Surely this is very significant, and points out a manifest difference in the character and scope and design of the book of Deuteronomy as compared with Exodus. In the commandment to keep it Jehovah the God of Israel speaks to this effect: "Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the sabbath of Jehovah thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work." "4. (I stood between Jehovah and you at that time, to show you the word of Jehovah: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the Mount.)" ).

God said that He's not gonna deliver them into your hand" and how that they armed themselves anyhow and went up against the hill of the Amorites and were pursued by them. Listen, God'll take you all the way if you'll just believe Him and trust Him for it. The character of it was so solemn as scarce to admit of this. Whatever then the blows which fell on Sihon, or on Og, or on any of the others; whatever the ways of God with Moab and Ammon afterwards, or even with Egypt, there never was seen such unsparing strictness as with Israel. This is so decided that in the millennial age there will be a strict maintenance of that day with all the authority of God Himself, vested in and exercised by the Messiah governing Israel and the earth. Obedience is the real spring of blessing, as disobedience is the sure pathway of ruin. Did He offer him the book of the law with the one hand or the sword with the other? Therefore we can understand it as if He said, When you were in the strange country, when you left it in haste to wander here and there in the wilderness, there were great difficulties and many irregularities which cannot be allowed now. De 1:7 'Turn and set your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and to all their neighbors in the Arabah, in the hill country and in the lowland and in the Negev and .read more Scripture: Deuteronomy 1:6-8 Such was the genuine result of sending the spies.

Clearly it traces the discipline of Jehovah by the way. 8 "You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. Therefore, I must take a position of faith and recognize that the old nature, the life of the flesh, was crucified with Christ in order that I might now live after the new nature, the nature of Christ, and living now after the spirit. The same Spirit which has the power of miracle is the Spirit of truth and the Holy Spirit. The "Lord our God," "Jehovah our Elohim," is the watchword of the whole book. Boy, what a horrible thing to say.So, the people were discouraged and they said, The people are greater and taller than we are; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and we have seen the sons of the Anakims ( Deuteronomy 1:28 ). Such was the uniform walk of Jesus. 11). And mark this; that it is not only joy in the Lord, but calling others to joy (ver. 5; John iv. 2. [Note: Peter C. Craigie, The Book of Deuteronomy, p.

Hence therefore we see why it is that the first circumstance in their history brought before them was that God told them not to go up to the mountain of the Amorites; but they would go up in self-will and self-confidence, and utterly failed before their enemies. Then the bitter consequences came. This is the meaning of it, and such is precisely the path of duty. But the believer sees wisdom and grace in comparing the first historical statement with the solemn use the legislator makes to the generation about to enter the land, and the added information is of grave import. The mount of blessing and the mount of curse were there on the other side Jordan. Nobody likes this. Numbers 13:1-33 gives the fact when God warranted Moses to send the spies; Deuteronomy supplies the motives which wrought in the people to desire them. Was it not the pettishness of disobedient children, if ever there were such? It is the people repudiating the ways of the heathen, and consecrated to God. II.

But you are the one that puts the limitations on what God wants to do. And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone." But he found that there was another law, a perverse kind of a law, that whenever he would do good, evil was present with him. A few, however, think that the record in Deuteronomy is the more exact, because when Moses recorded the words in Exodus he had heard the decalogue pronounced; whereas, when he repeated it in Deuteronomy, it was in his hands, inscribed in permanent letters. Ah! So these are the words which Moses spake unto all of Israel on the side of Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea ( Deuteronomy 1:1 ). It is not correct therefore that the sabbath-day is done with: many people in Christendom think so; but I take the liberty of having a stronger view about the sabbath than even those who think themselves strongest. It is evident therefore, that this book has the most sensible difference from all that preceded it. It is no use talking about Israel: the first object is God.

Prayer Point #2: For The Body of Christ To Be In Unity and Walk In Love. *Nothing can be weaker than the harping on the phrase "the priests the Levites," as in the writings of Davidson and Colenso (following the superficial scepticism of foreign authors, who themselves followed the old Deists of our own country). We never can duly understand the Old Testament unless in the light of the New; and if there is anyone who is personally and emphatically "the light," need it be said that it is Jesus?

But the second feast brings out joy in a very distinct and delightful manner. our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we.". 5.

Although there were eleven days journey before them before they would arrive at Kadesh-barnea, nevertheless, lest anything should delay the people, who were naturally but too indolent, tie stimulates them by setting before them the ease with which it might be accomplished, telling them that they had but to lift up their feet and advance, in order to attain the promised rest. * It is a familiar point to many, but may claim a brief notice here, especially as all do not see its bearing in by no means the least striking of the ten words; I speak of the law of the sabbath. And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; 19. 2. All this then precedes another lesson.

It is the book which our Lord quotes in His temptations with Satan. Unless I am very much mistaken,--the maps of Adricomus, Tirinius, and others, ought to be corrected, which have feigned to, The readers of the eastern interpreters will observe, that Kadesh is rendered by all Rekam, or in a sound very near it. God must and does choose for Himself a simple yet most important consideration (ver. He was just being led by his own mind. Notice: 1. And I feel that the analogies that are to be made are that of the Christian walk and life and experience. And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto Jehovah thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto Jehovah thy God, according as Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee: and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son." Such moral motives as are added are therefore as appropriate in Deuteronomy as they could not, ought not to, be in Exodus.
