I had to keep in mind that this is Exodus - part of the LAW of God. Yes he wants us to envision the thunder and lightning, being fearful and taking these words to be serious and important. No symbolism and prober teaching, just ten clear cut rules for a blue print on living, for living a faithful life.
But because we are human, we can never keep all the commandments because of our sinful nature. That is why the GRACE of GOD is so important. If we believe in God, he will forgive all our sins. This is the good message!
Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid; for God has come only to test you and to put the fear of him upon you so that you do not sin.”
