What did the burning bush symbolize?
The Burning Bush represents the cursed thorn bush as it has become the body of Christ, cleansed through the work of Christ, that though it is in the midst of the fire, yet it was not burnt or being consumed by the fire. Even as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.Exodus 3:3"And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt."What does the Burning Bush represent? Note again exactly why Moses was curious. It was because the bush was in the midst of the fire, and yet it was not burnt or being consumed by the fire. He was so fascinated by this that he had to find out why the thorn bush is not consumed. In reality, in his example, God wants us to turn, observe and understand why the thorn bush was not consumed. And the mystery is revealed that it is because the Messenger of God dwelt within the midst of it. Grace reigns over the Bush through the act of Christ being made a curse for us (Galatians 3:13; 2nd Corinthians 5:17-21). Therefore, though the fire of God blazed around the thorn bush that would normally and naturally be consumed, the phenomenon is seen that it was not consumed. And this is because of the efficacy of the work of Christ in becoming a curse for us. A glorious portrait of the mercies of God in Christ, the Messenger of the Covenant (Malachi 3:1) come to set Israel free from bondage. A miraculous vision of the promise of God fulfilled in the Messenger of God.Exodus 3:4"And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I."Moses turned to see this glorious vision, and what he saw was the glory of the gospel set forth in the imagery of the Burning Thorn Bush. And God calls out to him and explains that He is the Lord God, tells him that he stands on holy ground. Where does the ground receive its holiness? It is obviously from the same place that the Burning Bush does. From the holy Messenger of God who dwells within its midst. And He proceeds to tell Moses that He has seen the affliction of His people in bondage, and has come to deliver them. Thus the imagery of God the Saviour of man, by becoming the curse for us, is complete. The message that we should see here is that, because of this Angel (Messenger) of God in the midst of this thorn bush, it is not consumed by the fire.Galatians 3:13"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:"Christ has redeemed Israel from the curse brought about by the fall. Because in being made a curse for us, He has ransomed us, having stood in our place (Matthew 20:28; 1st Timothy 2:6) hanging on a tree and taking upon Himself our sins, He suffered the wrath of God redeeming us from that curse. For it is written, cursed is anyone that hangs on a tree (Deuteronomy 21:22-23). And it is this Messenger of God that sends Moses, as an appointed vessel, to deliver this good will toward His people Israel. This Messenger of the thorn Bush is its redemption, the promised glory and good will of God toward men (Luke 2:14), whereby they are not consumed by the consuming fire of God.Deuteronomy 33:16"And for the precious things of the earth and fullness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren."The good will of Him who dwelt within the Bush is toward God's people Israel (Matthew 1:21-23) ransomed, to the glory of God. What Moses saw was the miracle of the similitude of the work of Jesus Christ, and Him crucified, making the curse of no effect to His people. In other words, they are not burned up in God's consuming fire because He broke the curse of the law for them. The text of Exodus doesn't say the Bush spoke to Moses, it says God speaks from out of the midst of the Bush. And I believe that it is the same picture as when God speaks from out of the midst of the Church, or out of the midst of the Holy Temple or from the midst of His Disciples. The same portrait of Christ in the midst of His Church.
Why is the burning bush not being consumed?
