Who spoke to Moses on the Mountain? (PART3)

If you have stuck with me from PART 1, congratulations. I do understand that the flow of the content could have felt somewhat unnerving at times. It is time to wrap up the theme in this final instalment.

I have covered the ground in terms of showing that Hashem has felt comfortable making use of servants outside of Himself to communicate His will on earth, particularly to Moses for the sake of Israel. I intentionally only briefly touched on the nature of holiness in terms of Hashem because the topic is considerably broad in terms of scope. Since this three part series has effectively been about explaining why supernatural beings were commissioned on Hashem's behalf to communicate with Moses, it is time to bring the reasoning for that reality into sharp perspective.

To do this I need to finish the thought process in terms of explaining the manifest nature of how Hashem's holiness is both concealed and revealed, particularly through the efforts of those supernatural sons who spoke with Moses.

Take a look at these two upcoming book titles from Covenant Publishing because the content of this series is taken from these two books respectively. Effectively what I am going to share in this third instalment of the series comes specifically from " The Proto Priests".

These would be the intentionally undefined supernatural beings I have been referring to since PART 1. If you wanted to refer to them as "angels" I guess you could. The reason I have not is because I don't want to be pigeonholed into the spaces which have been formed because of over 2000 years of Israel's heritage being held hostage by non-Israelite sources.

I intentionally use the label "Levite" so as not to leave any doubt concerning where it is I come from and go to in terms of the ministry I do.

Moses received much, in fact most of what is recorded in Torah as law, from these "Proto-Priests". If you are paying attention, then the scope of new ground has grown for you. Here is what the expansion should look like.

1. You have had to grapple with the notion that Hashem's holiness demands that He remains "out of reach", while appearing as an intimate creator/father figure.
2. You have had to grapple with the notion that supernatural beings, besides Hashem, gave the majority of Torah law to Moses on Sinai.
3. You now have to grapple with the fact that I am suggesting these supernatural beings are in fact "priests".

Since as you can see above, these topics are broad enough to fill two books, I will summarize the core focus point I think this series can handle.

I want to wrap up this series by focussing on the connection between Hashem's holiness and the priestly nature of these "proto-priests". In a nutshell, it is these "priests" in eternity who are in fact guardians of Hashem's holiness. They did not put themselves in this position of course and so you should not be confused about that. I did note in a previous instalment that when we deal with this theological issue concerning Hashem, we are dealing with Hashem's authority and holiness. So in terms of authority, it is Hashem who has placed the priests in eternity. Their job, as it is on earth with my Levite tribe, is to guard holiness.

This means that the office of the Levites on earth is modelled after the original offices of these proto-priests in eternity. As such, if you think about it, who better to bring Torah law to Moses, than the guardians of Hashem's holiness in eternity?

Add to this contemplation, the idea that many of these proto-priests were meant to be Watchers/overseers/governers of nations on earth and suddenly the picture gets more clear.
