If we have seen the object of all this part of Deuteronomy to be the enforcement of obedience, there is nothing which maintains obedience so much as redemption; and if that were the case when it was only an outward deliverance, how much more when it is eternal? 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." If people like to choose for themselves, as mere men, what an awful delusion it is to be choosing for God to be really governed by your own will in matters of religion! ( Romans 7:24 ). This therefore gives its tone to the book. He may not at all have understood at the moment what was working in the people; but all is told out. In the first section, i.-iv. In Deuteronomy 5:1-33 we come to still closer quarters. For when severed from Christ then those ordinances only became a snare to men. These seven canons were next expanded by R.

Man must not presume to choose. The intercession of Moses prevailed so far for his brother and the people, that the one lived till near the end of the wanderings in the desert, and the others, instead of perishing as a whole at once, lived to take their journey from a land of wells (Beeroth) to Mosera where Aaron died at Mount Hor, and thence to Gudgodah, and to Jotbath, "a land of rivers of waters:" such was the patient goodness of God to both, as the long interval made the more marked.*.

Thank You, loving Father, that You never change. Blessing for the world is after God has thus cleared the scene: in the prospect of this the Christian is called to rejoice to have the joy not only of liberty now but of the glory that is about to displace the oppression, the sorrow, the wretchedness, the sin, of this poor long-groaning earth, when all shall be put under the only One who is competent to bear the burden and to govern it to the glory of God. It is a call to obedience. 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.

Our, (October, a.d. He would have them happy in Himself, and enjoying all He had given them to enjoy. The book from which they were selected had itself a special appropriateness to the occasion, as we shall see: can it be doubted that the blessed Lord knew this infinitely well when He was pleased to use it? There was no doubt whatever that Esau had behaved so ill that the children of Israel were not likely to forget it. 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). II. 226-228.) When God commands us to go forward in our Christian course he sets the heavenly Canaan before us for our encouragement. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.". He chose to have a place where He would put His name. "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." I said, "Hey, you shut up and get out of here. 39; vi. How good is the Lord! They were about to enter it by special grace; for it is of importance to bear in mind that it was not by the covenant which was made at Horeb that the children of Israel entered the land at all. And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children;" and they were to bind them for a sign; they were to make much of them at all points outside the house and inside, and always. 4. Prayer Point #2: For The Body of Christ To Be In Unity and Walk In Love. Now notoriously as a dogma it is acknowledged everywhere in Christendom except by heretics; but the moment it is appropriated as a practical fact, people stand back and begin to qualify and mutilate. And if we yield to the flesh, the flesh will govern and rule our lives and we will have the resulted mind of the flesh. In the delight of His people He delights. Hence there is a tone of exceeding seriousness, as well as of chastened affection; there is a solemnity founded on the grand dealings of a God whose faithful and holy hand was now ushering them into His land. What gentle censures, if any, what palpable favouritism towards his own party, where they most deserve reproof and rebuke or perhaps still more stringent measures! ^D John VII. This is met by the call to action - "Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: turn you, and take your journey" (vers. Still more since Christ: misused ordinances are practically the same thing in principle, asGalatians 4:1-31; Galatians 4:1-31 teaches. Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to give your father ( Deuteronomy 1:6-8 ). The fixed use of the name Horeb to designate the mountain group in general, instead of the special name Sinai, which is given to the particular mountain upon which the law was given, is in keeping with the rhetorical style of the book. Such conversion does not suit God, who must have His own. This is the preamble to the recitation of the law in Deuteronomy, and includes the text of "the Shema," what has become the central prayer of Judaism, and which Jesus identifies as the greatest commandment in Matthew 22:36 and Mark 12:29-30. In Deuteronomy 12:1-32 we have statutes and judgments. The same with Sinai, as Aben Ezra observes; while the Israelites lay encamped near this mountain, the Lord spoke unto them: saying, ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: or near it; for hither they came on the first day of the third month from their departure out of Egypt, and they did not remove from thence