The thorn bush is not consumed as a token or sign to Israel signifyingf the people of God, under the curse because of the fall, shall notr be consumed by the fire of God because of the Angel (Messenger) of the Lord who dwells within the midst of them. The curse of God is represented by thorns and thistles, which are the pricks of thorn bushes: Genesis 3:17-18 "And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;" Thorns and thistles are not the original and natural fruit of the earth, but were part of the curse of God brought forth by the corruption of man in sin. Mankind that is under this curse of God and is often pictured as the thorn (Numbers 33:55; Jeremiah 4:3-4; Matthew 13:7) and bramble bushes that are the adversaries of the children of God. At the day of judgment, they will all be gathered together and burned as stubble. Thus the imagery revealed as the vissage Moses sees of the thorn bush is of people of the curse redeemed from the curse by this Messenger of the Lord. All others under this curse will be consumed by the fiery wrath of God. Even as the wicked men who accosted the Apostle Paul were spoken of as thorns of the flesh (2nd Corinthians 12:7), who were the messengers of Satan sent to beat him. That is what unsaved man is symbolically. They are fuel for the fire. But here in Exodus the Lord is about to set Covenant Israel free from the curse of bondage in Egypt, which is also a type of the redemptive work of Christ. And this is the perfect opportunity for God to reveal the mystery of how a consuming fire does not consume the thorn bush symbolizing the curse. Moses takes careful note of this God breathed phenomenon, and something particular sparks his curiosity. Exodus 3:3 "And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt." Note again exactly why Moses was curious. It was because the bush was in the midst of the fire, and yet "it was not burnt or being consumed" by the fire. He was so fascinated by this that he had to find out why the thorn bush is not consumed. In his example of turning, God wants us to turn, observe and understand why the thorn bush was not consumed. And the mystery is revealed that it is because the Angel (Messenger) of God dwelt within the midst of it. Grace reigns over the Bush through the act of Christ being made a curse for us (Galatians 3:13; 2nd Corinthians 5:17-21). Therefore, though the fire of God blazed around the thorn bush that would normally and naturally be consumed, the phenomenon is seen that it was not consumed. And this is because of the efficacy of the work of Christ in becoming a curse for us. A glorious portrait of the mercies of God in Christ, the Messenger of the Covenant (Malachi 3:1) of Israel, come to set God's people free from spiritual bondage. A miraculous vision of the promise of God fulfilled in the Messenger of God. Exodus 3:4 "And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I." Moses turned to see this glorious vision, and what he saw was the glory of the gospel set forth in the imagery of the Burning Thorn Bush. And God calls out to him and explains that He is the Lord God, tells him that he stands on holy ground. Where does the ground receive its holiness? It is obviously from the same place that the Burning Bush does. From the holy Messenger of God who dwells within its midst. And He proceeds to tell Moses that He has seen the affliction of His people in their bondage, and has come to deliver them. Thus we see the imagery of God, the Saviour of man, by becoming the curse for us, complete. The message that we have here ius that because of this Messenger of God in the midst of this thorn bush, it is not consumed by the fire. Galatians 3:13 "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us.." Christ has redeemed Israel from the curse brought about by the fall. Because in being made a curse for us, He has ransomed us that we are not consumed. Daniel 3:24-27 "Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them." The servants of the Lord had no harm done to them by the fire because they had the son of God, the Messenger of the Covenant dwell within the midst of them there. It was because the Son of God dwelt in the midst of them that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were not consumed by the fire. And just as the Lord appearing in the midst of this fire illustrated that it was by His presence they are not consumed (Daniel 3:28), so our Lord appears in the midst of the Bush because it represents His servants that were under the curse, will not be consumed because of God's Covenant. Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Wherever you find the election, there you will find the Lord speaking from out of the midst of them. Herein we find the hidden wisdom kings, those who reign, have searched out and found (Proverbs 25:2) the hidden treasures. They do not learn that the furnace of Nebuchadnezzar wasn't hot enough to burn Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They glean that it was because in the midst of them Dwelt their Lord and Saviour. Therefore they were not consumed by the fire. The same spiritual portrait of Exodus and what the Burning Bush represents in relationship to Moses and the deliverance of Israel.
Who was moses supposed to tell the people sent him?

When did god first reveal his name as Yahweh?
Most likely it was right after Adam's creation. His relationship with Jehovah God was close enough so that it would make sense that He would tell him what His name was. (Genesis 2:15; 3:8-9) After Adam and Eve sinned and had children, the scriptures make it clear that they knew who Jehovah was since they started "calling upon" His name. (Genesis 4:26) (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)
How did Moses first encounter God?
God appears to Moses in a burning bush. Moses sees a bush which burns without being consumed - a symbol of the presence of God which defies usual human experience of things. And he hears a voice which calls him by his own name (Exodus 3:4)
How did moses react to the burning bush?
