You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. (Exodus 19:4)
It is said that an eagle does not carry her young in her claws like other birds; the young eagles attach themselves to the back of the mother eagle and are protected as they are carried. An arrow from a hunter must pass through the mother eagle before it could touch the young eagle on her back. This speaks of love and protection.
God didn’t deliver Israel so they could live apart from God, but so they could be God’s people and fellowship with Him.
And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ (Exodus 19:6)
Apostle Peter reminds us we are a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9), those who serve God as both kings and priests (and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, Revelation 1:6).
And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice. (Exodus 19:19)
In apocalyptic and at times other biblical imagery, trumpets are described as having a voice. John spoke of the “other voices of the trumpet of three angels” (Revelation 8:13). Could the “trump of God” actually be a manifestation of the audible voice of God?
Apostle Paul never explains what this “trump of God” actually is, whether it is a literal trumpet or a metaphor for God’s voice. In the Torah, when Moses was on Mount Sinai and God spoke, His voice is described as a trumpet.
Notice in Exodus 19:19, when God comes down on Mount Sinai and Moses goes up, there is a “voice of a trumpet sounding loud and long.”
