This is part of a video series covering the entire Bible in 4 years, one chapter at a time. Start at the beginning with Genesis 1 (Youtube link: https://youtu.be/wC2qD4RGOdo) and work through the playlist. Or go to https://www.peace.org.au/bible.html for more information.
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.
