Top Highlights
“Study of Exodus 19 does not support speaking of ‘separation,’ as some like Leenhardt18 and Michaeli19 do, or of an impassable gulf, as Lefevre does, for whom ‘holiness is the impassable gulf which makes God inaccessible to the creature.’20 Such meanings are not appropriate to the use of forms of קדשׁ in this text.” (Page 407)
“The gō’ēl, that is, the nearest relative, removes his sandal to show that he is relinquishing his rights of purchase. Thus Moses must acknowledge that this ground belongs to God and enter into an attitude of consecration. Rather than being marking as set apart, ‘holy’ ground is ground consecrated, devoted, or prepared for the meeting of God and man.” (Page 404)
“So while God is awesome in His majesty, His holiness does not mean that He is the ‘Totally Other,’ nor does it speak of His separation. Just the opposite in fact—here God is coming to meet man (as in Exodus 3), which fits the central theme of this new section of Isaiah: Immanuel, that is, ‘God with us.’” (Page 410)
“Injury to preterism. Since these Old Testament passages have never been completely fulfilled but instead await a future fulfillment, an additional problem is created for the preterist interpretation, since it leaves no place for these passages to be realized.” (Page 100)
“One day in the barnyard, the hen and the pig were discussing the difference in meaning between the words ‘involvement’ and ‘commitment.’ The pig told the hen, ‘When the farmer comes for breakfast tomorrow, you’re only involved, but I’m committed.’ The cross is a revelation of the divine holiness.” (Page 417)
