Deuteronomy
29:1 These are the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded
Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the
covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
It
was the same covenant, just reiterated
some 40 years later; this verse should be the last verse of the previous
chapter where what Moses was saying begun in chapter 1 and ended in chapter
28; then Moses continues on in verse 2 of this chapter 29; Concise
Bible Dictionary:."Horeb
was a mount closely connected with Sinai
and embraces the range of mountains lying about 28° 30' N, between
the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Akaba, whereas Sinai is one of the mountain
peaks. Horeb was called 'the mountain of God'. It was where the Creator
met and talked with Moses and where He made a covenant with ancient Israel.
Near here also the infamous
golden calf was set up":.Exodus
32:1-8.
Deuteronomy
29:2 And Moses called unto all Israel and said unto them, You have
seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh
and unto all his servants and unto all his land.
Deuteronomy
29:3 The great temptations.(original
is 'trials to prove' as one would prove out something, such as a racehorse
or a racecar before using it in order to see how it does).which
your eyes have seen, the signs and those great miracles.
Deuteronomy
29:4 Yet the Lord has not given you a heart to perceive and
eyes to see and ears to hear, unto this day.
And
why?.Isaiah
28:13; Ezekiel 12:2; Matthew
11:15.
Deuteronomy
29:5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes
are not waxen old.(not
worn out).upon you and your
shoe is not waxen old upon your foot.
Deuteronomy
29:9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant and do them, that you
may prosper in all that you do.
The
words of the covenant, which means an agreement, were words that if followed
would have brought all the good things which are the things of God into
their lives, but they didn't want to do it:.Jeremiah
44:16,17. The same principle applies in the New Testament era,
the time today we are in. Some things are different. The Old Testament
Mosaic Law is now gone
that they were supposed to follow and there is no longer the rigmorole
of all
that was then required.
Micah
6:8 "He has showed you, O man, what is good and what does the Lord
require of you, but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with
your God?"
Doing 'justly'
in the original is making the right decisions for yourself and others and
since in the New Testament time of today, we have a special
gift from God to use for greatly improving our lives and the lives
of all others, doing justly is using it to that end.
Deuteronomy
29:10-11 You stand this day all of you before the Lord your God; your
captains of your tribes, your elders and your officers, with all the men
of Israel, your little ones, your wives and the stranger that is in your
camp.(note
how God doesn't cut anyone out if they too are in agreement),
from the hewer of your wood unto the drawer of your water.
Deuteronomy
29:12 That you should enter into covenant with the Lord your God and
into his oath, which the Lord your God makes with you this day.
Deuteronomy
29:13 That he may establish thee today for a people unto himself and
that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee and as he hath
sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob.
Deuteronomy
29:14,15 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,
but with him that standeth here with us this day before the Lord our God
and also with him that is not here with us this day.
Deuteronomy
29:16 For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt and how we
came through the nations which ye passed by.
Deuteronomy
29:17 And ye have seen their abominations and their
idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them.
Deuteronomy 29:18 Lest there should be among you
man or woman or family or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from the
Lord our God to go and serve the gods of these nations, lest there should
be among you a root that bears gall.and wormwood;
Deuteronomy
29:18 Lest there should be among you man or woman or family or tribe,
whose heart turns away this day from the Lord our God to go and serve the
Gods
of these nations, lest there should be among you a root that bears
gall.(original
for word 'gall' is 'hemlock'
akawormwood,
a bitter herb with one type of it being a poisonous herb; this would be
likened to the low
consciousness attitude of the majority
of people).and wormwood.(dissatisfied
and disgruntled).
Deuteronomy
29:19 And it come to pass, when he hears the words of this curse, that
he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace.(Jeremiah
6:14), though I walk in the imagination of mine heart.(Genesis
6:5), to add drunkenness to thirst.
Deuteronomy
29:20-28 God will not spare him, but then the anger of God and his
jealousy.(Exodus
34:14).shall smoke against
that man and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon
him and God shall blot out his name from under heaven.(book
of life;.Romans
14:12). And God shall separate him unto evil out of all
the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that
are written in this book of the law, so that the generation to come of
your children that shall rise up after you and the stranger that shall
come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land
and the sicknesses which God has laid upon it and that the whole land thereof
is brimstone and salt and burning, that it is not sown, nor bears, nor
any grass grows therein, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah
and Zeboim, which God overthrew in his anger and in his wrath. Even all
nations shall say, Wherefore has God done thus unto this land? What means
the heat of this great anger? Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken
the
covenant of God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought
them forth out of the land of Egypt. For they went and served other
gods and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not and whom he had not
given unto them. And the anger of God was kindled against this land, to
bring upon it all the
curses that are written in this book and God rooted them out of their
land in anger and in wrath and in great indignation and cast them into
another land, as it is this day.
