"Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him."
Here we have the word of God or the Law and he is not shown in his lonely splendour. He rides upon the heavens in v.8 we have the consequences of His power and majesty. "The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. The Spirit introduces specific names to which Sinai is but one example. "The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place." (v.17)
The Spirit is setting forth the holiness of God where the natural phenomena is with reference to God. What are the clouds but chariots as cited elsewhere, "(God)who maketh the clouds his chariot:" And he comes with the angels, 'as in Sinai, in the holy place; (104.3) As for the number we have reference in Dan.7.10 "thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened." What do these all up? We are looking at the worlds framed by the word of God where the divine Will is expressed so these in heaven shall agree with the earth, the world which is made to appear. Faith is the only language with which man can make sense of the Law. This is Word 'For ever, OLord, thy word is settled in heaven.' (119.89) In the previous post we examined wings of the dove, and we are in our vile bodies yet we shall be as one decked in a glorious body. "yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold."
Before the hills was I brought forth" (Prov.8.25) Before mount Sinai was formed it was in the divine Will and it is a symbol for the mountain of God which He represents. The stone cut not with hands consequently refers his Son whom he sent to the world. Similarly Israel is not literal Israel.
