It is most instructive to note how exceedingly anxious the early Christians were, that, as soon as a man was converted, he should be "filled with the Holy Ghost." vi. NOTE: This edition of this sermon is taken from an earlier published edition of Spurgeon's 1857 message. God appointed judges (Deuteronomy 1:16) to help Moses carry the burden of legal decisions that resulted from the giving of the Law. In the first section, i.-iv. They were a people brought into relationship with God, and the object of His words was to guard them from practical inconsistency with that relationship. But God is very careful, in the face of the passover, that there should not be a forgetfulness of that escape which brought them out together then. 10. 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. It was to be a real fealty: it was not merely a dogma pure and simple, but to be known as a fact. 5. In the commandment to keep it Jehovah the God of Israel speaks to this effect: "Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the sabbath of Jehovah thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work." - J.O. THE CHURCH'S DESTINY - to possess the land. (Ad. The word Deuteronomy means the second law. 30.) The truth is that the difference is due to moral development of Israel according to Jehovah's wisdom on the eve of introducing His people into the land, and the more settled and social habits He would have them cultivate there. "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. 5, 6; 1 Tim. The hardest thing to find now in a Christian is real intelligence about Christianity. Hence, while he fails not to show that Jehovah was with himself, and how Joshua was to displace him, he does not hesitate to set before all the story of his own shame, so to speak. These bear chiefly the character of logical deductions, and as such were largely applied in the Halakhah. This indicates that Moses assumed that those who read Deuteronomy would have prior knowledge of his preceding four books. I pray that I may abide in Christ and He in me and that my life would be a testimony to Your goodness and grace. 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 . That was a tragedy of failure on their part and it was a failure of faith. And he comes to help me and do for me what I can't do for myself. Thus when the story of their rebellion is mentioned, it leads Moses to go back and to trace how this spirit betrayed itself even so early as at Horeb; for when it is a question of rebellion, we must go to the root of it. "Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn. I said, "Hey, you shut up and get out of here. "Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life." They did not have a personal memory of the horrible bondage in Egypt. Here we find out that the request for the spies actually came from the people and that it seemed good unto Moses. "And thou shalt remember all the way which Jehovah thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no." It is not merely "thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto Jehovah thy God with a tribute of free-will offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give, according as Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee," but "seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah shall choose: because Jehovah thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the increase of thine hands; therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.". Now he dwells chiefly on their part in the matter, confessing his own inability to cope with their great increase, which ho touchingly entreats God to swell a thousand times, but withal urges on the rulers to judge righteously. Then follows the appointment, iv. We were bondmen, and are not. The time was near the end of the fortieth year since they came out of Egypt. "The Lord our God spoke to us at Horeb, saying, You have stayed long enough at this mountain. They had been bondmen themselves; and if they had been delivered of God, they should cultivate the same spirit as He had shown. 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). All this is made to converge on the children. (October, a.d. Then comes out another instance. Setting up other gods in the wilderness. Monday, April 4, a.d. 5; John iv. 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. Known to God (ver. So this fact also is used. And yet the inability to bring the flesh into conformity with the spirit of God. Gifted by God (ver. 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 . The quotation is from Dennis Baly, The Geography of the Bible.]. How good is our God, and what a witness of His grace! "Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the highway, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left. Og the king came out, and as with Heshbon, so with Bashan. (Deuteronomy 1:11 NKJV). Thus, after God's controversy with them on account of the golden calf, the first and surest sign of God's being reconciled to them was the renewing of the tables. . Sihon rushed on them to his own ruin; and only so did Israel smite and dispossess the king of Heshbon. 8. The spring of obedience was wanting. 8 "You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. There is another remark to be made. Is this what you read? Such is the point here in the seventh chapter. In Deuteronomy 5:1-33 we come to still closer quarters. How much did Moses know about the history of his forefathers, Abraham and Jacob, and of all the old nations and kings mentioned in Genesis, before God called him to the great work of writing Mildred DuffThe Bible in its Making, Appendix ii. Therefore it was that, when God told them to go up, they refused and suffered the consequence of their disobedience. I pray for the younger generation that are surrounded by increasing attacks on the Word of God. 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). in keeping with the rhetorical style of the book." We may rejoice in the God that has so dealt with us, but is it becoming that Christ's death should be a call to transports? Men have reasoned with great detail, especially in recent years, enquiring how all this could be done in the desert by a people who found it hard enough to pass unscathed themselves, though they had Jehovah their God with them to feed them with angels' bread, and water if need were from the rock. This closes the first part of Deuteronomy. 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. Prayer Point #3: Pray for Those Being Persecuted Because of the Gospel. But. "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. What we have here is not a repetition; it leads us into things secret what wrought in the people and hindered their blessing. Those who persist in hardening themselves must indeed be destroyed; but not by us. And the grand principle too we may just notice in passing: Jehovah reminds them by Moses that He had allowed much while they were in the wilderness which could not be tolerated now (ver. 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. We need further insight to think the right way and make right life decisions. 