And mark this; that it is not only joy in the Lord, but calling others to joy (ver. It is pentecost. 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. But in Deuteronomy the point is to centralize them all around Jehovah Himself. Some wonder why it should be joined with the other commandments; but the sabbath is so much the more important here, because it is not strictly a moral command. Know ye not that the old man was crucified with Christ? Not that this made the smallest cloud between Master and servant. What God was displaying by them has now found its meaning, since Christ was revealed and the mighty work of redemption effected. How many one has known who would have liked much to be martyrs! With this then most fittingly He begins. When things aren't going right, I hear people sometimes make very foolish charges against God. Now wherein lay this fitness not only in the words that were cited, but in the particular book from which they were extracted? * 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. How good is our God, and what a witness of His grace! May the Lord give us hearts to rejoice in all His, grace and truth and glory! They failed to enter in by faith to that which God had promised to them. "You've encompassed this mount" God said, "long enough. 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 Deuteronomy 8:1-20 we have quite a different character. Then in Deuteronomy 13:1-18 there is a similar line, all these early injunctions being what we may call religious statutes. 6. This is pursued to the end of the chapter, with the institution of the cities where the manslayer might find refuge. ). Psalm 42 It reinforces his earlier exhortations in Deuteronomy 7:12-15 and 28:2-12. There is a time in our Christian experience of growth and development and there is sort of the legitimate wilderness experience, but God surely does not want you to spend your whole life in the wilderness. "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.". * 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. (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb to Kadeshbarnea.) The lawgiver, about to be taken from them, looks back on all the past; but he looks forward also to the land they were about to enter. 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 ). Deuteronomy 1:6-9: Pulpit Commentary Homiletics. 5; John iv. "Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as Jehovah my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. ii. 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. I`m blessed physiologically! The sermon that appears in The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, vol. But their fathers would not obey at that time. No matter what it may cost, he assumes that he will at once go through with the will of the Lord. We know well that, if God made known His acts unto Israel, He made His ways known unto Moses. In all the three occasions the Lord Jesus draws His answers from the book of Deuteronomy. Jehovah was most careful exactly where He had least sympathy. In the very first place is laid down utter destruction of the high places. These bear chiefly the character of logical deductions, and as such were largely applied in the Halakhah. Thus: God is that one spiritual and infinitely perfect essence, whose being is of himself eternally (Deut. "Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name." After God speaks it is time to move to the next level. 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. A fair question arises for those who honour the divine word, why events so long severed in time are thus introduced seemingly together. Moses recounts for them the history of what had taken place before as a warning not to repeat the same mistakes. However, this was not the promised Land. Nobody likes this. 40, Moses, after reviewing the recent history of the people, and showing how it reveals Jehovah's love for Israel, earnestly urges upon them the duty of keeping His laws, reminding them of His spirituality and absoluteness. We're the ones that place the limits on God's work. They are no longer to go up and take possession of the land, but to turn back and take their journey into the wilderness. Not any ordinary fleshly sin on our part, as many suppose. The mount of blessing and the mount of curse were there on the other side Jordan. Gifted by God (ver. ], "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. For although there were flocks and herds led into the wilderness with the children of Israel at the command of Jehovah, and they may have added more from enemies they conquered, the fact just now referred to meets and removes a host of objections raised about it, and proves that the nature of these ordinances has not been understood. God said that He's not gonna deliver them into your hand" and how that they armed themselves anyhow and went up against the hill of the Amorites and were pursued by them. "Jehovah said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies. Known thoroughly, in all its parts, peoples, districts, conformation, accessibilities, and inaccessibilities. He quotes accordinglyPsalms 91:1-16; Psalms 91:1-16, intimating to Jesus that, if He were the Son of God, all He had to do was to throw Himself from the pinnacle of the temple; and all must endorse His claims. Consequently there is here a heavy blow struck at the tendency towards idolatry. 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. Covenant favour would surely do as much for Israel as providence had done for Moab and Ammon! He has given no title to adopt doctrines, practices, ways, government, or any one thing that is not His expressed will for His children. But. 