Deuteronomy
29:29 The secret things belong unto our God.(Job
33:13), but those things which are revealed.(Daniel
2:22; 1;
2;
3;
4).belong
unto us and to our children forever, that we may do.(can
only do what you can learn and the people could easily learn love, but
not the rigmarole
added of all the
Mosaic Law do's and dont's that religion often carries
on with today).all the words
of
this law..(?)
The
commandments was a law given in love to produce good for the people God
always has loved (2Timothy 1:9)
and that's all of us.
Those in early
Old Testament times needed the rigmarole of 600 more laws, rules and regulations
to make it clear that it was that important for them (*),
but it didn't work that way at all for the people. Why?.Deuteronomy
5;29. If anything, they hated God more and anything to do with God
as time went on:.Jeremiah
44:16,17.
What to do
if you hate God?
The 'words
of this law' spoken of in this verse Deuteronomy
29:29, is speaking here of the higher law
of love, as the Old Testament law which
is now
defunct,
was
anything but a law of love as it couldn't
affect the heart and so it was
abolished. But God was always love:.1John
4:16. And God never changes in that.
Job
38:4.
Adam
Clarke's Commentary:."The
simple general meaning seems to be this: What God has thought proper to
reveal, he has revealed. What he has revealed is essential to the well-being
of man and this revelation is intended not for the present time merely,
nor for one people, but for all succeeding generations."
Deuteronomy
30:1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon
you.('thanks'
to the decision
the first man Adam made that others after him never moved away from),
the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you and you shall call
them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord your God has driven
you,
God
is noting that when they are in captivity, it'll get them thinking about
just why this happened
to them, because all they did was what they knew to be right and that included
disregarding God.(Jeremiah
44:16,17).and
because of that, they never did find the secret to getting and living with
the blessings they could have had:.Proverbs
14:12. They were in captivity
many times and still couldn't learn the lesson, just like us today,
we keep getting hit over the head with all kinds of negatives, but never
learn why. And why would that be:.2Corinthians
3:16.
Deuteronomy
30:2,3 And shalt return unto the Lord thy God and shalt obey his voice
according to all that I command thee this day.(walk
the
way God wants for you; it's best!), you and your children
with all your heart and with all your soul, That.then.the
Lord your God will turn your captivity and have compassion upon you and
will again gather you from all the nations whither the Lord yout God has
scattered you.
Bringing
back the lost soul. Father-God of all good, never
gives up on you. That's why the dark side wants to get you depressed,
so you'll give up on you. See Gene Decode's video at 40 minutes in https://rumble.com/v2f8vui-gene-decodeknowledge-shall-be-increased.html
Deuteronomy
30:4 If any of you be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven,
from thence will the Lord your God gather you and from thence will he fetch
you.(Nehemiah
1:9; Mark
13:27)..(?)
Deuteronomy
30:5-8 And the Lord your God will bring you into the land which your
fathers possessed and you shall possess it and he will do you good and
multiply you above your fathers. And the Lord your God will circumcise
your heart and the heart of your seed, to love the Lord your God with all
your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.(John
10:10). And the Lord your God will put all these curses
upon your enemies and on them that hate you, which persecuted you. And
you shall return and obey the voice of the Lord and do all his commandments
which I command you this day.
Just as a
father and mother will do all they can to bring a son or daughter back
into
Deuteronomy
30:9 And the Lord your God will make you plenteous in every work of
your hands, in the fruit of your body and in the fruit of your cattle and
in the fruit of your land, for good. For the Lord will again rejoice over
you for good as he rejoiced over your fathers.(such
as Abraham {Genesis 12:3, Isaac
and Jacob}).
Deuteronomy
30:10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to
keep his commandments.(there
were 12 of them).and
his statutes which are written in this book of the law and if thou
turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine heart and with all thy soul.
