The Pillar of Cloud.
The Pillar of Cloud was a great Refreshment to the Children of Israel by Day, during their long Journey in the Wilderness, (the Sun in those Countries shining sometimes very hot) which might (had it not been for this Cloudy Pillar) have been very destructive or grievous to them, during so many Years Travels: So Jesus Christ, as Mediator, is as a Cloud or Screen between the hot Beams of God's Wrath, and poor Believers. 'Tis he who keeps us from being consumed by the Wrath of him,1 who is to the Wicked a Consuming Fire.
