Bible Reference & Cartoon Description

Exodus 19:16-19 (NLT)
16 On the morning of the third day, thunder roared and lightning flashed, and a dense cloud came down on the mountain. There was a long, loud blast from a ram’s horn, and all the people trembled. 17 Moses led them out from the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. 18 All of Mount Sinai was covered with smoke because the Lord had descended on it in the form of fire. The smoke billowed into the sky like smoke from a brick kiln, and the whole mountain shook violently. 19 As the blast of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God thundered his reply.

RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Google earth position & orientation – 28° 31’ 47.41” N 33° 58’ 14.49” E Looking NNE. Egypt is behind & to the left of the viewer. Israel is north of this position.
The large mountain in the middle of th cartoon is mount Sinai. I have taken artistic liberties with the mountain & made it look more cone like, to add drama.

This story is also repeated in Deuteronomy chapter 4, verse 11.

Here’s the scene in greyscale form, which I create before I colour up a scene, to get the tone (light and shade) right.

Bible Doctrine Notes
19:10-24 GOD, Holy (1.11C)
Right from the beginning, God wanted the Hebrew people to learn the vast qualitative difference between Himself and human beings: God is holy, we are not. Because of this fact, we humans must purify ourselves & humble ourselves in approaching the holy God. Human sin is the opposite of holiness; it prevents us fro looking upon the holiness of God, lest that intense divine holiness destroy the sin person. We can approach God only on His own terms, in His own ways: in humility & with great respect. Even the ability to approach towards God is a gift of His grace, extended towards us, & must be done with reverence & not taken lightly. The thunder, lightning, earthquake, trumpet sound & deep dark cloud were physical manifestations of the holiness of God on Mt. Sinai, illustrating the awesomeness & mystery of the “otherness” of a holy God.

19:10-11 PRAYER, Holiness of God (5.51B1)
People who are invited into the presence of the holy God should always show their respect both in inward attitude & outward appearance. Hence God’s direction to have the Hebrew people clean their clothes & consecrate themselves, ready for God’s appearance in Exodus 19:10-11.
