We know the profanity of Esau; we know the solemn circumstances of Moab and Ammon from their very origin; but for all that God would not permit His people to indulge in what did not become Himself as represented however feebly in and by Israel. And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose; and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.". What God was displaying by them has now found its meaning, since Christ was revealed and the mighty work of redemption effected. God appointed judges (Deuteronomy 1:16) to help Moses carry the burden of legal decisions that resulted from the giving of the Law. THE CHURCH'S DESTINY - to possess the land. So Jehovah our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people." 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. The aged lawgiver in these last words was led of the Holy Ghost to speak home to their souls. 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. It is the design of the book which governs the description in each case. The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come, and unto Him the people shall adhere." 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 . God had laid it out and said, "Here it is. Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet." Thus was kept up a thorough sense of discipline in the people, and above all dependence on and confidence in Jehovah. 24. Inquiry is Made, Whether the Doubling it in the Maps is Well Done. Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them. "Ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire in the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness. "Now therefore hearken, O Israel." 45-48. The tenth has also the first two clauses in a different order from that in Exodus, and adds 'his field.'. The obedience spoken of in this chapter, which called every male of Israel up to remember Jehovah at these three feasts, gathered them to the place which Jehovah their God would choose. Whatever we are called out for is what Satan endeavours to destroy. It reminds them of his gracious acts on their behalf and calls from them a fitting response of covenant loyalty. So, all of these things transpired in Deuteronomy, as far as Moses was concerned, in the last forty days of his life; his final exhortations to the people prior to their crossing and entering into the land. He might not grant such a liberal concession to others as he left to himself. For Egypt, the area of bondage, slavery, hardship, is the type of the life of the world, in the world, slaves to our flesh to Satan; and so it is typical of our old life. May the Lord give us hearts to rejoice in all His, grace and truth and glory! However Judea, here and there, doth swell out much with mountains, yet its chief swelling appears in that broad back of mountains, that runs from the utmost southern cost as far as Hebron, and almost as Jerusalem itself. So it is that it does not withhold from us the over-heatedness of a Paul, as well as the weakness of a Barnabas; that it tells out the stumbling both of Thomas and of Mark: all is openly communicated for our instruction. In Psalms it says, "And they limited the holy one of Israel by their unbelief" ( Psalms 78:41 ). For a Jew no doubt there is the law of Moses. . 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. Yet for all that, even though it was but the governmental display of God with a nation (not fully as with Christ, but provisionally by Moses), there is not a fragment of it that does not, when candidly examined, prove the goodness and the holiness of God, as much as it illustrates also on the other side the rebelliousness of man, chosen man, even the people of God. *It is distressing that any man bearing the Christian name should write as does Dr. Davidson. To get from the Red Sea into the Promised Land, it was necessary to go through the wilderness, an eleven-day journey, but most of the wilderness experience was illegitimate.Now I feel that the history is a typical history, that there are spiritual analogies to be made to the children of Israel coming out of Egypt passing through the wilderness into the Promised Land. Our means are the preaching of the gospel, prayer, holy living, organized and beneficent activity to reach the lost sheep of our great communities, and multiplied missionary agencies in foreign lands. 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. A fair question arises for those who honour the divine word, why events so long severed in time are thus introduced seemingly together. Deuteronomy 31:6 - Prayer Points For Protection From Fear/Failure. pt. It was only eleven days journey from Mount Sinai to Kadesh-barnea, and about the same from Kadesh to the plains of Moab where the people now were, but they had taken forty years to get there. We have here, I. (1) Et non sans cause; and not without reason. 6.The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb. This becomes the centre for all; and the book of Deuteronomy is founded on that fact, Israel being on the Point of entering into the land. It is rather a proof of hardness of heart. In short, whatever it be to which God summons us is precisely what the devil endeavours to obscure, and so to hinder our testimony. Yet he discourses not to them concerning military affairs, the arts and stratagems of war, but concerning their duty to God; for, if they kept themselves in his fear and favour, he would secure to them the conquest of the land: their religion would be their best policy. We're the ones that place the limits on God's work. 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". Heavenly Father, Help us to faithfully obey Your voice and being careful to do all that You command, today and in the future. This is clearly shown. What God lays on one He does not necessarily enjoin on another. God had already multiplied the Israelites, and He was ready to give them the land. For he had himself told them to go up into the land; but they begged spies to search it first. Philo of Alexandria, the Rabbis, and the Gospels - the Final Development of Hellenism in Its Relation to Rabbinism and the Gospel According to St. John. ). "For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as Jehovah our God is in all things that we call upon him for? The children of Moab had had their wars. I pray that by Your grace, I would choose to live a victorious life that trusts Your Word, submits to Your will, and honours Your name in every eventuality of life. Is this what you feel? 