deuteronomy 1:6 prayer points

6.The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb. This is the grand pith of the chapter as it appears to me. The time was near the end of the fortieth year since they came out of Egypt. The Israelites realized nothing of the kind. But. 12). i. p. 42, note 4.) 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. This seems to me put to the test in the question of the land of Edom. We are studying Deuteronomy 6:1-9 for Sunday, December 2. (Exodus 20:1; Deuteronomy 5:22. Every motive of gratitude and compassion should urge us to it. 45-48. It is no use talking about Israel: the first object is God. "but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of Jehovah doth man live." I can't stand that. What shall we drink? And though he recounts the forty years from Egypt to coming into the land, yet we are told that these things came in the eleventh month in the first day of the fortieth year. They knew it was not God's will that forty years of wilderness wanderings should lie between Egypt and the Promised Land (Deut. We however are not under law but grace. They got their eyes upon the obstacles rather of than the power of God to remove the obstacles.And this is the mistake that we so often make as we look at our own lives and we look at the dominion that our flesh has had over us. 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 first section, i.-iv. 10. And in the fortieth year, the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that the LORD had given him commandment unto them; After they had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelled in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, on the eastside of Jordan, Moses began to declare this law ( Deuteronomy 1:2-5 ). In Deuteronomy 12:1-32 we have statutes and judgments. Then they are told not to celebrate the feast indiscriminately where and as they please. 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. 6 The Lord our God said to us at Horeb, "You have stayed long enough at this mountain. It is the same principle here again as elsewhere. "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. vi. This was the mount that burned with fire (Hebrews 12:18), and gendered to bondage,Galatians 4:24. "Why would God leave there and then you know, dump me?" They could take possession of no lands whatever of their own will. DAY 6 PRAYER POINTS. And here the people were making this blasphemous accusation; "because God hates us, he brought us out here". ", Next, he presses their singular privilege in His presence with them. It probably covers the last month and a half of Moses' life. In Deuteronomy 15:1-23 we find a similar principle as to the year of release. cxliii. Hey, it's time to go in and begin to possess that which God has promised unto you." Then follows the appointment, iv. p. 136 (Pitman's Edition). [Note: C. F. Keil and Franz Delitzsch, Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament: Pentateuch, 3:284.] Posted 11:47 pm by & filed under can you fly with pericarditis. 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. 5, 11, 14, 18, 21, 26). God wanted to free them from the horrible bondage of Egypt, yet now they are accusing God of hating them.You remember the case of Job, it said in all of these things, that is the loss of his family and his wealth and all, he did not curse God neither did he charge God foolishly. *It is distressing that any man bearing the Christian name should write as does Dr. Davidson. The first and introductory address of Moses to the people is here commenced. 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. Ver. If a person takes what does not belong to him, every man, even a heathen, can judge it. It seems probable to us that the record in Exodus is the more exact. What a guard this was against the misuse of outward forms! To hear someone, you know, making all these accusations against God, horrible things, it's tragic. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.". And you know God told me to go here and it was just really horrible and all," and all this stuff. 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. 303)." They were the dues He demanded in virtue of His position as landlord of the people in the land. Jehovah your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes; and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that Jehovah thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place. God is saying to you, "Hey, you've been there long enough, walking in circles. 11-52. This is a benigner method of conquest, and it will prove successful if we advance with faith and courage. Temple Cleansed. (1) Et non sans cause; and not without reason. None ever honoured God's word as Christ did. This is precisely what does put man to the proof morally. 4; iv. It is strange how little we know of the personal history of the greatest of uninspired Jewish writers of old, though he occupied so prominent a position in his time. "Jehovah God that hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt" He was the only God. This is so decided that in the millennial age there will be a strict maintenance of that day with all the authority of God Himself, vested in and exercised by the Messiah governing Israel and the earth. "Who shall deliver me" and God's answer then comes, "I am delivered by the power the dynamic of the spirit for ye shall receive power when the Holy Ghost comes upon you"( Acts 1:8 ). Many of them did not see the miracle of the Red Sea being parted. 