No
longer do we have a set of laws such as was the Mosaic Law with its over
600 do's & don'ts to saturate the peoples' minds back then in God.
It didn't work:.Deuteronomy
5:29. And that was its lesson, the lesson being one's heart can't envelope
laws made for physical regulation and guidance. Something better was needed:.Hebrews
7:19,22; 8:6; 11:16,40.
Comprised
with.Matthew
Henry's Commentary: The unlearned and poor, who are simple hearted,
readily
draw proper inferences
from the evidences of the light of the
gospel, but those whose desires are another way, though always learning,
never come to the knowledge of the truth:.2Timothy
3:7.
Deuteronomy
30:11-14 For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not
hidden from you, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that you should
say, Who shall go up for us to heaven and bring it unto us that we may
hear it and do it.(but
we have religiots
today who say 'Brothers and sisters, I've spent much time in the heavenlies
to learn what God wants for you', etc. etc., ad
nauseaum)? Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should
say, Who shall go over the sea for us and bring it unto us, that we may
hear it and do it? But the
word.(*).is
very nigh unto you.(how
near?), in your mouth and in
thy heart, that you may do it.
Deuteronomy
30:15 See, I have set before you this day life and good and death
and evil.(*).
So
each of us have choices
daily to become better spiritually
or to head over to the ways of the dark
side. You pick. You receive.
Deuteronomy
30:16-18 In that I command you this day to love our God, to walk in
his ways and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments,
that
you may live and multiply and God will bless you in the land whither you
go to possess it. But if your heart turn away,
so that you will not hear.(Numbers
14:43-45), instead being drawn away to worship other
gods and serve them, I denounce unto you this day that you will surely
perish and that you will not prolong your days upon the land, whither you
passed over Jordan to go to possess it.
Deuteronomy
30:19 I 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 you and your seed may live.(original
word for 'live' adds 'to live apart from sickness, faintness, death, disappointment,
discouragement' and instead 'to live prosperously').
You're
not really living if you're not in
God, you're only existing:.John
10:10; 3John 1:2. The ancients
as they grew in number, still being in the realm
of low consciousness, instead of choosing
life, chose the way as Adam did, the way of maintaining a no good consciousness
by choosing to follow the
pagan practices of the nations around them. Time
and time again God tried to lead them straight but they would again
drift off from God. They just didn't
have the heart for anything better, even though they wanted the better
life and the better way to it, they just could not make themselves adhere
to what would have brought it for them:.Deuteronomy
5:29. Something better had to come along and it did:.Hebrews
7:19.
And so we see
another lesson, that of their lives back then came to be examples for us
today:.1Corinthians
10:6. In the Old
Testament here, the people just couldn't do it on their own. They had
the onerous.Mosaic
Law, which showed all of us that laws are useless for anything to do
with spiritual progress, so it
was abolished. They hated it so much that they didn't even want God
around them any more, at all:.Jeremiah
44:16,17.
Deuteronomy
30:20 That you may love the Lord your God and that you may obey his
voice and that you may cleave unto him, for he is your life and
the length of your days, that you may dwell in the land which the Lord
sware unto your fathers Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob.(Malachi
3:6), to give them.
Deuteronomy
31:6.Be strong and
of a good courage.(2Chronicles
19:11), fear
not, nor be afraid of them, for the Lord your God, he it is that does
go with you. He will not fail you, nor forsake you.
Hebrews
13:5.
Deuteronomy
31:7 And Moses called unto Joshua
and said unto him in the sight of all Israel,
Be strong and of a good courage, for you must go with this people unto
the land which the Lord has sworn
unto their fathers to give them and you'll cause them to inherit it.
Deuteronomy
31:8 The Lord
is he that goes before you. He will be with you.
He will not fail you, neither forsake you. Fear not, neither be
dismayed.
Deuteronomy
31:9 And Moses wrote this law
and delivered it unto the
priests the sons of Levi,
which bare the
ark of the covenant of the Lord and unto all the elders of Israel.
Deuteronomy
31:12 Gather the people together, men and women and children and the
stranger that is within your gates, that they may hear and that they may
learn and fear God and observe
to do all the words of this law.
Deuteronomy
31:16 And God said unto Moses, You shall sleep with your 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.
Lesson
for us today is never to turn back giving up what you have gained:.Hebrews
10:38; 1Corinthians 10:11.
Deuteronomy
31:17 Then 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?
