39; vi. What a guard this was against the misuse of outward forms! For instance, a man knows perfectly well that he has no right to steal. It's yours." 1. Wherein lay the superior propriety of Deuteronomy to furnish answers at that juncture for Christ, as compared with any other book of scripture? We know well how the family is apt to trench on generous feeling, and how it is apt to shut itself up to no more or better than a refined selfishness. The word of God tests whether he submits to it, whether he lives on it, whether he delights in it, whether his meat is to do the will of God as the Lord Jesus proved His meat was. Where else can be found such jealous care as this? cxliii. If truth be abandoned, it indicates the power of Satan as the source, and not the true God. Thus then the circumstances of Moses, as well as of the people, were precisely those suited to impress the lesson of obedience. Tempting God was to doubt Him, as many, all of us, are apt to do. These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side of the Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Suph, between Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab. Is this what you read? And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. Ver. Therefore it was that, when God told them to go up, they refused and suffered the consequence of their disobedience. Prayer Points for Prosperity. will be blessed. 1. 16); yet it has pleased his majesty to reveal himself to us in his word, so far as our weak capacity can best conceive him. Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh "hereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. His fame and prolonged obscurity made his enemies anxious for him to again expose himself in their midst. Still it is too solemn to admit of what is so buoyant, which has its own proper exercise. 9. All this was now closed. What is meant by a moral law is that which one can pronounce on from within even without a prescription from God. That was a tragedy of failure on their part and it was a failure of faith. The spring of obedience was wanting. Praying through Deuteronomy 6:7 . 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. Accordingly the majority of expositors take the record in Exodus for the exact one, supposing that, as Moses was speaking to the people in the latter case, he recited from memory, not from the tables of stone, and therefore there is some variation of terms. [It was now eighteen months since Jesus had visited Jerusalem, at which time he had healed the impotent man at Bethesda. At the same time Moses, though well aware of this, reminds them of the real source of their misery, and of the judgment that had fallen on them from God. It represented that death which befell the Lamb, and arrested the judgment of God which had gone out against us because of sin. Nothing irritates me more than to have people make foolish charges against God.I was-had a young man come in when we were back over in the little chapel and he was you know, "God led me do this and God led me to do that and God led me here" and then he's, you know, "God led me out there and I almost starved to death. It did not alter their duty, if the antecedent history of Moab and Ammon, just as much as that of Esau, was far from good. They are cardinal elements of the teaching of the book and show that, as Baly has said, Palestine was, in fact, the Chosen Land for the Chosen People; not, it should be noticed, chosen by them, but chosen for them (p. We know well that, if God made known His acts unto Israel, He made His ways known unto Moses. But the same duty abides for them. Then comes out another instance. O. T. p. 65) says: "From Deuteronomy 10:8 it is plain that the Levites were not appointed at Sinai but later; whereas we learn fromNumbers 8:1-26; Numbers 8:1-26. that their institution took place at Sinai." All the previous part prepares the way. Our mind will be upon the fleshly things continually; What shall we eat? What was meant by this? He quotes accordinglyPsalms 91:1-16; Psalms 91:1-16, intimating to Jesus that, if He were the Son of God, all He had to do was to throw Himself from the pinnacle of the temple; and all must endorse His claims. For so long I tried to deliver myself, ended in failure. This is pursued to the end of the chapter, with the institution of the cities where the manslayer might find refuge. They did not have a personal memory of the horrible bondage in Egypt. Nobody likes this. May the Lord give us hearts to rejoice in all His, grace and truth and glory! This makes the principle at stake to be felt the more. A summary of the address is given in the chapter-headings usually found in English Bibles. The trip from Egypt to Sinai was only preparation for the giving of the covenant. A fair question arises for those who honour the divine word, why events so long severed in time are thus introduced seemingly together. Edomites or Moabites or Ammonites, unfeeling and disposed to injure Israel, still God would educate His people in remembering whatever bond of nature there was: if blows came, God would not forget the delinquent. Accordingly