Ministry on This Verse

 “Let Me alone that I may consume them in a moment.” This is the language of pure and inflexible justice. Immediate destruction is the work of justice. Full and final preservation is the glorious and characteristic work of divine grace — grace reigning through righteousness. Had God dealt in mere justice with the people, His name would not have been declared, inasmuch as there is far more in His name than justice. There is love, mercy, goodness, kindness, longsuffering, deep and unfailing compassion. But none of these things could be seen had the people been consumed in a moment, and hence the name of Jehovah would not have been declared or glorified. Isa. 48:9-11 (Numbers 16 by C.H. Mackintosh)
