He Doesn't Want To Hear It

Exo 34:2-3 MKJV
(2) And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to Me in the top of the mountain.
(3) And no man shall come up with you, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mountain. Also do not let the flocks nor herds feed before that mountain.

It's a confusing thing to read a verse like this. Is God just picky?

Remember that God had just sent Moses down with His instructions, and before instruction could be delivered, the people fell into a grievous sin of idolatry. Do you think God wanted to see those people? What were they worshiping? A cow. Do you think God wanted to see cows?

Remember, too, that this was before the perfect propitiation for sin - Jesus - had been sacrificed. God's anger burned!

Even now, God sees His people but now He sees the blood of His son. He does not see their sin! But guess - who - comes - along - to remind Him? The accuser, the devil. However, Jesus, at His right hand, reminds the father that we are His, and although the devil has his chance now... his time runs out. The Father will not permit Him audience forever! He does NOT wish to be reminded of anything, nor will He be! For those under the blood of Jesus, He has blotted out their sin! That is good news!