this is the solemn and central truth that is brought in here. Gifted by God (ver. We have to consider whether we are undertaking it out of some human desire of heroism. ). So it is that the New Testament gives us the failure of the apostle Peter, not merely at the beginning but in the very midst of his career. Father in Heaven, I ask for your blessings . (Gen. Xlix. 3) and dwelling in inaccessible light (1 Tim. Moses began his recital of Israels history at Horeb (Sinai) because this is where Yahweh adopted the nation by making the Mosaic Covenant with her. Not surprisingly, they were defeated and driven back into the wilderness (41-46). "On comparing the decalogue as recorded inExodus 20:2-17; Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21, it will be observed, "1. They were not compelled to take this to the one place that God had consecrated. So it habitually is where the faith is real; but nature is not yet judged root and branch. See Romans 8:15. The first and introductory address of Moses to the people is here commenced. Every motive of gratitude and compassion should urge us to it. The truth is that the difference is due to moral development of Israel according to Jehovah's wisdom on the eve of introducing His people into the land, and the more settled and social habits He would have them cultivate there. "And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep and do them." the relation of the inner motives for the sending of the spies. It probably covers the last month and a half of Moses' life. When God commands us to go forward in our Christian course he sets the heavenly Canaan before us for our encouragement. There is another peculiarity in the book of Deuteronomy which it is well to present briefly before we descend to particulars; it supposes the failure of the people. It was by this Scripture that the Lord, as we know, repelled the first temptation of the adversary. In Psalms it says, "And they limited the holy one of Israel by their unbelief" ( Psalms 78:41 ). Sihon rushed on them to his own ruin; and only so did Israel smite and dispossess the king of Heshbon. In the Temple at the Feast of Tabernacles. Now he dwells chiefly on their part in the matter, confessing his own inability to cope with their great increase, which ho touchingly entreats God to swell a thousand times, but withal urges on the rulers to judge righteously. For although there were flocks and herds led into the wilderness with the children of Israel at the command of Jehovah, and they may have added more from enemies they conquered, the fact just now referred to meets and removes a host of objections raised about it, and proves that the nature of these ordinances has not been understood. Is there anything so wholesome! 24; 2 Cor. ^d 11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? Consequently, when Christianity began, the first day of the week was made the distinguishing mark, the Lord's-day, and not the sabbath. Now, there is the coming out of the old life, being delivered from the old life, and this new relationship that we experience with God, learning to walk by faith, as we are setting aside the things of the flesh life and are beginning this new walk in the spirit. Prayer Point #4: Pray for God's will to be done. Not any ordinary fleshly sin on our part, as many suppose. (1) Et non sans cause; and not without reason. This was their boast. 24; 2 Cor. The date of this sermon which Moses preached to the people of Israel. The essential revelation of God to us is the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost the Father displayed by the Son, and made known by the Spirit. The people of Israel had nearly completed their 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. It ought most of all to shock the Christian. Yet He joins its observance with prohibitions of evil which man could himself judge. a. The truth is that the solemn circumstances appear to recall to the mind of Moses the awful lapse of Israel when "they made the calf which Aaron made," and Levi, of odd perfidious to the stranger for a sister's sake, consecrated themselves to Jehovah in the blood of their idolatrous brethren; and Moses hews at Jehovah's command tables of stone like the first, and put them, written as before, in the ark which he had made. "So it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed from among the people, that Jehovah spake unto me, saying, Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day: and when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them." One of the most weighty duties is not properly a moral question at all, but depends simply on the commandment of God. ^b 12 And ^a 18 Now ^b on the morrow [on the Monday following the triumphal entry], ^a in the morning ^b when they were come out from Bethany, ^a as he returned to the city [Jerusalem], he hungered. In Deuteronomy 4:1-49 we find another line of things. And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore: meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land; no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given Mount Seir unto Esau for a possession." Indeed