From the Burning Bush to Canaan Land (Tabular)

The Angel of Yahweh

1. He was the one who appeared to Moses at the Burning bush [Exo 3:2]—Exodus

1. He said he had come down to deliver the Israelites from Egypt [Exo 3:8]—the AoY
2. He said that he was going to be with Moses [Exo 3:12]—the AoY
3. It was through an Angel that God brought the Israelites out of Egypt [Num 20:15-16]—Moses

1. He was in front of the Israelites as they left Egypt [Exo 14:19]—Exodus
2. He said he had come down to deliver the Israelites from Egypt and bring them into the promised land [Exo 3:8]—the AoY.
   This means that he would have been with them in the wilderness.

This is confirmed by God's threat of not going with the Israelites [Exo 33:3]

1. God said he was sending the Angel of Yahweh with Israel [Exo 23:20-23]
2. He hindered Balaam from cursing Israel [Num 22:22-35]. This agrees with one of the stated purposes of his going with them which is to protect them [Exo 23:20].

1. He said he had come down, not just to bring them out of Egypt but to take them into the land of Canaan [Exo 3:8]—the AoY
2. The Angel of Yahweh sent with Israel was to give them Rest [Exo 23:20]—Yahweh
3. Moses said it was Yahweh himself who was going before Israel into Canaan [Deut 31:8].—compare this to God’s promise to go with Israel [Exo 33:14-16; 34:8-9] and to send an angel with his Name him ahead of them [Exo 23:20-23]—Moses
4. After the conquest under Joshua, long after Moses, he spoke to Israel [Jdg 2:1-5]—Judges

The Presence of Yahweh

1. God brought Israel out of Egypt by His Presence [Deut 4:37-38]—Moses
2. He delivered them from Egypt [Isa 63:9,10-14]—Isaiah

1. God promised to send His Presence with Moses [Exo 33:14; Exo 33:17,15-16]—Yahweh
   (since Moses did not enter the promised land, it is certain that was with Moses in the wilderness)

Conclusion: He was with them in the wilderness…

1. God promised to do what Moses asked which was to send His Presence with the people of Israel [Exo 33:17,15-16]—Yahweh

1. Hundreds of years later, he was with the prophet Samuel [Psa 99:6-7 cf., 1Sa 3:10,21,4-14,19-21]—Psalm

The Pillar of Cloud and Fire

1. The Pillar of Cloud and Fire was in front of Israel as they left Egypt [Exo 13:21-22; Neh 9:12 cf., Exo 14:19]—Exodus

1. The Pillar of Cloud and Fire led Israel all through their journey in the wilderness [Deut 1:32-33; Neh 9:19]—Moses, Nehemiah

1. God brought Israel out of Egypt by His Presence [Deut 4:37-38]—Moses

The Glory of Yahweh

1. As the One in the Pillar of Cloud and Fire, he was in front of Israel as they left Egypt [Exo 13:21-22]—Exodus

1. In the wilderness, “the Glory of Yahweh” was often seen appearing in the Pillar of Cloud and Fire to the Israelites [Exo 16:7,10-11; Lev 9:6,23-24; Num 14:10-11; 16:19-20; 16:42-44; 20:6-7]—Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers

1. On account of the sins of Jersualem, the Glory of God left the temple in the time of the Babylonian exile [Eze 1:26-28; from the holy of holies to the temple threshold Eze 9:3; 10:4; east gate of the temple Eze 10:19; east side of Jerusalem, Mount of Olives Eze 11:23]
