Exodus 33 12 23 The Cleft In The Rock And The Wounds Of Christ 22 when my glory passes by, i will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until i have passed by. 23 then i will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”. 33:12 23 moses is very earnest with god. thus, by the intercession of christ, we are not only saved from ruin, but become entitled to everlasting happiness. observe here how he pleads. we find grace in god's sight, if we find grace in our hearts to guide and quicken us in the way of our duty.
Pleadings If I Walked With Jesus Nevertheless, god instructs moses to stand on a rock and as god’s glory passes by, god will place moses in the cleft of a rock protected by the hand of god. once god has passed by, god allows moses to glimpse the back of god but not god’s face (33:21 23). The lord lets him know he’ll make his goodness pass before moses by putting him in a cleft in the rock, cover moses with his hand while he passes, then remove his hand so moses can catch a glimpse of the backside of god’s glory. While my glory passes by, that i will put you in the cleft of the rock: god’s glory could not remain in front of moses, it had to pass by him. even with that, moses had to be protected by the hand of god and the cleft of the rock when the glory of god passed before him. The picture of christ as a rock split open to provide a place of spiritual refuge for sinful people is drawn from moses’ experience recorded in exodus 33:20 23, where moses desired to stand in god’s presence and see his glory (which is god’s plan and purpose for man).

The apostle paul quotes exodus 33:19b in romans 9:15 as part of a passage dealing with the divine election of israel (romans 9 11). in that passage, paul deals with the problem that many jews, whom god has chosen to be his people, were not embracing the salvation available through jesus christ. And the lord said, "behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock, and while my glory passes by i will put you in a cleft of the rock, and i will cover you with my hand until i have passed by. then i will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen." the message. Then i will take away my hand, and you shall see my back; but m and while my glory is passing by, i will put you in a cleft of the rock and protectively cover you with my hand until i have passed by. B. v. 21 23 a place – god tells moses that there is a place by him where moses can stand and see the glory of god as it passes by. that place is a cleft in the rock.