until the twentieth day of the second month in the second year, Exodus 19:1 so that they were here a year wanting ten days; in which space of time the law was given them, the tabernacle and all things appertaining to it were made by them, rulers both ecclesiastical and civil were appointed over them, and they were numbered and marshalled in order under four standards, and so ready to march; and all this being done, they must stay no longer, but set forward for the land of Canaan. So, their fear was inspired because of these cities that were high and walled and because the people, the inhabitants were large, gigantic kinds of people. He wanted to leave them his blessing nay, he wanted them to have the best blessing that God could give them. The first thing introduced here is the fact that Jehovah had spoken to them in Horeb, saying, "Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount. They knew it was not God's will that forty years of wilderness wanderings should lie between Egypt and the Promised Land (Deut. practical object, seems to be from first to last an enforcement of obedience, grounded on the relationship between Jehovah their God and Israel, whom He was just bringing as His people into His land. And thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Whatever we are called out for is what Satan endeavours to destroy. 24; 2 Cor. deuteronomy 1:6 prayer points. And the beautiful thing is that God is with you, even in the wilderness experiences. A great auditory, no question, he had, as many as could crowd within hearing, and particularly all the elders and officers, the representatives of the people; and, probably, it was on the sabbath day that he delivered this to them. It was very important, therefore, that these men judge fairly (Deuteronomy 1:17). We're the ones that place the limits on God's work. 8. In Deuteronomy 4:1-49 we find another line of things. Such was the uniform walk of Jesus. These bear chiefly the character of logical deductions, and as such were largely applied in the Halakhah. And then he really started getting on God's case. I'm tempted to smack you in the mouth talking about God that way. We may without difficulty see the admirable appropriateness of such an introduction. There is another remark to be made. If they betook themselves to rites and ceremonies as a means of pleasing God, Jesus gave Himself up to unreserved obedience was Himself the constant pattern of One who never sought His own will. 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." Here we find out that the request for the spies actually came from the people and that it seemed good unto Moses. "The good that I would I do not. Hence, I need not say, there is peculiar solemnity in its character. Prayer Point #4: Pray for God's will to be done. 3. In Deuteronomy 9:1-29 another topic is prominent. It was a question of His authority, not of that which a man might intrinsically discern. Every step in really obeying God puts the man morally to the test, and is more or less attended with severe trial. 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." Next follows the account of their fear before God's solemn words, their promise to obey, and the mediatorial place which the people desired and God sanctioned for Moses. 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. O. T. i. p. 235) ventures to set portions of this chapter in juxtaposition with two from elsewhere, in order to show that God's speaking to the inspired writer was simply his own mind and conscience enlightened from on high. It is pentecost. And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which Jehovah our God doth give us. 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. India, China, Africa, etc., - he knows them all, yet he says, "Go in and possess.". viii. "Hearken" and "do," that ye may "live" and "possess.". To apply what now occupies us here, give me the chief, fundamental, and most salient points of Christianity, and I will show you that these are the very truths that Christians are most in danger of forgetting. So this is where the word Deuteronomy comes from "Moses began to declare this law". How great the blessing of one who walks, as Christ walked, in dependence on God, not consulting Him only if constrained, but of a ready mind, and assured that by His Spirit, through the written word, He deigns to guide every step of your way where self is judged, and to give you to take the right path with a simplicity incomparably better than all the wisdom the world could muster, if one sought in independence to choose for oneself! A desire to obey God and to keep the law of God, consenting that it's good, that's the right way, that's the way I want to live; seeing the divine ideal, being attracted by the divine ideal and desiring, longing after it. 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. The prime duty for every creature, whether Jew or Christian, is obedience. 