11. L. Moyer, Il.D. ' He shall cover thee with his leathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust (Psa. 91:4). This peculiar phrase concerning the wings and feathers of God has reference, we believe, to the cherubim in the tabernacle, I will abide in the taber¬ nacle for ever; I will trust in the covert of thy wings (Psa. 61:4). In the Holy of Holies were two golden cherubim, with their outstretched wings meeting to cover the mercy seat. Figures of cherubim were embroidered on the beau¬ tiful veil which was hung in the tabernacle, and they were also embroidered on the first covering of the tabernacle which formed the ceiling and hung down the sides. When a priest went into the tabernacle, his eyes rested on the outstretched wings of the cherubim everywhere, There were scores of them. Once a year the high priest entered the Holy of Holies and gazed upon the golden cherubim over the ark of the covenant Under their wings was sprinkled the blood of the sacrifice which formed the basis for all of God s blessings upon men. In some way the cherubim symbolized God, he nce their wings are called the wings of God, The wings of eagles or birds might give a conception or illustration of the Divine care depicted in this especially tender way. PROTECTION FROM WRATH Sir Robert Anderson, in speaking of the Passover, suggests that the word ought to be translated ’’hover over rather than passover. He says the picture is not one of God passing over the blood-sheltered home, but hover¬ ing over it to protect it from the judgment of death, even as a bird hovers over her nest to protect the young. This figure the Lord used when He said to Jerusalem, How often would I have gathered thy children together as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, but ye would not. Without the shelter of His wings Israel suffered the wrath of God which He would so gladly have borne for them It is in Christ that we are delivered from that fiery wrath. A man, walking through a hot, burned-over section left desolate by a North¬ ern Minnesota forest fire, came upon the dead body of a hen which had per¬ ished in the blaze. He kicked over the charred body, when, to his amaze¬ ment, from beneath the wings ran live little yellow chicks. These little chicks had been sheltered from the flames by the wings of the mother. This is a finite illustration of how we are saved by the One Who bore the fiery sweep of God J s wrath for us, PROTECTION FROM CALAMITIES In Psa, 57:1 David uses the figure of wings again: In the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. Saul was threatening the life of David when he wrote these words; but David had a refuge—the wings of God. Great as was David ' s danger, it certainly was not greater than that of those who are under the threat of Satan. Little chicks cluster under the canopy pinions of their sheltering parent when the hawk endangers. Little fledglings of the barnyard run quickly under the mother ' s wings when the storm comes. From all the foes and storms which assail every Christian—the Lord lovingly extends protection. Satan may point his darts, Aiming them at my life; Striving to poison all my joys, Tempting to sin and strife; Still, in the shadow of Thy wings, Nestles my soul in peace and sings Hiding in Thee, dear Lord, in Thee; Ever in Thee, in Thee. « 17 -
