“And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with Him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and He spake unto him” (Numbers 7.89).
How can we prove that God’s glory is among His people? From the day that God’s glory had filled the tabernacle He began to speak from between the cherubim, from above the mercy seat. God had spoken to him when He called him, on the mount, and there He gave him the whole law and the pattern for the tabernacle. But now we find this speaking is different altogether. From now onward God began to open His heart to Moses to reveal His whole mind, from between the cherubim.
Here we get the proof that God’s glory was amongst His people. God was speaking and He was making His mind clear to all those that came to Him. It was the privilege of anybody among all the twelve tribes that for his personal or family problems or for any other matter concerning the congregation; he could go to Aaron, the high priest, and find out the mind of God and the will of God. Then Aaron would go to God hear Him speaking from between the cherubim above the mercy seat. God speaking is the one great proof that God’s glory is among His people.
