Did any other nation ever experience God coming down on a mountain with fire and glory like Israel did at Mount Sinai?
No. No other nation of people ever experienced God coming down on a mountain with thunder, fire, and glory as Israel did at Mount Sinai. Scripture's reminder in Deuteronomy emphasizes that no other people on earth had ever experienced it and lived, but Israel did.
Les teaches that Deuteronomy's reminder makes the contrast clear: no other nation had ever experienced the mountain on fire as Israel did at Sinai, nor had any people experienced God coming down with thunder, fire, and His glory and lived—only Israel did. Les also points to Solomon's temple, where God's Shekinah glory filled the house so the priests dared not intrude. He says you could visit every pagan temple, but you would find no evidence of that kind of invading glory. Israel alone experienced it.