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. Man must not presume to choose. The word of Jehovah mentioned here is not found in this form in the previous history; but as a matter of fact it is contained in the divine instructions that were preparatory to their removal (Numbers 1-4 and Numbers 9:15-10:10), and the rising of the cloud from the tabernacle, which followed immediately afterwards (Numbers 10:11). ", Then comes (ver. Still it is too solemn to admit of what is so buoyant, which has its own proper exercise. "Jehovah made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day Jehovah talked with you face to face in the Mount out of the midst of the fire. 4; Isa. What is meant by a moral law is that which one can pronounce on from within even without a prescription from God. 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? (The Pent. The character of it was so solemn as scarce to admit of this. It is as true for us as for them, though not shown in the same legal way or outward manner. We can all see how very bad it was in Israel; but do we feel that it is still worse in the Christian? And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. They're each of them seeking to rule our lives. But the second feast brings out joy in a very distinct and delightful manner. "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. What nation had such a wonder as God Himself in their midst God Himself near the least of them? In Deuteronomy 12:1-32 we have statutes and judgments. I must despair of all of these self-improvement programs and I must cry out for help outside of myself, for therein is the power of the spirit manifested. Religion, divorced from active employment, must soon lose its robustness, and degenerate into a sickly religiosity. In examining Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers, we have found what may be called an abstract typical system. The type was the land of Canaan; the antitype, so far as it lies in time, is the world, which it is the Church's calling to conquer for Christ, and for her own possession. "Is He then indeed your Father?" Now Israel had totally failed in their place. "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." Ah! The date of this sermon which Moses preached to the people of Israel. May I learn the lessons You desire to teach me so that I may mature in the faith by trusting Your Word and obeying Your commands. And he comes to help me and do for me what I can't do for myself. Here then we have all laid bare. When things aren't going right, I hear people sometimes make very foolish charges against God. The book of Deuteronomy throughout pre-eminently brings in the authority of God over a people in relationship with Himself, displayed and proved in obedience. It is not therefore a question of how far the offerings, etc. It was "the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee." On this we need not particularly dwell, but they are reminded of their own place. We may without difficulty see the admirable appropriateness of such an introduction. Crossed over Jordan finally and began the conquest of the land.So, an interesting little commentary. 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. 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. THE CHURCH'S DANGER - to abide at the mount, to settle down into a state of apathy or simple receptivity. Israel kept the path of right and courtesy. "4. He has given no title to adopt doctrines, practices, ways, government, or any one thing that is not His expressed will for His children. In advancing to take possession of the world for Christ, we have the encouragement of thinking that he knows precisely to what kind of work he is sending us, and yet promises success. What shall we drink? Moses says, "We turned," not "Ye," merely. Yet in this thing ye did not believe Jehovah your God, who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day." For a people in relationship with God such is the only possible way, either of pleasing Him, or of tasting that joy of the Lord which is the strength of His people. Now, apart from the irreverence of so treating an inspired book, such an impression is as far as possible from the fact. Not so. Deuteronomy has a character of its own totally distinct from that of its predecessors, as has been already pointed out and will appear more fully. 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 10:1-22 we find the provision of Jehovah's goodness is stated in a very striking way. XXI. 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. Redemption accomplished; Christ the head of the church above; the Holy Ghost sent down here below; and all this borne witness to in the worship and in the ways of Christians and the church. We have to consider whether we are undertaking it out of some human desire of heroism. As God loved Moses, so Moses confided in God. Times we know when the sense of what we have been, of what we are, and of God's putting all our evil away for ever by the death of His own Son, is too deep for joy if not for tears. In style similar to that of ancient treaty documents, Deuteronomy opens by recounting all that Yahweh, Israel's covenant God, has done for his people. 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. John here used the word "Jews" as a designation for the Jerusalemites, who, as enemies of Christ, were to be distinguished from the multitudes who were in doubt, [Illustration: (drop cap W) Clay letter tablet of Moses' time.] No compulsion was used to the nations outside. The Church, as one with Christ, shares in his kingdom, and shall yet inherit the whole earth. The trip from Egypt to Sinai was only preparation for the giving of the covenant. 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. It was after the golden calf, nay more than this; it was after the whole disciplinary dealings of Jehovah had now come to an end. His death to the law is not therefore to weaken the authority of the law, but because of the principles of divine grace which are now brought out in Christ risen from the dead, founded on His death, manifested in His resurrection, and maintained by the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven. The Christian is not a mere man, nor is he a Jew. It extends to Deuteronomy 4:40; and is divided from the second discourse by the Deu 1:4 :41-49. The other had its place when God was giving the book of Leviticus. He cites from none other. 