8-10. 5, 6; 1 Tim. (6) The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb. In Deuteronomy 9:1-29 another topic is prominent. "Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon." Og the king came out, and as with Heshbon, so with Bashan. Deuteronomy is an eminently practical book. He wanted to leave them his blessing nay, he wanted them to have the best blessing that God could give them. (October, a.d. And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; 19. Moses reflected on the past mainly as Israels history stands revealed in the earlier books of the Pentateuch. Which the Holy Scripture called "The hill-country of Judah," Joshua 21:11; Luke 1:39. 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? Begin to move forward in your spiritual development, in your spiritual life. Rebuilding the Temple (Ezra 1:1-6:22) Bible Commentary / Produced by TOW Project The Book of Ezra begins with a decree from King Cyrus of Persia, allowing the Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple that had been destroyed by the Babylonians in 587 BC (Ezra 1:2-4). If they were going to possess the land, let them remember it was God's land, not theirs. Genesis 39: 2-6. . 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. "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." 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. 24. It consists of moral addresses, and appeals in a tone quite unexampled in all the five books of Moses. Deuteronomy 1:6. Ah! So this is where the word Deuteronomy comes from "Moses began to declare this law". The first chapter takes cognizance of themselves; the second chapter puts them to the test in the presence of other people. I know God will do it; I do not require to put Him to the proof. Now, apart from the irreverence of so treating an inspired book, such an impression is as far as possible from the fact. 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. *. But for the Christian a very essential feature of his standing is that he is delivered from the status of man or Israel, and called to Christ and heavenly things. 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." But the tone, mind, and heart of Moses are nowhere more characteristically apparent than in these his last words to the people of Jehovah whom he loved. See Romans 8:15. 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. However, this was not the promised Land. "Is He then indeed your Father?" But Israel is called to action. We have the consecration of the people to God. At all events, whatever may be His grace, whatever His ways with His people, obedience is that with which He cannot dispense. Certainly they could not; this Jehovah spreads in the most forcible manner before His people for their cheer and stay. May I quickly confess my faults and choose life (to the saving of the soul) and not death. Here is a list of powerful I AM affirmations that could be used as prayer points. Here then they are called to action. Praying through Deuteronomy 6:7 . It is obedience. 2). The inspired editor may have given later names, and added "as it is in this day," or explanatory remarks. A people holy to Jehovah must not eat anything that dies of itself, nor accustom itself to an uncomely act, were it with a dumb and dead kid and the milk of its dam. As the epithet applied to God, "Jehovah our God," presupposes the reception of Israel into covenant with Jehovah, which took place at Sinai, so the words, "ye have dwelt long enough at this mountain," imply that the purpose for which Israel was taken to Horeb had been answered, i.e., that they had been furnished with the laws and ordinances requisite for the fulfilment of the covenant, and could now remove to Canaan to take possession of the promised land. 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. There were reasons due to God's character why Moses should not bring the people into the laud. But it was not a question here of truth or its forms, but of obedience: this is ever in view. 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. In Deuteronomy 6:1-9, . "On comparing the decalogue as recorded inExodus 20:2-17; Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21, it will be observed, "1. Not surprisingly, they were defeated and driven back into the wilderness (41-46). The prospect which he gave them of a happy and early settlement in Canaan: Go to the land of the Canaanites (Deuteronomy 1:7; Deuteronomy 1:7); enter and take possession, it is all your own. Giants had dwelt there in times past, and the Ammonites called them Zamzummims. 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. Bearing this in mind, any reader can see that "at that time" in verse 8 really coalesces with "at that time" in verses 1-6, and therefore is in perfect accord withNumbers 8:1-26; Numbers 8:1-26; and yet is it repeated in p. 336. He might and would give it to them, but still He always kept His place. Moses mentions how the saying pleased him: here things are stated exactly as they were. Accordingly this is the solemn and central truth that is brought in here. 