Acts 7:31
"“When forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush."
Key Reflection
When forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to Moses in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire within a bush. For the original audience, this scene would evoke the immediate memory of God's initial revelation to Moses, setting the stage for the covenant between God and Israel—a theme that resonates throughout the Pentateuch and foreshadows subsequent events like the Exodus and the giving of the law on Mount Sinai.
