Over the golden calf incident God holds out this promise to him. God did not make this in jest neither did he pronounce his decision over the nation of Israel,"Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them."(Ex.32:34) God did visit them when God let them all perish in the wilderness save the two. " Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun."(Nu.14:30) Another change in their relationship between God and Israel was that his Angel or the presence, typified by the pillar of fire and of cloud would take over. "for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.:(Ex.33:3)
God promised Moses the pre-eminence and he submitted himself as the Intercessor which he refused. "Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written."(Ex.32-32). God had already established the everlasting covenant where Jesus Christ the Word become flesh was the slain Lamb before the worlds began and Moses could be only 'After our likeness.'. It is thus Moses is set down as the double for his Son. When God declares that he was sanctified over the Meribah incident it only meant the nation. His only begotten Son represents the whole world. This difference is brought out in the Tabernacle of the congregation. (Ex.33:7) "And called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the Lord went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp." Without the camp ties up with He.13:12-13) Volume of a believer opens to it and they serve as witness to what we are really. Ps.40:9
"And I will make of thee a great nation."
