Salmos 78:14 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:14

In the daytime also he led them with a cloud
Which was in the form of a pillar, and went before them, and the Lord in it, and directed their way, and protected them from heat; see ( Exodus 13:21 Exodus 13:22 ) ( Nehemiah 9:12 Nehemiah 9:19 ) this was typical of Christ, who is a shadow and security from the heat of a fiery law, the flaming sword of justice, the wrath of God, which is poured forth like fire, the fiery darts of Satan, and from hurt by any enemy whatever; see ( Isaiah 4:5 Isaiah 4:6 ) ( 25:4 ) , and who leads his people through the wilderness of this world by his Spirit, by his word, and by his own example; and who is the best and safest guide to follow:

and all the night with a light of fire;
which also was in the form of a pillar, and went before them, and gave light in the night, and the Lord was in it; and this also was typical of Christ, who is the light of his people amidst all their darkness in this world.

Salmos 78:14 In-Context

12 de los milagros que hizo para sus antepasados
en la llanura de Zoán, en la tierra de Egipto.

13 Partió en dos el mar y los guió a cruzarlo,
¡mientras sostenía las aguas como si fueran una pared!

14 Durante el día los guiaba con una nube,
y toda la noche, con una columna de fuego.

15 Partió las rocas en el desierto para darles agua
como de un manantial burbujeante.

16 Hizo que de la roca brotaran corrientes de agua,
¡y que el agua fluyera como un río!