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? The passage insists on the unity of the true God. It was God who made the family rejoice, and they were to go out to those that were strangers to it. 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. "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. Who shall deliver me from this bondage to my flesh?" The same principle is steadily pursued on all sides. Then in Deuteronomy 13:1-18 there is a similar line, all these early injunctions being what we may call religious statutes. 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. Your fruit baskets and breadboards. Here are the list of prayers we have studied in the book of Numbers: The Mark the very fact here set before us: not a single man of the congregation of Jehovah that left Egypt passed into the holy land save two individuals, who identified themselves by faith from the very first with the glory of Jehovah. The evil that I would not, that I do"( Romans 7:19 ). 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. I. The date of this sermon which Moses preached to the people of Israel. At the same time we are told how the tribe of Levi was separated, after having brought in (in an episodical way) an allusion to Aaron's death. It is evident that they are somehow or another connected with God, and touch matters of religion, as men would say. Bless me with divine strength that comes from you, Lord. Consequently it is an anticipation of what was before them. In His dealings with them He applied a higher standard, and far more severity. They're each of them seeking to rule our lives. 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. Still stubborn and disobedient, the people who would not go into Canaan with God then tried to conquer the country without him. 1 when all these blessings and curses i have set before you come upon you and you take them to heart wherever the lord your god disperses you among the nations, 2 and when you and your children return to the lord your god and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything i command you today, 3 then the lord your god 2). deuteronomy 1:6 prayer points. Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 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. And Moses said, "No, don't. 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. 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. He chose to have a place where He would put His name. 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." Heavenly Father, thank You for the Word of God and all the wisdom and instructions it contains. But God, in fact, is always left out of the calculations of unbelief. "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. i. 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. It is after this will come the full time of joy for the earth. The Lord, by the simple fact that He quotes Deuteronomy, gives evidence that He had before His eyes the condition of the people of God, whatever might be their own insensibility. Coming to the Valley of Eshcol, searching it out and taking the fruit and bringing it back. Psalm 42 It reinforces his earlier exhortations in Deuteronomy 7:12-15 and 28:2-12. These figures Moses was inspired to give as a whole to the people, entirely apart from the question whether they were or could be carried out according to the letter while passing through the wilderness. This was their point of imitating God. Both are substantially the decalogue; but Moses did not write both. 5, 6; 1 Tim. He has given no title to adopt doctrines, practices, ways, government, or any one thing that is not His expressed will for His children. The intercession of Moses prevailed so far for his brother and the people, that the one lived till near the end of the wanderings in the desert, and the others, instead of perishing as a whole at once, lived to take their journey from a land of wells (Beeroth) to Mosera where Aaron died at Mount Hor, and thence to Gudgodah, and to Jotbath, "a land of rivers of waters:" such was the patient goodness of God to both, as the long interval made the more marked.*. I`m blessed physiologically! The references to "the river Euphrates" (Deuteronomy 1:7) and "the stars of heaven for multitude" (Deuteronomy 1:10) hark back to Gods promises to Abraham. It was not merely a sight of God, but One who deigned to take the liveliest and most intimate interest in His people Israel. Then again we have what is always brought out in the book of Deuteronomy. Moses began his recital of Israels history at Horeb (Sinai) because this is where Yahweh adopted the nation by making the Mosaic Covenant with her. Deuteronomy 8:18. The LORD our God said to us at Horeb: "You have stayed at this mountain long enough. They failed to enter in by faith to that which God had promised to them. 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. Hence there is a tone of exceeding seriousness, as well as of chastened affection; there is a solemnity founded on the grand dealings of a God whose faithful and holy hand was now ushering them into His land. All this is brought out to Israel as the fruit of obeying Jehovah. Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz. Deuteronomy is an eminently practical book. Next follows the account of their fear before God's solemn words, their promise to obey, and the mediatorial place which the people desired and God sanctioned for Moses. There he kept them about a year, and then told them they had dwelt long enough there, they must go forward. [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. But it was not a question here of truth or its forms, but of obedience: this is ever in view. 5-8; 1 Cor. 2. Every part of my life is BLESSED! "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.". The man who said, "Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest," had no faith at all. We can all understand an orderly arrangement where there are types all arranged in a consecutive manner; but here in these moral exhortations it is, though in another way, just as sensible. Moses reflected on the past mainly as Israels history stands revealed in the earlier books of the Pentateuch. There was no doubt whatever that Esau had behaved so ill that the children of Israel were not likely to forget it. 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.' Now wherein lay this fitness not only in the words that were cited, but in the particular book from which they were extracted? In Deuteronomy 6:1-25 we find the first of those texts which our Lord quotes. 6.The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb. 8). Go in" and the key is of course "to possess the land which the Lord has sworn to your fathers. We need not dilate on the beautiful detail but at the same time simple truth of this chapter. Israel was called in everything to confide in Jehovah and obey. They are then shown what may or may not be eaten, whether beasts, fishes, or fowls. It is not to be doubted that the words cited from Deuteronomy were the very best that they were chosen according to divine perfection. Ver. 