41-43--here irrelevant (cf. THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY. They came to Kadeshbarnea and he speaks again of the tragic failure at Kadeshbarnea.Verse twenty-one: Behold, the LORD thy God has set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged. 4; iv. When Peter and John came to the Samaritans, and found that they were John MacNeilThe Spirit-Filled Life, Afraid of Giants'And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain; 18. The very point of faith, for which we are especially responsible, is what we are in most danger of forgetting under pressure or carelessness. NOTE: This edition of this sermon is taken from an earlier published edition of Spurgeon's 1857 message. The grand duty and safeguard is evermore to heed His word, and the consulting Him not only for their own path but in respect to others. They are then shown what may or may not be eaten, whether beasts, fishes, or fowls. ^d 11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: Ye have dwelt long enough in this mountain, Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers, Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament. This is now developed. But in Deuteronomy the point is to centralize them all around Jehovah Himself. *Because this is such a beautiful prayer to pray for your immediate family, the people of God, or to bless others as well as yourself, I have used the plural "we/us" but you can also use the singular "I/me" while praying! In Deuteronomy 15:1-23 we find a similar principle as to the year of release. In examining Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers, we have found what may be called an abstract typical system. * 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. 10. 21 et seqq.) O. T. i. pp. It is founded on the life of Christ in resurrection, when the Holy Ghost brings us into the power of enjoyment. What God lays on one He does not necessarily enjoin on another. So it habitually is where the faith is real; but nature is not yet judged root and branch. And Jehovah said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess that thou mayest inherit his land. Next we see what was the fact when they did go up spite of the warning of God to fight the Amorites. Help me to abide in Christ, knowing that His grace is sufficient for every challenge in life. They were to remember what rebellion must end in. 1:6-7. Jehovah went along with them; and of course the faithful turned back just as much as the unfaithful. It is well for persons that they are not to stay long under the law, and the terrors of it, but are directed to Mount Zion; Hebrews 12:18. THE CHURCH'S DANGER - to abide at the mount, to settle down into a state of apathy or simple receptivity. Then in Deuteronomy 2:1-37 the law-giver reminds them how they took their weary journey. O. T. i. All this is made to converge on the children. This men forget. This seems the reason why it is brought in here, as the time was long past; whereas all was fresh in Exodus, which is the main display of that truth. It is the book which our Lord quotes in His temptations with Satan. And here the people were making this blasphemous accusation; "because God hates us, he brought us out here". A Summons To Advance . 5, 11, 14, 18, 21, 26). Thus, we see, the second exhortation contains a lesson about other people, as the first was the danger of disobedience on their own part. They knew it was not God's will that forty years of wilderness wanderings should lie between Egypt and the Promised Land (Deut. What we find here is a warning not to yield to the sight of their eyes or the violence of their hands, guarding against a covetous spirit which pays slight regard to that which God had assigned to others. Religion, divorced from active employment, must soon lose its robustness, and degenerate into a sickly religiosity. Our J. But one must only expect this from men whose aim is to reduce the inspired writers to their own level, and who think that piety can co-exist with fraud, yea, with fraudulent falsehood about God. It had more of the family character; but a beautiful feature is connected with it: "And the Levite (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee), and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest." 45, was edited and abbreviated somewhat. Deuteronomy 14:1-29 insists on what became the children of Jehovah their God in abstaining from unseemly maimings or disfigurements for the dead, as well as from any food which He, who knew better than they, pronounced abominable. A Plain Description of the Essence and Attributes of God, Out of the Holy Scripture, So Far as Every Christian must Competently Know, and Necessarily Believe, that Will be Saves. 10. They were about to go into the land to enjoy it; but "Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one. I am afraid there was not much more in the weeping than in the acknowledgment of the sin. Og the king came out, and as with Heshbon, so with Bashan. )Ver. 2 (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea.) 367.). So you appointed the seventy to be rulers over them, the chief men and he charged them to hear the causes of the people and to judge among the people. "These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which Jehovah God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth." For Jehovah thy God blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years Jehovah thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing." In the one case there was a remembrance of creation; in this case, of symbolic redemption, the bringing out of Egypt. The book of Deuteronomy acknowledges this failure, and takes its stand not only on the fact that it was impossible to deny, it but on the duty of confessing it. "We turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea, as Jehovah spake unto me; and we compassed Mount Seir many days. 