Picture Overview of OT – Understanding
Isaiah in Its OT Context (Part 11)
Luke 24:27 And
beginning with Moses and all the Prophets,
He
[Jesus] interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
John 1:45 Philip found Nathanael and
said to him, “We have found him of whom
Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of
Joseph.”
Cf. 2 Corinthians 3:6 & 12-14 - And He has qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not
of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives
life.
Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, not
like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not
gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end. But their minds were
hardened.
For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted,
because
only through Christ is it taken away.
… and, e.g., Hebrews 8:7 - For if that first covenant had been
faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.

Exodus 34:27 - And the LORD said to Moses, “Write these words, for in accordance with these words I
have made a covenant with you and
with Israel.”

Exodus 19:2-11
They set out from Rephidim
and came into the wilderness of Sinai, and they encamped in the wilderness.
There Israel encamped before the mountain, 3 while Moses went up to God.
The
LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying,
“Thus
you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel:
4 You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.
5 Now,
therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant,
you
shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine;
6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’
These are the words that you
shall speak to the people of Israel.”
7 So Moses came and called the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the
LORD had commanded him. 8 All the people answered
together and
said, “All that the LORD has spoken we
will do.” And Moses reported the
words of the people to the LORD.
9 And the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I am coming to you in
a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also
believe you forever.”
When Moses told the words of
the people to the LORD, 10 the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and
tomorrow, and let them wash their garments 11 and be
ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount
Sinai in the sight of all the people.”
Exodus 24:7
a Then he [Moses] took the Book of the Covenant and read it in the hearing of the people.
b And they said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be
obedient.”
Exodus 24:12 The LORD said to Moses,
“Come
up to me on the mountain and wait there, that I may give you the tablets of
stone,
with
the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction.”

Exodus 2:23-24
23 Now it came about in the
course of those many days that the king of Egypt died. And the sons of
Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry for
help because of their bondage rose up to God.
24 So God heard their groaning; and
God
remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Exodus 3:4-6,12
4 When the LORD saw that he [Moses]
turned aside to look,
God called to him from the
midst of the bush, and said, “Moses, Moses!”
And he said, “Here I am.” hin·nê·nî
5 Then He said, “Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet,
for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.”
6 He said also,
“I am
the God of your father: the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob.”
Then
Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
…
12 And He said, “Certainly I will be with you, and
this
shall be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you:
when you have brought the
people out of Egypt,
you
shall serve/worship
God at
this mountain.”
