Chapter LIX.—God distinct from the
Father conversed with Moses.
When I had
spoken these words, I continued: “Permit me, further, to show you
from the book of Exodus how this same One, who is both Angel, and God,
and Lord, and man, and who appeared in human form to Abraham and
Isaac,2161
appeared in a flame of fire from the bush, and conversed with
Moses.” And after they said they would listen cheerfully,
patiently, and eagerly, I went on: “These words are in the book
which bears the title of Exodus: ‘And after many days the king of
Egypt died, and the children of Israel groaned by reason of the
works;’2162
and so on until, ‘Go
and gather the elders of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, The Lord
God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob, hath appeared to me, saying, I am surely beholding you, and the
things which have befallen you in Egypt.’ ”2163
In addition to these words, I went on: “Have you perceived,
sirs, that this very God whom Moses speaks of as an Angel that talked to
him in the flame of fire, declares to
Moses that He is the
God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob?”E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
