Good morning; today we are reading from Deuteronomy 24 up to 34, the end of Deuteronomy. Today's reading begins with a man divorcing his wife.
Even though this was written by Moses, Jesus came in the flesh and reversed this saying a man cannot divorce his wife because they were made one in the beginning; thus they remain together.
Moses put this in because of the hardness of the men's heart and they were abusing their wives; so it was the lessor of the evils to command a divorce.
Deuteronomy 25 mainly talks about if a brother passes and one had no child that the brother that live
s shall give seed unto the wife of the brother that passed; to keep his name alive in the land of Israel. Chapter 26 reminds Israel to remember to give the first and best fruits unto the Lord our God because Israel's father who was a Syrian (Abraham) went into Egypt and came out a populated people into a land flowing of milk and honey. Thus shall we do the commandments with all our heart and soul. Israel are a peculiar people and holy unto God forever.
If any man do any of these abominations in chapter 27, he shall b
e cursed and all the people shall say amen. 21Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.
26Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Deuteronomy 28 gives the curses and blessing in detail and it will identify who the children of Israel are today. If the children of Israel keep the commandments of God, they shall be blessed in the city and in the country, they will have healthy beautiful babies, the Lord will cause their enemies to be smitten, the Lord will bless their businesses, and establish them as a holy people.
All people will see they are called by the name of the LORD (Israel) and want to do as the children of Israel do to attain the blessings they receive; they shall lend to many nations and not borrow; and they shall be the head and not the tail; all this if they keep the commandments of the Lord. But if they do not keep the commandments, cursed they shall be in the city and in the country, the fruit of their body, land, and cattle shall be cursed.
All they set their hand to do shall be cursed. They shall get diseases and sickness until they perish. Their enemies shall smite them and REMOVE them into all nations in the earth. The Lord will smite them with blindness, and no prosperity, they will not receive help from any man nor nation.
They will have a wife; but others will sleep with them. Their kids will go into slavery and they will have no might to do anything about it. They will build up lands for other nations and not get anything for it. The will be taken captive into other nations and in these nations they will serve other gods, wood and stone.
The stranger with thee will come up very high and Israel very low until they are destroyed because they simply didn't keep the commandments. 46And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
47Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
48Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
Husband and wife will be evil towards each other, and even unto her children (domestic violence high in who ever these people are today, and child neglect and abuse is highest in this group of people as well).
The Lord will bring all the diseases and evilness that He brought into Egypt. All this for not obeying the voice of the Lord. Israel will find no ease in the nations they are brought in and they will doubt and their life will hang in doubt also.
The Lord will bring them into Egypt again in ships and be sold into slavery as male and females again and no man shall buy them out of this slavery or captivity.
Egypt meant slavery to the children of Israel, not a literal return into Egypt. So in reading this chapter all we must do is find out which one Israel fell under, the blessings or the curses, and we can easily see who Israel is today.
In Deuteronomy chapter 29; it tells other nations why the land will be as it is and the people rooted out. It is because they did not keep the covenant the Lord set before Israel when He took them out of Egypt.
In chapter 30; after all the curses have happened (I guess the Lord predicted they will transgress against Him); and they are in the countries where He scattered them and they seek the Lord, then He will RETURN, and gather them from all the countries they are captive in.
3That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
Israel was reminded that the Word is very near to them; and Moses set before the children of Israel life and death, good and evil that they should choose life and live. 19I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
In chapter 31, Moses gets ready to pass the torch to Joshua to take the people into the land and gives more admonition to fear God and keep His laws and commandments.
15And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.
16And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
17Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?
18And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.
19Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
I had to place these scriptures in here that you may know that God knew the children of Israel will rebel against Him and He would have to chastise them. And He gave them a song that will testify against them; and Moses wrote the song and gave it to Israel.
26Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.
27For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?
Moses knew that they would be evil after he died because they were so rebellious while he was yet alive.
In chapter 32 the song God had Moses give to Israel; it is a detailed song of what God is and how He operates; it is a great song about the Lord. Moses was told to go up into the Mt Abarim in the land of Moab and view the land; in that mount; and there he will die.
Moses was king over Israel (unofficial king), and high priest, he was the prototype of Jesus unto this people as Jesus will be to this people Israel, and to the world. Thus making Jesus the prophet like unto Moses...
In chapter 34; the Lord shows the land to Moses: 5So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
6And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
7And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
8And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
No prophet has rose in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord dealt with face to face. Moses was indeed a great prophet unto the Lord. So great that the Lord buried Moses Himself. He didn't want anyone to deal with his body.
Thus our reading of the first five books are completed (in 15 days) and really we've read the bible because Moses covered everything we need; but the rest of the bible gives details and testimonials that Moses was indeed true and a true man of God in his dealings.
I thank you for reading and we will resume tomorrow in Joshua 1 through chapter 14, with the ventures of Israel under the hand of God and leadership of Joshua, Moses' successor. Peace and grace.
