Thirty-five hundred years ago, our God Who is a Consuming Fire, came down and spoke to Moses on a mountain in the Wilderness outside of Egypt. As we open to Exodus 19:9-20, watch with me what happens.

As God arrived, the following moments made it ominously clear that humans would have trouble getting close to the Almighty God.

As God came down from Heaven to the Earth, the mountain began quaking, a cloud of fire surrounding God was burning the top of the mountain, and a pillar of smoke rose like a blast furnace. Our God is a Consuming Fire.

Welcome to the visual illustrating the doctrine of the holiness of our God Who is a consuming fire given as an introduction to why a Tabernacle Doorway to Heaven was needed.

OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE
Our God is Holy and All-Powerful. Our God came down to Earth and it was like the Earth was being consumed by the Holiness of God. Lesson number one:

POINT 1: GOD IS ABSOLUTELY HOLY SURROUNDED BY FLAMING FIRES, QUAKES, AND SMOKE
Each time the Scriptures portray the Holy Atmosphere of Heaven, surrounding our Holy God on the Throne, the same elements are clearly seen. Each of the elements surrounding God’s Holy Throne speaks of a scene so awesome, and so massively powerful that frail creatures like we are as humans would have trouble surviving. Move onward to Ex. 24:17 (NKJV):

The sight of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.
Remember how Daniel saw God’s Throne? That description is almost beyond our comprehension both in scope and in appearance, but is captured for us in Daniel 7:9 (NKJV):
“I watched till thrones were put in place,
And the Ancient of Days was seated;
His garment was white as snow,
And the hair of His head was like pure wool.
His throne was a fiery flame,
Its wheels a burning fire;
10 A fiery stream issued
And came forth from before Him.
A thousand thousands ministered to Him;
Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.
The court was seated,
And the books were opened.
Coming up to God’s Throne is a bit like visiting the surface of our Sun: it would be amazing but we would get consumed by the visit.
Each description of God’s Throne reinforces this distance needed for reverence: smoke, quaking, and fire.
