Put off Shoes From (feet). (Acts 7:33, Ex 3:5): “Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.” It is crucial to note the scriptural stream in the passage, which is God prophesying that He will bring the children of Israel out of Egypt. That is, let no artificial covering, no unauthentic faith, no humanly produced religious motivation or means, come between the believer and the source of the real and ordained transcendent kinds. Nothing artificial will come between man’s moral demeanor and God’s, demonstrated by his Word, or what God promises and fulfills.
The shoe is the artificial exegetical, theological, philosophical, doctrinal covering, or anything man busies himself with of Scripture which is not that prophetic utterance itself. The same figure is used in Genesis 3 with fig leaves, the requirement of the Nazarite not to shave the head, and the natural unhewn stone leading up to the altar of sacrifice.