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. Because they had not a particle of confidence in God. In Deuteronomy 5:14 is the addition, 'thine ox nor thine ass,' as well as the clause, 'that thy man-servant and thy maid-servant may rest as well as thou.' 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! But they saw the giants in the land and the high-walled cities instead of God. There are two places noted by the name Rekam in the very bounds of the land,--to wit, the southern and eastern: that is, a double Kadesh. It is obedience. "The good that I would I do not. But ye that did cleave unto Jehovah your God are alive every one of you this day." But God will lift you to the highest level you will let him. "Reckon ye your old man to be dead with Christ. The Mosaic Covenant is central in Deuteronomy. Therefore, I must take a position of faith and recognize that the old nature, the life of the flesh, was crucified with Christ in order that I might now live after the new nature, the nature of Christ, and living now after the spirit. Thus does dying Jacob, in announcing Ernst Wilhelm HengstenbergChristology of the Old Testament, DeuteronomyOwing to the comparatively loose nature of the connection between consecutive passages in the legislative section, it is difficult to present an adequate summary of the book of Deuteronomy. "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. When Peter and John came to the Samaritans, and found that they were, '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. 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? This is constantly forgotten when men talk about the moral law. That it is said of both, " God spake all these words." "Jehovah said unto me, Fear not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. [173] Philo was born in Alexandria, about the year 20 before Christ. In short, whatever it be to which God summons us is precisely what the devil endeavours to obscure, and so to hinder our testimony. He may not at all have understood at the moment what was working in the people; but all is told out. Of it, in the eastern part, there is this mention: "From Rekam to the east, and Rekam is as the John LightfootFrom the Talmud and Hebraica, Barren Fig-Tree. 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. 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. But God, in fact, is always left out of the calculations of unbelief. They were to remember what rebellion must end in. The Lord puts no weapon of a kind to injure any into our hands; but bids us leave vengeance with himself. 1. Here we see that God had a most deliberate choice in the smallest matters as well as in the greatest; but He begins with what most nearly touches His presence. Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz. 24. It was not then and there that Aaron died, as he alas! 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 is the sceptic's puny effort to lower the character and credit of scripture. 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. And this is another chapter from which our Lord quotes when tempted, to which we may refer in passing. Such then is the early and remarkably striking introduction to the book. But we are wrong. 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. Og the king came out, and as with Heshbon, so with Bashan. 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. The conquest of which is commanded by God. Many of them did not see the miracle of the Red Sea being parted. XXI. But then as he moves into the eighth chapter of Romans, he found the answer to his cry. But the cry must come, "Who shall deliver me?" Our, (October, a.d. 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. Let's turn to Deuteronomy. 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. John Edgar McFadyenIntroduction to the Old Testament. That generation had passed away no doubt. Now it was God's desire all along to bring them into the land. Then follows the appointment, iv. 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. So it was done; but it is added that, when they did depart from Horeb and went through the wilderness, "which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God doth give unto us. 2). Notice: 1. Monday, April 4, a.d. No doubt the malicious mind of the sceptic takes occasion from it to turn what he does not seek to understand to the disparagement of inspiration. Giants had dwelt there in times past, and the Ammonites called them Zamzummims. Next we see what was the fact when they did go up spite of the warning of God to fight the Amorites. maro itoje harrow house; cupid shuffle artist net worth; lakeside garden centre warminster menu In Psalms it says, "And they limited the holy one of Israel by their unbelief" ( Psalms 78:41 ). 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. It is not a book for the wilderness, except for their hearts to look back on whilst on the borders before they entered the land. One of the most weighty duties is not properly a moral question at all, but depends simply on the commandment of God. 4; Eph. In Deuteronomy 6:1-25 we find the first of those texts which our Lord quotes. De 1:7 'Turn and set your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and to all their neighbors in the Arabah, in the hill country and in the lowland and in the Negev and .read more Scripture: Deuteronomy 1:6-8 Above all the prime object is to press obedience on the people of God, but the obedience of a people who had already found what it was to have utterly broken down on their own assumed responsibility. It is not the death of Christ with all its solemn, however blessed, issues. I do not regard this as evincing the spirit of obedience, but rather a spice of self-confidence. W. McGarveyThe Four-Fold Gospel, Moses and his Writings[Illustration: (drop cap W) Clay letter tablet of Moses' time.] 24; 2 Cor. This then is the crucial test, so to speak, which Moses applies throughout; this is the homily; for indeed Deuteronomy we may call a book of divine homilies in this respect. 