Exodus Bible Study Lesson 5 Questions
1. Read Exodus 19:1. How long after Israel left Egypt was it before
they came to Mount Sinai? Look back earlier in Exodus and determine on
what day was the Passover kept and the day they left Egypt?
2. Read Exodus 19:5-6. In Exodus 19:5 God mentions His Covenant. He
has been revealing Himself to mankind through covenant revelations to Adam
& Eve, Noah, Abraham, and to Moses. . What are some of the common elements
of His covenant revelations?? Are these revelations/requirements still in
effect today?
3. Different schools of theology view these revelations differently.
How do dispensationalist view these covenant revelations? How do covenant
theologians view them?
4. In Exodus 19:6 God mentions a kingdom of priests, and an holy
nation. What was Israel's response? Did they keep their promise? Did
Israel ever become this?? Was this a conditional or unconditional
promise?
5. Read 1 Peter 2:9. What is its relationship to Exodus 19:6? Who is
1 Peter 2:9 referring to?
6. Moses receives the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai. List them. Are
they still in effect? Read Matthew 5:17-18. What does Jesus say about the
Law? Has this happened yet?
7. Investigate the opinions of prominent Dispensationalist and
Covenant Theologians on the relevance of the Ten Commandments to the New
Testament believer and give a comparison.
8. The Bible uses the word "law" in a number of ways. Discuss at least three ways (or meanings) about how the word Law is used in the Bible.
9. Earlier we mentioned that Moses was a type of Christ in the act of
a deliverer. Many Bible scholars compare Jesus' Sermon on the Mount with
Moses on Mount Sinai. In Matthew chapters 5-7 you will find a number of
situations that are similar to Moses on Mount Sinai. Do you think Jesus is
expanding the laws against murder and adultery or just amplifying them
(hyperbole)? Has He changed the Ten Commandments (adultery & murder) are
was it is just a warning of progression from mind to action?
10. Read Leviticus 26:1-12. God speaks of a people to whom He is their
God, they are His people and He will dwell with them. Was this a
conditional or unconditional relationship? Who are the people of God
today? How does He identify (mark) His people? Who will be the people of
God in the future when Jesus comes again?
