" While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation./ For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses./But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?"(Heb.3.15-17)
Heart is a spiritual speace and God htm all."He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works."(Ps.33.15) The Israelites did not want to hear his voice. In fact they pleaded with Moses,"And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die."(Exod.20.19). Their fear and disbelief in His voice was so obvious the HolySpirit gives an example,"Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour./Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again./ The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him./Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes."( Jn 12.27-30) The Jews were warned for their spiritual deafness. If they cannot hear their own hearts what are they? Heart as a spiritual space touches the throne of Grace. So Hannah's prayer in her anguish produced no sounds. High priest Eli thought she was drunk. No She brought forth Samuel as a proof before him. "The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men."(Ps.33.13) So do you see him from inside and by faith abide in his presence, or it only a lip-service?
When " the Voice of the Lord God ."walked in the cool of the evening in the garden of Eden . Both Adam and Eve hid themselves among the tree for having disobeyed God they were now afraid of God .
All men try and hide from God when they have sinned .
When God called out " where art thou?" He knew exactly where they were . He wanted them to know or understand where they were .and He called them from their hiding place ( darkness) into His prescience ( light) and called them to account for themselves . It is reasonable to assume that The " Voice of the Lord God" Met with them every evening and fellow gripped and discussed the day . Sadly and with great grief this day was different.
Nevertheless God in His infinite love and mercy gave them a covering that truly covered theur nakedness but couid not restore them to their former "estate ".
Is it not written " Love covers a multitude of sin"
For if that covering had been enough why then the need of the Promise?
But in that God wishing to show that this one( "it") male ( "he") child born of a woman thus fully man but wouid not be of Adams seed said " The seed of the woman .." For it would be absurd to think God does not know the biology of His own creation .
We have then the foreshadowing of the animal sacrifices under the Law of Moses as well as " The Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world .
God has not changed that which was first laid out in the garden of Eden step by step fulfilled in its season .
The church needs to get back to the Word of God and "to Him who is from the beginning " For how can any man come to know Him who is from the beginning if we do not believe ALL He said in the beginning? For if we reject His Word do we not also reject Him who spake it?
We have many " little children" but how many " young men " in whom the Word of God dwelleth richly ?
And how many " fathers" who know Him who is from the beginning ".
We are covereed, so we have Ps.91.1 " He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." How God covered man and woman implied a death, so coat of sins refer to the slain Lamb (Rev.5.6;13.8) What is in the will of God does not require animal sacrifice but was specified for Israel since they had no appreciation for what faith would require. He willed and it was so.
What Psalm 91 points is our walk not by sight but by faith.
Thus the shadow of Apostles walking healed sick and lame. Healing was not in Peter but faith whch always come with works. So Elijah would take the dead child to the attic, in faith. "And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth."(1 Kgs.17.22-23. Many other instances,