he could not have written either in its present form, because that in Exodus is Jehovistic, and older than the record in Deuteronomy. In Deuteronomy 8:1-20 we have quite a different character. Consequently it is an anticipation of what was before them. Deuteronomy 31:1 "And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel." "Moses went and spake": Though some interpreters view this verse as the conclusion to the foregoing address in (chapters 29-30), it is better to see these words as an introduction to the words of Moses which follow, based upon the general pattern of Deuteronomy. And here the people were making this blasphemous accusation; "because God hates us, he brought us out here". But Satan as usual tampered with the plain written word, alike with its letter and its spirit; for after "to keep thee" he omitted "in all thy ways." This he tried to conceal from One, all whose ways were obedience, venturing to insinuate what a noble demonstration of His Messiahship it would be. Now in Numbers it doesn't tell us that they came to Moses to request these spies, but in Deuteronomy is adding a little bit more detail than he gave in the book of Numbers. But Israel is called to action. He did not just write Deuteronomy for the generation of Israelites about to enter the Promised Land but for later generations as well, including our generation. We need further insight to think the right way and make right life decisions. Not at all, but His own people. 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. Such is the point here in the seventh chapter. This then is the leading truth of Deuteronomy. Let us now look at the details as far as it can be done in so brief a glance as we can afford to give it at present. I have called it therefore an abstract typical system; for the value of it does not at all depend on the fidelity of the people to it. 6. Was anything like this the rule where man even took up the Bible for his own ends? It is exactly so here. We recognize that a part of the wilderness experience was legitimate. ( Romans 7:24 ). 8. Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount.--From the beginning of the second month of the first year of the exodus (Exodus 19:1) to the twentieth day of the second month of the second year (Numbers 10:11).This was the period of organisation, in which the people received the . Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount.From the beginning of the second month of the first year of the exodus (Exodus 19:1) to the twentieth day of the second month of the second year (Numbers 10:11). W. McGarveyThe Four-Fold Gospel, In the Temple at the Feast of Tabernacles. Kadesh. This then is the crucial test, so to speak, which Moses applies throughout; this is the homily; for indeed Deuteronomy we may call a book of divine homilies in this respect. For instance, it is not everybody that is called to serve God in a public way; nor is everyone called to take a particular step or course which might involve him in trouble and persecution. It was God who made the family rejoice, and they were to go out to those that were strangers to it. The time was near the end of the fortieth year since they came out of Egypt. He had compromised Him at a critical occasion, and could not but feel that so it was. We are studying Deuteronomy 6:1-9 for Sunday, December 2. It extends to Deuteronomy 4:40; and is divided from the second discourse by the Deu 1:4 :41-49. Consequently there is here a heavy blow struck at the tendency towards idolatry. In Deuteronomy 5:14 is the addition, 'thine ox nor thine ass,' as well as the clause, 'that thy man-servant and thy maid-servant may rest as well as thou.' III. Which the Holy Scripture called "The hill-country of Judah," Joshua 21:11; Luke 1:39. "Your eyes have seen what Jehovah did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, Jehovah thy God hath destroyed them from among you. This supposes a heart that knows God; and certainly so it is with Moses. Indeed He found His moral glory in this very fact, that He alone of all men that ever lived never in a single particular swerved from that which after all is the sweetest, loveliest, highest thing in man here below absolute devotedness to another, doing the will of His God and Father. I`m blessed into my down sitting and I`m blessed into my uprising! These were solemn words to bring before the minds of Israel just about to enter into the good land. ( Romans 7:24 ). In growing up as children, they weren't as aware of the hazards of the wilderness.And so Moses is sort of recounting for them. God says, then, that enough time had been spent in one place; (1) for, before they left it, an entire year had passed away there. It is not therefore a question of how far the offerings, etc. Our adversaries? God had laid it out and said, "Here it is. And it is obvious, beloved friends, obedience depends on this that we really do what God commands us now that we are doing what is suitable to our present position and state. Moses mentions how the saying pleased him: here things are stated exactly as they were. And the grand principle too we may just notice