Jeremiah
44:18-23.
Deuteronomy
31:18 And I will surely hide
my face in that day for all the evils.(Jeremiah
16:12).which they shall
have wrought, in that they are turned unto other
Gods.
Deuteronomy
31:20 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware
unto their fathers, that flows with milk and honey and they shall have
eaten and filled themselves and waxen fat, then will they turn unto other
Gods and serve them and provoke me and break my covenant.
Verse
shows what the ordinary
human nature is like before turning
to God; but for the ancients here, their on
and off life with God was like a yo-yo.
Deuteronomy
31:21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen
them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness, for it shall
not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed, for I know their imagination.(*).which
they go about, even now before I have brought them into the land which
I sware.
This
was the land promised (Numbers
13:25-28) to those brought out of Egyptian
bondage, an antitype
of the promise being fulfilled in our day today of the kingdom
of God.
Deuteronomy
31:23 And he gave Joshua the son
of Nun a charge and said, Be strong and of a good courage, for you shall
bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them and
I will be with you
Words
'and I will be with thee', not in original, why?
Deuteronomy
31:24 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the
words of this law in a book, until they were
finished,
Deuteronomy
31:25 That Moses commanded the
Levites,
which bare the ark
of the covenant of the Lord,
saying,
Deuteronomy
31:26 Take this book of the law.(was
on two tables of stone:.1Kings
8:9).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.
Deuteronomy
31:27 For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. Behold, while
I am yet alive with you this day, you have been rebellious against the
Lord and how much more of that would you be after my death?
Moses
was saying this about the people he had led out of Egypt and dragged through
the wilderness for forty years and now were about to head across the river
Jordan into the land God had promised them:.verses
16-20.
Deuteronomy
32:3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord. Ascribe
you greatness unto our God.
God's
greatness.
Deuteronomy
32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect.(Ephesians
2:10), for all his ways are judgment.(fair
justice, not an emotional reaction of angered.retribution);
a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
God
never does anything to you or your life that's not good.in
the long run.(example
of Job's life), as long
as we are alert enough as to why negatives
are affecting us in
the first place:.Romans
8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that
love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
Deuteronomy
32:5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of
his children.(because
they became corrupt, they were not
really God's children, so God did something about it to help, that
took
them out of the equation). They are a perverse and crooked
generation.
Deuteronomy
32:6 Do you thus requite God.(is
this what you give back to God?), O foolish people and unwise?
Is not he your father that has bought you? Has he not made you and established
you?
Deuteronomy
32:7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations.(learn
from the lessons of the past your elders
can teach you about). Ask your father and he will show you
and your elders and they will tell you.
To
learn from the lessons of the past, you have to be able to think again
about them, deciding to never again be that way of harm to self and others,
so if a similar situation comes up, you'll now make the right choice. If
you avoid remembering wrongs done, you have no mirror with which to examine
yourself to keep you on the better pathway of life:.2Corinthians
13:5; Isaiah 52:14.
Deuteronomy
32:8 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..(*)
Deuteronomy
32:9,10 For God's portion is his people.(Romans
8:17; Ephesians 1:18).
Jacob
is the lot of his inheritance. He found him in a desert land and in the
waste howling wilderness. He led him about. He instructed him. He kept
him as the apple of his eye.
Barnes
Notes:."These
verses set forth in figurative language the helpless and hopeless state
of the nation when God took pity on it and the love and care which He bestowed
on it."
Deuteronomy
32:11 As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads
abroad her wings, takes them, bears them on her wings.
Deuteronomy
32:12,13 So when the Lord alone did lead him, there was no strange
God with them. He made him ride on the high places of the Earth, that they
might eat the increase of the fields and he made him to suck honey out
of the rock and oil out of the flinty rock.
Deuteronomy
32:14 Butter of kine and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs and rams
of the breed of Bashan.(Amos
4:1).and
goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat and thou didst drink the pure blood
of the grape.
Deuteronomy 32:15 But Jeshurun
waxed fat and kicked. You are waxen fat, you are grown thick, you are covered
with fatness. Then he forsook God which made him and lightly esteemed
the Rock of his salvation.
