God Goes With You
The cloud by day and the fire by night were the signs of the Lord’s presence with Israel. The Old Testament people were like children, not full-grown in faith (Gal 4:1), so visible signs like this were necessary for them. Now that Christ has come, the Spirit of God has come alive in us in a new way. The Spirit gives you clearer understanding of God’s will than that of the Old Testament people had.
The Glory of The Lord
Moses had the curtain hung around the courtyard.
Suddenly the sacred tent was covered by a thick cloud and filled with the glory of the LORD. And so, Moses could not enter the tent.
Whenever the cloud moved from the tent, the people would break camp and follow; then they would set up camp and stay there, until it moved again.
No matter where the people traveled, the LORD was with them. Each day his cloud was over the tent, and each night a fire could be seen in the cloud.
