When God gathers Israel in the wilderness He declares to them that His name is jealous. God is bold about His jealousy, and understanding His jealousy is what enables us to understand the redemptive story. Redemption is ultimately the story of a jealousy God in total pursuit of what is His.
14(for you shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God), (Exodus 34:14 NKJV) In Exodus 34, God makes a solemn promise to Moses that He will do signs and wonders for Israel that have never been done for any nation (Exodus 34:0).
God made a promise to Moses in Exodus 34 that His redemptive plan would not climax in the events of the Exodus. He would confront the nations in power again in the future, only this time He would not only deal with one “Pharaoh” – He would confront all the nations of the earth with a greater display of power.