Deuteronomy
32:15 But Jeshurun.(spelt
'Jesurun' in Isaiah 44:2; comprised
with.Easton's
Dictionary:.Jeshurun
was a poetical
name, a token of affection name for Israel,
meaning 'the dear upright people';
comprised
from Barnes
Notes: the name describes not the character which belonged to
physical
Israel, but that to which Israel was called to become, which calling
they just could not answer because their
heart was just not with it).waxed
fat.(Matthew
Henry's Concise Commentary:."They
indulged their appetites as if they had nothing to do but to make provision
for the flesh to fulfil its lusts. Those who make a God of themselves and
a God of their bellies, in pride and lewdness and cannot bear to be told
of it, by it forsake God and show they esteem him lightly").and
kicked.(comprised
with Matthew
Poole's Commentary: 'they kicked like well-fed cattle do {let's
go out on the town for a wild time}; he grew insolent
and rebellious against God'; comprised with.Adam
Clarke's Commentary:.'not
only did theyrevolt from God, but actually fought against him, like a full
fed horse who not only will not bear the harness but breaks away from his
master'). You art waxen fat. You art grown
thick. You art covered with fatness. Then he forsook God which made
him and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
Learn
how to handle yourself so when prosperity
comes you won't forsake
your Father-Creator.
Deuteronomy
32:16 They provoked
him to jealousy.(Exodus
34:14).with
strange
Gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
Deuteronomy
32:17 They sacrificed unto devils.(2Chronicles
11:15), not to God, but to gods
whom they knew not, to new
gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
Today
it's the same for the horribly corrupt ones having given themselves
over to the dark side beings. You don't
make deals with the devil and ever come out on top. These politicians,
mostly pedophiles, politicians and world leaders, religious leaders, gangster
bankers, controllers behind the scenes, have pretty much by now (it's been
ongoing) been rounded up, tried for their crimes against humanity and/or
treasonous dealings and have been severely dealt with.
Their
forefathers
knew better and that it was just so much crap
to invent and make a God out of materials (Psalms
106:39) formed with one's hands and then to worship it and call their
pagan.religionbased

32:19 And when God saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking
of his sons and of his daughters.

32:20 And he said, I will hide
my face from them, I will see what their end shall be, for they are
a very froward
generation, children in whom is no faith.
Deuteronomy
32:21 They have moved
me to jealousy with that which is not God. They have provoked me to
anger with their vanities and I will move them to jealousy with those which
are not a people.(of
God). I will provoke them to anger
with a foolish nation.
Sent
them time and time
again into captivity by nations that didn't believe they were being
used by God to do this, as subjugation
seems natural to low consciousness people.
Deuteronomy
32:22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger and shall burn unto the lowest
hell and shall consume the Earth with her increase and set on fire the
foundations of the mountains.
Deuteronomy
32:23-26 I will heap mischiefs upon them. I will spend mine arrows
upon them. They shall be burnt with hunger and devoured with burning heat
and with bitter destruction. I will also send the teeth of beasts upon
them, with the poison of serpents of the dust. The sword without and terror
within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also
with the man of gray hairs. I said, I would scatter them into corners,
I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men.
Deuteronomy
32:27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their
adversaries should behave themselves strangely and lest they should say,
Our hand is high and the Lord has not done all this.(on
our behalf).

sold them and God the Father had His hand in it?

their Rock had given them over and God had delivered them up?".(*)
Deuteronomy
32:35 To me belongs vengeance.(how?.Romans
12:19).and recompence;

come quickly).
Vengeance
or avenging, being the action occurring
for the purpose of recompensing,
requiting.

If I whet my glittering sword and my hand takes hold on judgment, I will
render vengeance to my enemies and will reward them that hate me. I will
make mine arrows drunk with blood and my sword shall devour flesh and that
with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of
revenges upon the enemy. Rejoice, O you nations having his people, for
he will avenge the blood of his servants and will render vengeance to his
adversaries and will be merciful unto his land and to his people.
Deuteronomy
32:44-49 And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the
ears of the people, he and Hoshea the son of Nun. And Moses made an end
of speaking all these words to all Israel. And he said unto them, Set your
hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which you
shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
For it is not a vain thing for you, because it is your life and through
this thing you shall prolong your days in the land, whither you go over
Jordan to possess it. And God spoke unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,
Get up onto this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo.(the
highest mountain in the range called Abarim), which is in
the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho and look at the land of
Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession.
Deuteronomy
32:50 And then you'll die on that mountain and be gathered unto your
people, as Aaron your brother died in mount Hor and was gathered unto his
people.
