The cloud covered the tabernacle even in the clearest day; it was not a cloud which the sun scatters. This cloud was a token of [[God]]'s presence to be seen day and night, by all [[Israel]], that they might never again question, Is the [[Lord]] among us, or is he not? It guided the camp of [[Israel]] through the wilderness. While the cloud rested on the tabernacle, they rested; when it removed, they followed it. The glory of the [[Lord]] filled the tabernacle. In light and fire the Shechinah made itself visible: [[God]] is Light; our [[God]] is a consuming Fire. Yet so dazzling was the light, and so dreadful the fire, that [[Moses]] was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, till the splendour was abated. But what [[Moses]] could not do, our [[Lord]] [[Jesus]] has done, whom [[God]] caused to draw near; and who has invited us to come boldly, even to the [[mercy]]-seat. Being taught by the [[Holy Spirit]] to follow the example of [[Christ]], as well as to depend upon him, to attend his ordinances, and obey his precepts, we shall be kept from losing our way, and be led in the midst of the paths of judgment, till we come to heaven, the habitation of his [[holiness]]. BLESSED BE GOD FOR JESUS CHRIST!