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 the harvest there is the gathering in of the good and the extinction of the evil; but the vintage knows nothing but vengeance from God. Israel kept the path of right and courtesy. (Ad. Ye have dwelt long enough, c. Exodus 19:1-2 and left it the twentieth of the second month of the second year, so it appears they had continued there nearly a whole year. These bear chiefly the character of logical deductions, and as such were largely applied in the Halakhah. Though God brings his people into trouble and affliction, into spiritual trouble and affliction of mind, he knows when they have dwelt long enough in it, and will certainly find a time, the fittest time, to advance them from the terrors of the spirit of adoption. Man must not presume to choose. The fact is that redemption, even in type, is a stronger motive to obedience than creation itself. The time was near the end of the fortieth year since they came out of Egypt. ii., pp. This is now developed. Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God: and ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because Jehovah hated us." Where else can be found such jealous care as this? It seems just a parenthesis, and not a question of chronology.*. 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. If it were merely a question of man, nobody would think of choosing for another. Inquiry is Made, Whether the Doubling it in the Maps is Well Done. And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore: meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land; no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given Mount Seir unto Esau for a possession." 7. (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by way of mount Seir to Kadeshbarnea.) The children of Moab had had their wars. Was anything like this the rule where man even took up the Bible for his own ends? Still more take the opposite hypothesis and contend that its legislation is of a later character than that of the preceding book. 8). And he started complaining so much about God I grabbed hold of him. "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." Ver. What a difference between God's conduct of His people, and man's corruption of it! We shall find a fresh one made in the land of Moab, but first of all they are reminded of the Sinaitic covenant. THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY. We have to remember that we get and learn only that we may apply and act. [It was now eighteen months since Jesus had visited Jerusalem, at which time he had healed the impotent man at Bethesda. Then again we have what is always brought out in the book of Deuteronomy. 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. We now begin to understand a little of the very beginning of God's Book--of the times in which it was written, the materials used by its first author, and the different kinds of writing from which he had to choose; but we must go a step farther. So long God had borne their manners, and they had borne their own iniquity (Numbers 14:34), and now that a new and more pleasant scene was to be introduced, as a token for good, Moses repeats the law to them. Ver. 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. 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. (Exodus 18:23) But inDeuteronomy 1:9; Deuteronomy 1:9, etc., Moses speaks of the same institution as his own without any reference to Jethro, or the divine command of which Jethro spoke." There is the peril of religion becoming a species of enjoyment. But Israel is called to action. What a guard this was against the misuse of outward forms! will be blessed. 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 . The life that God wants you to live, a life of victory, a life of overcoming. deuteronomy 1:6 prayer points. There is no mercy shown in the vintage. If therefore God was dishonoured by the high places, they must all come down. "I have given Mount Seir unto Esau for a possession." 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). 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. Unless I am very much mistaken,--the maps of Adricomus, Tirinius, and others, ought to be corrected, which have feigned to John LightfootFrom the Talmud and Hebraica, Kadesh. Taking the passage in this light, and reading the wider truth into it, we get the idea of a land which is: 1. He cites from none other. Deuteronomy is an eminently practical book. Accordingly the very large introduction is an address to the people for the purpose of enforcing these claims. Hence, I need not say, there is peculiar solemnity in its character. Ver. It was by this Scripture that the Lord, as we know, repelled the first temptation of the adversary. ), "2 Notwithstanding such express declaration, the following diversities occur. This he had fully shown in the history. 367.). A few, however, think that the record in Deuteronomy is the more exact, because when Moses recorded the words in Exodus he had heard the decalogue pronounced; whereas, when he repeated it in Deuteronomy, it was in his hands, inscribed in permanent letters. They hesitated and by staying outside of the land, they were not obeying God's instructions. Was it not the pettishness of disobedient children, if ever there were such? But no, God would not have them to meddle. Lad the phrase been inverted to "the Levites the priests" (which never occurs), there would have been some force in the argument: as it is, there is none.
