SANTIFY YOURSELF EXODUS 19:9-10

Isaiah 40:1 KJV Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint

Exodus 19:9-10 KJV 9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD. 10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,

Israel Meeting God: MOSES WAS TOLD TO SANTIFY THE PEOPLE. THIS MEANT GETTING THEM PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY READY TO MEET GOD. THE PEOPLE WERE TO SET THEMSELVES APART FROM SIN AND EVEN ORDINARY DAILY ROUTINE IN ORDER TO DEDICATE THEMSELVES TO GOD. THE ACT OF WASHING AND PREPARING SERVED TO GET THEIR MINDS AND HEART READY. WHEN WE MEET GOD FOR WORSHIP, WE SHOULD SET SIDE THE CARES AND PREOCCUPATION OF EVERY LIFE.

What is Sanctification? Sanctification has it own meaning from Greek: Hagiasmos meaning consecration, a separation unto God from profane, secular and carnal use to a sacred religious and spiritual life. Sin is not necessarily involved in sanctification because the word means setting apart. In the Bible, material things and Holy persons that are not sinful or that have no old man in them can be and have been sanctified. If sin is not involved in the person or thing set apart, then no sin is cleansed in the process of setting apart or material sin and filth are involved in a person or material things to be set apart unto God, then such must be dealt with to make it presentable to God

Material things have been sanctified without taking an old man (Satan, note f, 2Cor. 5:17) out of them: Bread (1Samuel 21:5) The tabernacle and its furniture (Exodus 29:43-30;29, Lev. 8:10-15) Priest Garment (Lev. 8:30) Houses and Lands (Lev. 27:9-29) Meat (1Timothy 4:3-5)

Solomon’s Temple and Furniture (2Chr. 7:16-20,29:17-19) Gate (Neh. 3:1) Mt. Sinai (Exodus 19:23) The Offerings (Exodus 29:27) Herod’s Temple (Matthew 23:17)

The same people were sanctified many times, so sanctification cannot be limited to one act. (Exodus 19:14, 22; 28-41; 29:33, 44; 30-29, Lev. 8:30) Man have sanctified themselves (Lev. 11:44, 20:7) Did they take an old man out of themselves? The same people that sanctified themselves (Lev. 11:44, 20:7) were also sanctified by Moses (Exodus 19:10-14) and by God (Exodus 29:43-44; 31:13, Lev. 20:8; 21:8; 15, 23, 22:9,16). Which one took the old man out?

Christ, (John 10:36) further sanctified Himself (John 17:17-19) even the Old Testament Saints, including the disciples, were sanctified.