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. This was guarded against from the first by the fact that no similitude of God was vouchsafed. Therefore it was that, when God told them to go up, they refused and suffered the consequence of their disobedience. And mark this; that it is not only joy in the Lord, but calling others to joy (ver. And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds; 20. To report dead links, typos, or html errors or suggestions about making these resources more useful use the convenient. In other words, he is saying that God went before you through the wilderness to search for the best place for you to pitch your tent and then led you by the fire and by the cloud.Oh, if we only realized how all encompassing the work of God is that surrounds our lives. To have confidence in God is one of the important points here, to cherish full confidence that whatever He gives us is the very best thing for us. In Deuteronomy 6:1-25 we find the first of those texts which our Lord quotes. The wish emanated neither from God nor His servant but from the people, though Moses, at God's command, did send them to the ruin of that generation, as it turned out And it has been well remarked on the one hand, that he graciously omits to repeat God's offer to make himself a fresh stock after their destruction but for his intercession; while on the other he confesses how he, no less than their fathers, had grieved Jehovah, so that he was not to lead them into the land any more than they, but to give that place of honour to Joshua. (October, a.d. He was a descendant of Aaron, and belonged to one of the wealthiest and most influential families among the Jewish merchant-princes of Egypt. "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.". [It was now eighteen months since Jesus had visited Jerusalem, at which time he had healed the impotent man at Bethesda. However Judea, here and there, doth swell out much with mountains, yet its chief swelling appears in that broad back of mountains, that runs from the utmost southern cost as far as Hebron, and almost as Jerusalem itself. "Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you; thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword," the small things as well as great. They failed to enter in by faith to that which God had promised to them. To hear someone, you know, making all these accusations against God, horrible things, it's tragic. ], "The Lords gift of Canaan to Israel (Deuteronomy 1:8) and his command to them to enter and to possess the land began here and was reiterated and emphasized repeatedly in the speeches of Moses recorded in Deuteronomy. THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY. Bless me with divine strength that comes from you, Lord. It is not the tabernacle, nor the priest, not the wilderness, but obeying God as His people in the land. And that which I could not do because of the weakness of my flesh I find that God has done for me and has made provision for me through the power of the Holy Spirit. But their fathers would not obey at that time. [Breakfast with the Jews came late in the forenoon, and these closing days of our Lord's ministry were full of activity that did not have time to tarry at Bethany for it. It was otherwise with Mahomet. Consequently, when Christianity began, the first day of the week was made the distinguishing mark, the Lord's-day, and not the sabbath. This fact appears to be of some importance, because notoriously difficulties have been raised, on the score of practicability, as to the various ordinances requiring sacrifices and offerings where the means did not appear. "I will not give you of their land." The tragedy of unbelief, verse thirty-two.Now, I love this. Next we see what was the fact when they did go up spite of the warning of God to fight the Amorites. Because they had not a particle of confidence in God. 7 Break camp and advance into the hill country of the Amorites; go to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah, in the mountains, in the western foothills, in the Negev and along the coast, to the land of the . maro itoje harrow house; cupid shuffle artist net worth; lakeside garden centre warminster menu "Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle. 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. 1. "The Deuteronomist, writing at a later period of the same arrangement [the mission of the spies in Numbers], represents the people proposing the measure to Moses, who on consideration resolved to execute it, because it approved itself to his heart and conscience: 'Ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land; and the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe.' So the commandment of God; "you've been here long enough, you've circled this mountain long enough". Once more obedience is pre-eminently the matter, and this too as delivered men once bondslaves, but now free to obey (ver. A lion's whelp is Judah; from the prey, my son, thou goest up; he stoopeth down, he coucheth as a lion, and as a full-grown lion, who shall rouse him up? He sets Himself against the high places; He will not have them. 364-366.). There was no doubt whatever that Esau had behaved so ill that the children of Israel were not likely to forget it. There were reasons due to God's character why Moses should not bring the people into the laud. The time was near the end of the fortieth year since they came out of Egypt. He's looking now outside of himself for the help. This makes the principle at stake to be felt the more. 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. Many of them did not see the miracle of the Red Sea being parted. Mark how very strikingly this is shown. This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee. 2). He had compromised Him at a critical occasion, and could not but feel that so it was. At the same time there is the gracious bringing in of God, and of what was suited to the people of God, when ruin was there. 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! We however are not under law but grace. [173] Philo was born in Alexandria, about the year 20 before Christ. They possess that inimitable solemnity which cannot be so much uttered in words as felt in the general bearing of the book. *. O. T. i. 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. It is not to be doubted that the words cited from Deuteronomy were the very best that they were chosen according to divine perfection. ii. We have the consecration of the people to God. The fact is that, no matter what might be the measure of carrying them out in the wilderness, God was setting forth by them the shadows of good things to come. 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. 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.) With this they did not at all like to comply; and thus the same spirit which declined to go up in obedience to Jehovah refuses to go back in submission to Him. "The saying pleased me well, and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe: and they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eschol, and searched it out. God must and does choose for Himself a simple yet most important consideration (ver. 8-10. 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. He too it was who had given the Mount to Esau: that was enough. 2. 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.