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. Psalm 138:1-2. iii. Every part of my life is BLESSED! But you are the one that puts the limitations on what God wants to do. "On comparing the decalogue as recorded inExodus 20:2-17; Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21, it will be observed, "1. The heart may be made up to follow the Lord, but the difficulties are still felt keenly; whereas the man who only theorises is ready in his own conceit, in word at least, to do anything; but there is no seriousness of spirit: he does not know himself yet. Deuteronomy 1:6. No matter what it may cost, he assumes that he will at once go through with the will of the Lord. 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 it not a beautiful indication of what the true God is, even in His least institutions? What better blessing after all can be on earth, except Christ Himself, if indeed it be not a part of Christ, than that life of Christ which walks in obedience? But then as he moves into the eighth chapter of Romans, he found the answer to his cry. (Gen. Xlix. This seems to me put to the test in the question of the land of Edom. What God had done in the past, he could continue to do in the future. Still stubborn and disobedient, the people who would not go into Canaan with God then tried to conquer the country without him. It is not the Jewish people in the school of Jehovah to manifest what was in their heart, and what He was towards them; but the people strengthened by Jehovah in presence of a power mightier than their own. Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. perhaps the more appropriate translation is the one that points to the exclusive demand of this God to be the only God Israel acknowledges and worships (5:6 See also Exodus 20:2). Indeed he could not have written either in its present form, because that in Exodus is Jehovistic, and older than the record in Deuteronomy. And I cannot bring my flesh into conformity unto God. Now wherein lay this fitness not only in the words that were cited, but in the particular book from which they were extracted? And this is another chapter from which our Lord quotes when tempted, to which we may refer in passing. 18, 19, 12, 13; ^B Mark XI. 364-366.). The Blessing of Jacob Upon Judah. For their lives are spent in seeking to satisfy their physical appetites and needs. So Paul speaks of this frustration, "Oh wretched man that I am. 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. i. p. 42, note 4.) 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? And it is always our unbelief that places the limitations upon the work that God is seeking to do in our lives. I do not regard this as evincing the spirit of obedience, but rather a spice of self-confidence. But God, in fact, is always left out of the calculations of unbelief. Conceive the state of mind which could say that "in Deuteronomy Moses repeatedly lays the blame of his expulsion on the people (Deuteronomy 1:37; Deuteronomy 3:26; Deuteronomy 4:21); but according toNumbers 20:12; Numbers 20:12 God punished him thus for not believing Him, while inNumbers 27:14; Numbers 27:14 his punishment was occasioned by the legislator's own disobedience"! And be. Occasionally in Deuteronomy he supplemented what he had written earlier with other explanatory material. But the second feast brings out joy in a very distinct and delightful manner. "When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.". I can't stand that. We have to consider whether we are undertaking it out of some human desire of heroism. They hesitated and by staying outside of the land, they were not obeying God's instructions. He and other sacred authors are to be regarded as nothing more than representatives of the intelligence of their age in relation to the Deity. will be blessed. They had marched round to the eastern side of the Jordan; they were now on that border of the land, after God's long-continued process of dealing with them in the wilderness had come to its full measure. 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 you suspect a rogue is in your employment, you may test him by marking a piece of money to see whether he steals or not: am I then going to mark something for God to see whether He will keep His word or not? "4. * So difficult is it to unbelief that some take the ground of making Deuteronomy belong to an older age when the distinction of priests from Levites was not yet brought in. Hence, in the first feast, we find they were to eat unleavened bread. We say, "Oh, but I'm so weak and I've tried so hard and you don't know how long I've been struggling with this thing". 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. , that you never change creature, whether Jew or Christian, is obedience ordinances only became snare!
