The Need of a Mediator Between God and Man Felt and Acknowledged
Essex Remembrancer
Deuteronomy 18:15
The LORD your God will raise up to you a Prophet from the middle of you, of your brothers, like to me; to him you shall listen;


I. ON THIS GREAT OCCASION GOD WAS DEALING WITH THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AS THE MORAL GOVERNOR OF MEN, THE LAWGIVER AND JUDGE OF HIS ACCOUNTABLE CREATURES.

II. THIS GRAND PUBLICATION OF GOD'S HOLY LAW AND SOVEREIGN WILL TO THE ASSEMBLED ISRAELITES, WAS ACCOMPANIED WITH SUITABLE ATTENDANT CIRCUMSTANCES OF AWE AND MAJESTY.

III. THE ISRAELITES, BY THESE SYMBOLS OF AWFUL POWER AND HOLINESS, WERE FILLED WITH SOLEMN DREAD AND MADE APPLICATION TO MOSES, THAT IMMEDIATE COMMUNICATIONS FROM GOD MIGHT NO MORE BE GIVEN; BUT THAT HE WOULD BE THEIR MEDIATOR, RECEIVE THE COMMANDS OF GOD, AND DECLARE THEM TO THE PEOPLE.

IV. OBSERVE GOD'S APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION OF THE PEOPLE AND HIS COMPLIANCE WITH IT.

(Essex Remembrancer.)