in passing: Jehovah reminds them by Moses that He had allowed much while they were in the wilderness which could not be tolerated now (ver. They were only tenants, and had to pay Him rent. On the other hand, there is no mercy but ruthless severity always served out to those who refuse to fraternise, not to speak of ceaseless enmity to those who condemn and oppose. Accordingly the very large introduction is an address to the people for the purpose of enforcing these claims. Moses called Mt. We are also shown the astonishing patience of Jehovah, and with that which might be difficult to understand if we did not look to the moral scope of the book the destruction of the first tables, the writing out of fresh ones, and the place in which they were to be kept. It was very important, therefore, that these men judge fairly (Deuteronomy 1:17). Then in Deuteronomy 13:1-18 there is a similar line, all these early injunctions being what we may call religious statutes. Again, in Deuteronomy 5:16 two new clauses are supplied, 'and that it may go well with thee,' and 'as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee.' 30.) And so often the good that he wanted to do, he couldn't do and the evil he didn't want to do was the thing that he was doing until he found himself in just a miserable, wretched state. British Library, Harleian MS. 5596. Its moral turns on this the only possible way of maintaining relationship with God, namely, obedience; what the nature of that obedience is, and how it is modified; how God graciously takes into account the weakness of those brought into this relationship, and how He provides for His own glory in it. In Deuteronomy 10:1-22 we find the provision of Jehovah's goodness is stated in a very striking way. 3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them; 4 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei: 5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, 6 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. If a person takes what does not belong to him, every man, even a heathen, can judge it. "Jehovah said unto me, Fear not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. In Deuteronomy 6:1-25 we find the first of those texts which our Lord quotes. Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them. "Jehovah God that hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt" He was the only God. This is a universal and abiding principle. God wants to bring you on into the walk of the spirit and the life of the spirit and a life that is dominated by the spirit. Ver. 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 Lord our God spoke to us at Horeb, saying, You have stayed long enough at this mountain. Now this is a foolish charge that they brought against God and it is something that we oftentimes are prone to do. Hey, it's time to go in and begin to possess that which God has promised unto you." So is it with the Church, when she concentrates her attention too exclusively on her own spiritual improvement, and forgets her mission to the world. Deuteronomy, spite of its Septuagintal title, is no such repetition; but the Spirit of God by Moses has given us, along with special moral exhortation, such types as bear on the position of the people on the very edge of the promised land. There is the peril of religion becoming a species of enjoyment. *Dr. Davidson (Introd. Let me just refer to this for a moment longer, lest there should be any mistake about what appears to me to be the truth about it. I said, "Hey, you shut up and get out of here. Is it not a beautiful indication of what the true God is, even in His least institutions? We now begin to understand a little of the very beginning of God's Book--of the times in which it was written, the materials used by its first author, and the different kinds of writing from which he had to choose; but we must go a step farther. Monday, April 4, a.d. THE CHURCH'S DESTINY - to possess the land. 4; iv. "I will not give you of their land." Posted 11:47 pm by & filed under can you fly with pericarditis. It would not be good for us always to be in this state of simple receiving. They would have further proof of Gods unfailing goodness when they saw the rich land God was giving them. II. Now get moving. So he's getting up there now, about a hundred and twenty years old. It is the king's mountain." In comparing the allegorical Canons of Philo with those of Jewish traditionalism, we think first of all of the seven exegetical canons which are ascribed to Hillel. These bear chiefly the character of logical deductions, and as such were largely applied in the Halakhah. These seven canons were next expanded by R. Ishmael (in the first century) into thirteen, by the analysis of one of them (the 5th) into six, and the addition of this sound exegetical rule, that where two, Ver. i. We see that what has been remarked is just what is expressed in this verse: "And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only," (what exercise of faith was there in that?) This is the grand pith of the chapter as it appears to me. It is a different thing however with the book of