Psalm 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.

Psalm 78:14 In-Context

12 Delante de sus padres hizo maravillas En la tierra de Egipto, en el campo de Zoán.

13 Rompió la mar, é hízolos pasar; E hizo estar las aguas como en un montón.

14 Y llevólos de día con nube, Y toda la noche con resplandor de fuego.

15 Hendió las peñas en el desierto: Y dióles á beber como de grandes abismos;

16 Pues sacó de la peña corrientes, E hizo descender aguas como ríos.
