Moses 7 Times!What happened with Israel & the Mixed Multitude that left Egypt when at Mt Sinai?

Why did Moses meet with God on Mt. Sinai 7 times???????Revelation 19:7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him glory!;for the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has madeherself readyHim = GodLamb = JesusBride = All that have accepted Jesus as Lord and saviorand walk in His waysand obey His commands.

Its always been all about our Marriage COVENANTWith the LORD.Please take the time to read from Exodus 19-40 to set the foundation for the eternal 10

commandments (marriage vows agreed to both in the OT and in the NT when you

accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior). In addition in the OT we see the statutes forpriests, garments, tabernacle construction, tools and ARK and feast days that are the

Lords. He commands all of us that are His bride to honor and meet with him on these

days. (These are not Jewish Feast or Feasts of Israel, they are the Lords Feasts He callsthem Holy Convocations, which means dress rehearsals!) see Leviticus all of Chapter 23

for best detailed overview).

Remember Romans 11:13-20, we are grafted into ourMessiah - the root of our inheritance...All this will help move us to better discuss the giving of the Levitical Laws which

followed after the Sin of the Golden Calf. (Which raises the question what has beennailed to the cross and what is still in place, look forward to discussing this in detailin follow up questions to the enclosed.) Notenow the giving of the 2nd set of Tablets in:Exodus Chapter 34:1-3The Lord said to Moses, Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will

write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. 2 Be ready in themorning, and then come up on Mount Sinai. Present yourself to me there on top of the

mountain. 3No one is to come with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain; not even

the flocks and herds may graze in front of the mountain.

When one gets married several key steps are seen in the Bible aswell as throughout most the world!1. Proposal2. Acceptance3. Marriage Vows4. Marriage Celebration/Meal/Wedding FeastOk- here we go* u = up mountain* d = down mountain1)Ex 19:3-uEx 19:7-d--- these verses cover Proposal from God2)Ex 19:8-uEx 19:14-d--- this covers Acceptance of all the people (both Israel and Gentiles that left

with them from Egypt)3)Ex 19:20-uEx 19:25:d--- because this was between the people and a Holy God (sanctification

required)

4)Ex 20:18-21-uEx 24:3-d--- God gives his commands (vows) 1-4 how to Love & Honor Him, 6-10

How to love your neighbor.Before we move forward with why Moses went up to meetwith the Lord 7 times, we need to look at Chapter 24 for understanding and more

questions to be discussed later. Exodus 24:3 (Moses restates all the Lord said & people

accept) 24:4 (Moses wrote down all and built altar) 24:5 (offerings prepared) 24:6 (only

half the blood sprinkled on altar?-why?) 24:7 (BOOK OF THE COVENANT? readto people!) 24:8 (Blood Ratified Acceptance) with vows made by God to HIS People

(Israel and the mixed multitude, yes gentile believers were part of Israel now-seeExodus 12:38).5)Ex 24:9-u (see 9-11 marriage feast/meal ceremony consummates Marriage Covenant)Ex 32:15-d (Moses witnesses Marriage Covenant Broken via Golden Calf 32:16-30)6)Ex 32:31-uEx 33:1-d--- Ex 33:2-23-This time is filled with fear of what God will do next and

people repenting and waiting to see what the Lord tells Moses next!

7)Ex 34:2-uEx 34:29-d--- Moses comes down with 2 tables of testimony, and Ex 34:30 onward

Moses shares all that the Lord has spoken. (Bible refers to this as the Law of Moses,

and the Book of Deuteronomy is called the Book of the Law.)

Going through thisPPT study on Lens of COVENANT will help much more?