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. If God had held to the terms of that covenant, never could the people have found their way into Canaan; but God was pleased to bring in fresh terms by a way which will be shown before we have done with this sketch of Deuteronomy; and it was simply and solely because of those fresh terms of mercy which God Himself brought in of His own grace that Israel entered there. Consequently we have these three feasts, which set forth particularly Jehovah providing to fill the heart of His people with peace and joy to overflowing, Yet at the first of these feasts Israel were not told to rejoice. 94.]. Still stubborn and disobedient, the people who would not go into Canaan with God then tried to conquer the country without him. iii. The book of Deuteronomy discloses it. This claim, based on God's act of bringing Israel out of enslavement in Egypt, is also highlighted at the end of this chapter (6:20-25 . Look at the way in which Jehovah treated even these enemies of Israel. This men forget. The Blessing of Jacob Upon Judah. 30.) And in verse Deuteronomy 1:2 is a little commentary, it says. Thus, for the renewal of the covenant described in Deuteronomy, the prologue recalls not only the covenants history, but also the ability of the Lord of the covenant to fulfill his promise. I do not envy them the thought that God has not revealed His mind about what is nearest to Himself, and what most of all is bound up with His glory! III. In Deuteronomy 16:1-17 (where I now stop) we have the winding up of all this part the termination of the statutes which had to do with religion. It ought most of all to shock the Christian. The Israelites thought to settle the whole matter with God by saying, "We have sinned;" but then they proved that there was nothing settled, nothing right; because what really pleases God is this the acceptance of His good will, whatever it be. 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. The prime duty for every creature, whether Jew or Christian, is obedience. 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. Monday, April 4, a.d. When such a death is really before one in service, then perhaps the difficulties would be incomparably more felt; for the Lord does not call to such a course or end to gratify human nature, or to give an opportunity for glorifying man, but always for His own glory. Indeed he could not have written either in its present form, because that in Exodus is Jehovistic, and older than the record in Deuteronomy. 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. 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? Not that I doubt the sabbath-day to be of the deepest possible moment, and so lasting in its claims that, when the millennium comes, that day of rest will be in full force again. The consequence is that, though all have their place, these distinctions may here seem small indeed. "Because Jehovah hated us, he hath brought us forth out of Egypt." The Church, as one with Christ, shares in his kingdom, and shall yet inherit the whole earth. * 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. Plainly then the savage knows quite well that it is unjustifiable to steal. The LORD our God said to us at Horeb: "You have stayed at this mountain long enough. 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). cxliii. It was God who made the family rejoice, and they were to go out to those that were strangers to it. In the very first place is laid down utter destruction of the high places. The object is quite different. "The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there. Satan took advantage of the scripture that said that He should not dash His foot against a stone. 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. i. They failed to enter in by faith to that which God had promised to them. Consequently it is not an isolated fact that they wished spies, or that Jehovah acceded to their desire to have them (this we have already seen), but here "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 bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come." It is evident that they are somehow or another connected with God, and touch matters of religion, as men would say. He would have them happy in Himself, and enjoying all He had given them to enjoy. Deuteronomy 7:1-26 one may sum up in a very few words. There was no doubt whatever that Esau had behaved so ill that the children of Israel were not likely to forget it. 6 "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. A disgraceful perversion; for Deuteronomy 10:6-7 is manifestly a parenthesis. And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone." We can all see how very bad it was in Israel; but do we feel that it is still worse in the Christian? 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. 9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the . 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. In Deuteronomy 10:1-22 we find the provision of Jehovah's goodness is stated in a very striking way. But ye that did cleave unto Jehovah your God are alive every one of you this day." This was their real object. ". He had compromised Him at a critical occasion, and could not but feel that so it was. Taking the passage in this light, and reading the wider truth into it, we get the idea of a land which is: 1. Is not this very notable? 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. 1. But in Israel's case God enforced a far more thorough and searching discipline in all their ways. 