Exodus 33:7-9 KJV
And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.
And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses.
The people had sinned horribly with the golden calf Aaron had made. God had plagued the people because of their sin.
Now Moses was about to go before the Lord for them.
Would God bless them with His presence once again?
Would God forgive their sin and remove the plague?
Would God still direct them to the Promised Land, or would they be destined to die right there at the bottom of the Mount?
Every man came to his tent door and watched as Moses went to meet God for them. And they watched until Moses was inside the tabernacle and God's pillar had descended upon it. Moses serves as a type of Christ, who is the Mediator between man and God. Only through Jesus Christ can the condemnation of our sin be forgiven. Moses also serves as a type of the minister of Jesus Christ who gives himself to prayer and the ministry of the Word of God.
Men are no less sinners today and under no less condemnation even right now. Our world is riddled not with one plague, but one plague after another. The need today is for someone who meets God for them; someone who will intercede. The need today is for a man (or men) who can plead to God for Jesus' sake that men and women and children who are bound in sin may be free.