The burning bush was the manifestation of God in physical form. God did not actually appear to Moses in the burning bush, but spoke to him from the flames. The angel appeared to Moses:Exodus 32- And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 5And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 6Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.The burning bush was not God appearing to Moses in a physical form. The Angel of Jehovah was. once again if you follow through with the theme of the Angel of Jehovah you will see He is not in the order of created beings but that He was indeed the true Manifestation of Jehovah God. No where in the book of Exodus is the Angel of Jehovah quoted as saying anything but we can conclude He was doing all the talking. When Jehovah God said He speaks to Moses face to face as with a man, the Angel was speaking to Him. The Angel was in the cloud:Exo 14:19 And the Angel of God withdrew, the One going before the camp of Israel. And He went behind them. And the pillar of cloud withdrew from before them, and it stood behind them.How do we know that this Angel is Jehovah?In verse 24Exo 14:24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch, Jehovah looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,The burning bush was the place that Jehovah spoke from in the form of the Angel of Jehovah and He also appeared to Moses in that form. The burning bush was not an appearance of Jehovah but merely the place that got Moses attention.Num 14:14 And they will say to the one living in this land, They have heard that You, Jehovah, are in the midst of this people, who is seen eye to eye. You are Jehovah, and Your cloud stands over them; in a pillar of cloud You go before them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

What is the summary of exodus chapters 3?
Moses sees a burning bush, and the bush called out to him telling him He is the God of his father. God tells Moses that he has seen the misery of his people in Egypt and is sending Moses to Pharaoh to bring His people out of Egypt. God promises Moses that he will be with him as Moses tells the people who God is and Moses will "plunder the Egyptians". Moses thinks of excuses so he wouldn't be the one to tell Pharaoh to let His people go. The first being, that he is nobody and he can't go up against Pharaoh and the second, that no one will believe him so what should he call God.
What are the 7 exact biblical quotes for when Moses climbed Mt. Sinai?
Moses' initial conversations with Yahweh on the mount...In Exodus, Chapter 19, the Lord calls to Moses while he is in the Desert of Sinai.(1) Exodus 19.3: "Then Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain [Sinai] and said, 'This is what you are to say to the house of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel.'"After this, Moses went back down to the people to deliver the message. It is written the people agree to the covenant.(2) Exodus 19.8.C: "... So Moses brought their answer back to the Lord."Once Moses had returned Israel celebrated and the Lord set a time for them to hear Him. Moses brought Israel to the foot of the mountain and the Lord covered the mountain with fire and smoke.(3) Exodus 19.20: "The Lord descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses went up..."While there, Moses is asked to go back and bring Aaron up the mountain to meet with the Lord. In 19.25 we are told Moses returns to the people. This is the end of Chapter 19. Now the beginning of Chapter 20 is the first issuing of the 10 commandments by the Lord. This implies a return visit by Moses but has no direct quote.Moses' introduction to the covenant…Beginning in Chapter 24 Moses is asked to worship with a few other leaders near the holy place. He is instructed to come up again to the Lord alone. There he received the covenant for the first time.(4) Exodus 24.13: "Then Moses set out with Joshua his aide, and Moses went up into the mountain of God."In the mountain Moses is covered by a cloud and awaits the Lord for 7 days. When the Lord arrived it looked like fire consumed the mountain. Moses remained for 40 days and 40 nights in the Lord's presence. To the Israelites below it looked as though Moses was gone, which leads into their turning from Yahweh and building false idols. Moses' next visit is sparked by his coming to God on their behalf; an expedition intended to intercede for them.(5) Exodus 32.31-32: "So Moses went back to the Lord and said, 'Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold. But now, please forgive their sin-but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.'"Moses' final trips into the mountain…After breaking the tablets of the law, God tells Moses to come back up with two new tablets.(6) Exodus 34.4: "So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the Lord had commanded him; and he carried the stone tablets in his hands."