Deuteronomy; and this was my reason for remarking it at this point. Obedience is the real spring of blessing, as disobedience is the sure pathway of ruin. God went before you to find the place for you to pitch your tents. Plainly then the savage knows quite well that it is unjustifiable to steal. "6. So they began the forty years of wandering in the wilderness, which Moses begins to rehearse for them in chapter two. We shall find more than that before we have done with the book of Deuteronomy, though we may in this lecture not look fully at a special character of it which is presented in the latter part of the book, where it will be proved that the New Testament also uses it in a very striking manner. And Jehovah spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words" because they were called to obey "but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice. Israel's stay at the mount was good while it lasted. Such is the fertile topic which we find throughout the book. The acknowledgment in a creed is all well; but when it comes to be the truth for one's own soul, stamping its value on our communion and also on our ways, men at once retreat back into some "dim religious light," where it is all forgotten and lost, merely owned verbally, but without power for the heart and life. It is not the death of Christ with all its solemn, however blessed, issues. God will lift to the highest level that you will allow Him to lift you and do the best for you on that level, but the work of God in our lives is always limited by us. Many of them did not see the miracle of the Red Sea being parted. (October, a.d. It is not merely "thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto Jehovah thy God with a tribute of free-will offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give, according as Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee," but "seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah shall choose: because Jehovah thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the increase of thine hands; therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.". It was to be a real fealty: it was not merely a dogma pure and simple, but to be known as a fact. And I'm making all of these vows and I'm doing my best to bring my flesh into conformity to God and to God's will, but I find this perverse law that Paul found working. Jehovah their God did not make Himself visible to them by a similitude. NOTE: This edition of this sermon is taken from an earlier published edition of Spurgeon's 1857 message. What God lays on one He does not necessarily enjoin on another. The Lord puts no weapon of a kind to injure any into our hands; but bids us leave vengeance with himself. What God had done in the past, he could continue to do in the future. Of course it is, God went before you and prepared you that place and then led you to it so that they could say, "All the way my savior leads me. The quotation is from Dennis Baly, The Geography of the Bible.]. The man who said, "Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest," had no faith at all. "3. What God was displaying by them has now found its meaning, since Christ was revealed and the mighty work of redemption effected. The heritage of the descendants of Jacob shall be restored unto thee!" After the praise and worship session, go with your prophetic sword into battle using these 13 prayer points for DAY 6. Heavenly Father, Help us to faithfully obey Your voice and being careful to do all that You command, today and in the future. At the same time it is in no way opposed to the strictest views of inspiration to hold that the law was edited by an inspired man, whether Ezra (according to the Jews, as Josephus, etc.) In a certain sense it might be a season too good and deep for joy. I. He was a descendant of Aaron, and belonged to one of the wealthiest and most influential families among the Jewish merchant-princes of Egypt. Surely this again makes it too plain to call for many words of ours to demonstrate what Moses, or rather God Himself, has in view in all these chapters. "Now therefore hearken, O Israel." ii. Appendix ii. We now begin to understand a little of the very beginning of God's Book--of the times in which it was written, the materials used by its first author, and the different kinds of writing from which he had to choose; but we must go a step farther. And this is enforced in the very words which our Saviour employed. We see from this that it is mere ignorance to suppose that there is not a divine system in the book; and this is more remarkable, I think, in Deuteronomy, if possible, than in the preceding books. "Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as Jehovah my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. Moses himself had the deepest sense of the situation, but in no way as one who distrusted Jehovah, for he had well learned to count on His love. To what were they always inclined? *Dr. D. (Introd. God had cared for them throughout the long and weary journey from Mount Sinai (Horeb), carrying them as a father carries his young son who has become too tired to walk.