Deuteronomy
32:51,52 Because you trespassed against me.(*).among
the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness
of Zin and because you sanctified me not in the midst of the children of
Israel. Yet you shall see the land before you, but you shall not go thither
unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
Deuteronomy
33:1 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed
the children of Israel before his death.
Deuteronomy 33:2 And he said, God came from Sinai
and rose up from Seir unto them. He shined forth from mount Paran and he
came with ten thousands of saints and from his right hand went a fiery
law for them.
Deuteronomy
33:2 And he said, God came from Sinai
and rose up from Seir unto them. He shined forth from mount Paran.(Paran
is now called 'et Tih', it lies between Kadesh and Sinai).and
he came with ten thousands of saints.(original
for word 'saints'
here and in verse 3 below is 'holy',
that is, here meaning 'holy ones', those of the family
of
wholeness; elsewhere throughout the Old and New Testament the
word 'saint' is translated as simply 'holy',
that is, one of wholeness, a good
man or woman, not one who has given himself or herself to evil:.1Timothy
4:1,2; Titus 1:15).from
his right hand went a fiery law for them.
Fiery law in
that, set down long ago was the law of 'you
reap
what you have sown'. As you have sown, so shall you reap. Be sure you've
sown only good for yourself and others. That way, you'll get good back:.Luke
6:38.
Deuteronomy
33:3,4 Yea, he loved the people. All his saints are in your hand and
they sat down at your feet. Every one shall receive of your words. Moses
commanded us a law.(became
known as the Mosaic Law), even
the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
Deuteronomy
33:12 And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the Lord shall dwell
in safety by him and the Lord shall cover him all the day long and he shall
dwell between his shoulders.
Deuteronomy
33:17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns
are like the horns of unicorns.
With them he shall push the people together to the ends of the Earth and
they are the ten thousands of Ephraim and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
Deuteronomy
33:24 And of Asher
he said, Let Asher be blessed with children. Let him be acceptable to his
brethren and let him dip his foot in oil.
Deuteronomy
33:25 Your shoes shall be iron and brass and as your days, so shall
your strength be.
Deuteronomy
33:27 The eternal God is your refuge and underneath are His everlasting
arms.(that
is, God upholds
you; underneath you are His arms, holding you, carrying you, as you would
carry a precious baby). And he shall thrust
out the enemy from before you and destroy.
Original
for 'destroy' is 'take a pledge', 'bind away' from you; or to keep them
from you.
Deuteronomy
33:29 Happy are you, O Israel.(who's
Israel today?). Who is like unto you, O people saved
by the Lord who is the shield of your help and is the sword of your excellency!
Your enemies shall be found liars unto you.(enemies
here are those having led you with information that did you no good).and
you shall tread upon their high places.
You'll
rise above the garbage thinking that they hold high in their minds as the
way to live by.
Deuteronomy
34:1,2 And Moses went up from
the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that
is over against Jericho.('and
the walls came tumbling
down'; that Jericho). And the Lord
showed him all the land of Gilead, unto
Dan,
And all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh and all the land
of Judah, unto the utmost sea,
Deuteronomy
34:3 And the south and the plain of the valley of Jericho,
the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.(Joshua
1:3,4).
Deuteronomy
34:4,5 And the Lord said unto him, This is the
land which I sware unto Abraham,
unto Isaac and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto your seed. I
have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over
thither.(why?).
So Moses the servant of the Lord
died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of God.
Deuteronomy
34:6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against
Bethpeor, but no man knows of his sepulchre
unto this day.
Creator-God
took Moses body and buried it, but that was only his physical body; Creator
did the same with Enoch and Elijah.
And where are
they now?
Deuteronomy
34:7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died. His
eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
Deuteronomy
34:8,9 And 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.
And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had
laid his hands upon him and the children of Israel hearkened unto him and
did as the Lord commanded Moses.
Deuteronomy
34:10 And since Moses there arose not a prophet in Israel like unto
Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face.
Not
face
to face, but in each other's presence; I guess that's close enough:.Exodus
33:11.
Deuteronomy
34:11,12 In all the signs and the wonders, which the Lord sent him
to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his servant and to all
his land, And in all that mighty hand and in all the great terror which
Moses showed in the sight of all Israel.
....next
Old Testament book is Joshua
