Up to this point, the people knew about God as their deliverer from Egyptian bondage. But now they were scheduled for a face-to-face meeting at a mountain. Here's Moses summary: “So it came about on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunder and lightning flashes and a thick cloud upon the mountain and a very loud trumpet sound, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled. And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain” (Exodus 19:16–17).
Yes, you read that correctly. Moses brought the people to meet God! They were to be introduced to the One responsible for their freedom, the One who had humbled the power of Egypt and defied the arrogance of Pharaoh to set His people free.
A meeting like this awaits us in the future! God will humble those who oppose Him and deliver us from His enemies. And then, we will come to a mountain for a face-to-face meeting with the One responsible for OUR deliverance! Can't wait!
