Exodus 3:2 (c) This expression is a picture of GOD's presence and power in the midst of Israel and also in the midst of His church. GOD's people are really blessed by His presence and are not destroyed.

Isaiah 40:16 (b) This wonderful passage tells us the story of the insufficiency of all man's sacrifice and offering. Lebanon is a mountain six miles wide and fifty miles long. It was covered with a very thick forest of trees of many kinds, principally cedars. It was a hunter's paradise, for the thick undergrowth harbored many kinds of wild animals. In this Scripture the Lord is telling us that if all the burnable materials on that mountain, trees, bushes, vines and grasses, were to be piled up to make one great bonfire and then if all the animals were killed and placed upon the top of that bonfire to be offered as a sacrifice to GOD, this would not be sufficient to put away the sins of Israel. The greatest thing that any man can do is not sufficient to save his soul. Only the sacrifice of the Lord JESUS CHRIST is sufficient to satisfy GOD's demands.

This was done in the case of the Canaanites, Philistines, Amalekites, Jebusites and other enemies of Israel. They have been blotted from the earth, and so far as we know there are no descendants to be found.