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. [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. For we must remember that the sabbath does not mean a seventh day, as some persons (I am sorry to say) equivocate; but the seventh day and no other. I said, "Hey, you shut up and get out of here. It is evident therefore, that this book has the most sensible difference from all that preceded it. Nobody likes this. 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. 364-366.). 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. This is then what he was pressing. 11-52. 18, 19, 12, 13; ^B Mark XI. in keeping with the rhetorical style of the book." Consequently there is here a heavy blow struck at the tendency towards idolatry. 2. 5-8; 1 Cor. [It was now eighteen months since Jesus had visited Jerusalem, at which time he had healed the impotent man at Bethesda. Hence Moses says, "These words Jehovah spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. "Virtually all of Palestine and Syria are included in these terms [in Deuteronomy 1:7], an area larger than Israel ever possessed in fact, even during the reigns of David and Solomon." For a Jew no doubt there is the law of Moses. But he found that there was another law, a perverse kind of a law, that whenever he would do good, evil was present with him. But we must not overlook another part of the chapter not the Lord strengthening the people against the mightiest of adversaries, but Israel reminded of their rebellious heart even under such circumstances against Jehovah. This is the plain gist of the book. II. 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. Moses began his recollections of the journey by reminding the people that their coming possession of Canaan was solely because of Gods grace, not because of any virtue in them (1:1-8).Only through Gods mercy had they grown into a strong and contented people who enjoyed the blessing (rare among ancient races) of just, impartial and humanitarian government (9-18). (Deuteronomy 1:11 NKJV). The priests were Levites. And as for the children of Ammon, they too had passed through similar experience. And what was the Lord's answer? "Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons.". Ver. 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). So this fact also is used. 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. To what were they always inclined? 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 to all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them ( Deuteronomy 1:2-3 ); So, there's an eleven-day journey from Horeb to Kadeshbarnea to the beginning of entering into the Promised Land, but they have been journeying for forty years and eleven months on an eleven-day journey. And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone: Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.'' It is possible, however, that the ipsissima verba may be in one or other. This he had fully shown in the history. Let's turn to Deuteronomy. This is the meaning of it, and such is precisely the path of duty. 7. This was their point of imitating God. It was not yet Christ manifested, but man under trial of the law and its ordinances and restraints, dealt with as living in the world, and instructed in view of this present life. In general, Moses spoke unto them all that the Lord had given him in commandment (Deuteronomy 1:3; Deuteronomy 1:3), which intimates, not only that what he now delivered was for substance the same with what had formerly been commanded, but that it was what God now commanded him to repeat. These bear chiefly the character of logical deductions, and as such were largely applied in the Halakhah. Such conversion does not suit God, who must have His own. 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. It is long since the oracle declared that God had given Christ the heathen for his inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for his possession (Psalm 2:8). xlv. 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. It was by this Scripture that the Lord, as we know, repelled the first temptation of the adversary. 5, 6; 1 Tim. Deuteronomy 4:1. It is the design of the book which governs the description in each case. They possess that inimitable solemnity which cannot be so much uttered in words as felt in the general bearing of the book. Every part of my life is BLESSED! Israel's stay at the mount was good while it lasted, There was a danger that Israel's stay at the mount might last too long, The conquest of which is commanded by God, Early in the year 1857. 5-8; 1 Cor. Thus was kept up a thorough sense of discipline in the people, and above all dependence on and confidence in Jehovah. 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. Mark how very strikingly this is shown. By whom? the relation of the inner motives for the sending of the spies. The very point of faith, for which we are especially responsible, is what we are in most danger of forgetting under pressure or carelessness. So they began the forty years of wandering in the wilderness, which Moses begins to rehearse for them in chapter two. Others might be optional, but these feasts were obligatory. "Jehovah heard the voice of your words and was wroth, and sware saying, Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land which I sware to give unto your fathers.". Hence, I need not say, there is peculiar solemnity in its character. It is the book which our Lord quotes in His temptations with Satan. deserved.
