God said. It was back in Exodus 19 they said they would listen, and it is finally happening. This video explains all of this and more, and what it means for you.

Exodus 34 -The New Tablets | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Exodus 34 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Exodus 34 Moses goes back up the mountain to spend a second forty days with the Lord. He is there to reissue the covenant, with new tablets and God goes over everything again, although greatly summarised in this chapter. But a few different things happen. Firstly the people know what is going to happen this time, and they don’t go wild in his absence and there is no golden calf on his return. While Moses is gone, he has an experience of God’s love which greatly touches him, and he is covered in the glory of God. When he comes back down the mountain his face is shining. And so Moses must feil his face so as to talk with people, because the glory was too bright for them to handle. Paul writes about this in 2 Corinthians 3, comparing the glory of this covenant and the glory of the new covenant, which is much brighter. And the gospel today is covered and cannot be seen if anyone to tries to approach it via Moses, or via any other means than Christ. This video explains these things in more detail.

Exodus 33 - Moses' Intercession (continued) | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Exodus 33 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Exodus 33 God tells them to go to Canaan, but he isn’t coming with them. The broke their side of the covenant made just earlier, and now God is released from His promise to them. LIke an unfaithful partner, the other now has grounds for divorce. Moses goes to sort the matter out with God in the tent of meeting. It turns out there are two tents of meeting, which is explained in this video. Moses convinces God to remain faithful to his promise even though the Israelites are hopeless. He admits they won’t make it without Him, which is true for all people at all times. Thus God demonstrates his long faithful patience which has always been His way. Moses then proceeds to ask if he can see God’s glory, which is a prayer every believer should pray. But God advises he cannot see His face and live. Earlier in verse 11 it said that Moses talked to God face-to-face. Is there a contradiction here?

Exodus 32 - The Golden Calf | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Exodus 32 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Exodus 32 the biggest thing that must be observed is that Elohim is the translation for the golden calf. The Israelites think they are worshipping the same God that Moses talked about. In verse 5 after making the calf, Aaron says “tomorrow we celebrate a feast to Yahweh.” They then begin to “play” which is actually practice sexual immorality like the fertility cults and 23000 of them (1 Cor 10:7-8) commit adultery. The KJV better translates in verse 25 that the people were naked. The Israelites had been removed from Egypt, but here we see that Egyptian thinking was still in them. They saw their leader as a god and with Moses apparently dead, they needed God back. This futile and strange thinking wasn’t cured out of them until the exile and the destruction of the temple. Worshipping of idols was a problem right up until Josiah’s big reforms just a few years before Nebuchadnezzar began taking people away. Daniel of course was one of those exiles, a highly righteous person. Moses had to intercede for the people because God wanted to destory them, and the key was giving God a good reason. We need to find good reasons to back up our prayers because we actually find it strengthens our faith and moves God’s heart. This video also discusses the debate about the actual tablets. At Sinai God instructed punishment and 3000 people died. Later on the day of Pentecost which celebrates the giving of the law, 3000 people were saved. This video goes over all these things and shows that the law kills, but the spirit gives life.

Exodus 31 - Bezalel and Oholiab are Commissioned |Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Exodus 31 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Exodus 31 the Holy Spirit is given to Bezalel and Oholiab, who are two tradesmen, for their work in building the tabernacle. This is surprising because we usually think the Spirit is given for spiritual work. Yet we see that building this tabernacle is spiritual work. Earlier in scripture God was with Joseph in all he did, and later the “spirit of the gods” was with Daniel. We see in these examples that the Spirit of the Lord is given for our regular work as well, to give us success and favour with unbelievers. Bezalel and Oholiab were trained in Egypt, and probably had slave jobs building elaborate things for Kings. Even so, this is still considered “wisdom’ that God has put into these men, and to be used for him. Everything good we have comes from God, even that which we learn from strange sources. This chapter then makes clear that the Sabbath is Holy. Holy means it belongs to God. Later in the New Testament we see that the Sabbath has become the first day of the week coinciding with the resurrection. Fitting it remains holy and is called very clearly “the Lord’s day.” Finally, God gives the tablets of stone written with his finger. NOTE: These tables were double sided and there were two copies. The finger of God is a symbol of the Holy Spirit, and later in Jeremiah God says he is going to give a new covenant and write the law on our hearts. It is the finger of God that does that writing too. The Holy Spirit causes us to love God’s laws, and hate wickedness. If that is not your experience, then you need to seek the Spirit’s work within you so he writes on your heart.
