It is impossible by any comment, even if written with the pen of an angel, to add any beauty to this most sublime passage. I retire from it therefore, and only beg the Reader, as he reads it, to connect with it what is uniformly said of Jesus. Surely the whole scriptures, with one concurring voice, speak of Him as the only visible Jehovah. And who that remembers Christ's transfiguration on the Mount, and compares it with what is said of glory here, can doubt but that it was a renewal of the same scene as at Sinai. Who that calls to mind Peter's observation at that vision, can question whether the same spirit did not rest upon him and his companions, James and John, as filled the mind of Moses? Compare Exodus 24:10 to the end, with Matthew 17:2-5 and 2 Peter 1:19.
Habakkuk 3:4-12
4 And his brightness was as the light; he had hornsc coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coalsd went forth at his feet.
6 He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.
7 I saw the tents of Cushane in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?
9 Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earthf with rivers.
10 The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.
11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the lightg of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.
12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.