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." To hear someone, you know, making all these accusations against God, horrible things, it's tragic. We shall find a fresh one made in the land of Moab, but first of all they are reminded of the Sinaitic covenant. Now get moving. It is not the death of Christ with all its solemn, however blessed, issues. [It was now eighteen months since Jesus had visited Jerusalem, at which time he had healed the impotent man at Bethesda. When Peter and John came to the Samaritans, and found that they were John MacNeilThe Spirit-Filled Life, Afraid of Giants'And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain; 18. Power supernatural has not the smallest value, nay, is to be shunned rigorously, if it weakens consciences as to the true God. Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh "hereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. Accordingly this is the solemn and central truth that is brought in here. In the tenth day of the first month of the forty-first year, they crossed Jordan into the Promised Land after mourning the death of Moses for thirty days. It is ever the same duty of submission to God's will. They would not go up when Jehovah bid them, and when He commanded them to turn back, they wished to go forward. What nation had such a wonder as God Himself in their midst God Himself near the least of them? [173] Philo was born in Alexandria, about the year 20 before Christ. In Deuteronomy 11:1-32 is given the summing up of the whole matter, the practical conclusion which the lawgiver keeps before their eyes. I. THE CHURCH'S DANGER - to abide at the mount, to settle down into a state of apathy or simple receptivity. The same Spirit which has the power of miracle is the Spirit of truth and the Holy Spirit. The other had its place when God was giving the book of Leviticus. So the commandment of God; "you've been here long enough, you've circled this mountain long enough". 11). 4; iv. The readers of the eastern interpreters will observe, that Kadesh is rendered by all Rekam, or in a sound very near it. The sermon that appears in The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, vol. Did He warrant Israel to coerce Sihon with threats of vengeance or win by cajolery? II. His eyesight is still keen, he can still hear very well and he is addressing these people, rehearsing for them the work of God in their past because many of them were born while in the wilderness. The consequence is that, though all have their place, these distinctions may here seem small indeed. 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. Is there anything so wholesome! And when they had situations that were too difficult for them to handle, that Moses would handle those cases. * This it is well to note, as we should not have discovered it from the Book of Numbers. Jehovah had cut down the former generation for their disobedience. ( Romans 7:24 ). And as for the children of Ammon, they too had passed through similar experience. Although no creature can define what God is, because he is incomprehensible (Psal. Types are but sparsely presented over the great bulk of the instruction which crowds its pages. 367.). 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. It is not the people's consecration to God, but their discipline, the trial of heart, and exercise by the way to which Jehovah subjected the people; and a most instructive section it is in this point of view. Every step in really obeying God puts the man morally to the test, and is more or less attended with severe trial. I know God will do it; I do not require to put Him to the proof. Still it is too solemn to admit of what is so buoyant, which has its own proper exercise. Conceive the state of mind which could say that "in Deuteronomy Moses repeatedly lays the blame of his expulsion on the people (Deuteronomy 1:37; Deuteronomy 3:26; Deuteronomy 4:21); but according toNumbers 20:12; Numbers 20:12 God punished him thus for not believing Him, while inNumbers 27:14; Numbers 27:14 his punishment was occasioned by the legislator's own disobedience"! Deuteronomy 1:6. 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? British Library, Harleian MS. 5596. "But Sihon," it is said, "king of Heshbon, would not let us pass by him: for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day. This then is the leading truth of Deuteronomy. Thus Jehovah from the very first was teaching them that they were not called out on an errand of indiscriminate conquest. It is making God less than a man; for if he could not be content without it, how much less the living God? Obedience is the claim. II. viii. 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. O Lord in Heaven, please in my job and at my workplace I ask for promotion and payment increase in Jesus' name. Appendix ii. The conscience feels that a certain act of confessing the sin is necessary, but perhaps there is hardly anything which more hardens the heart than the habit of confessing sin without feeling it. Rekam, and that Double. 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. It was "the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee." 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 J. "The importance of history has two focal points: (a) there is the covenant tradition of promise, from Abraham to Moses; (b) there is the experience of God in history working out in deed the content of the promise. And I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them. 24; 2 Cor. It is not at all a people or a class kept at a distance by intervening priests. Rekam, and that Double. Jeremiah, or any other prophet. There is the peril of religion becoming a species of enjoyment. What gentle censures, if any, what palpable favouritism towards his own party, where they most deserve reproof and rebuke or perhaps still more stringent measures! In short, whatever it be to which God summons us is precisely what the devil endeavours to obscure, and so to hinder our testimony. To what were they always inclined? (Introd. In Deuteronomy 9:1-29 another topic is prominent. What God lays on one He does not necessarily enjoin on another. Indeed he could not have written either in its present form, because that in Exodus is Jehovistic, and older than the record in Deuteronomy. 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.) Moses says, "We turned," not "Ye," merely. There are many, many Christians who have been long enough, and far too long, in the mount, and it would be welt for themselves if they could hear this voice summoning them to go forward. Owing 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. "but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of Jehovah doth man live." And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace." We recognize that a part of the wilderness experience was legitimate. These seven canons were next expanded by R. Ishmael (in the first century) into thirteen, by the analysis of one of them (the 5th) into six, and the addition of this sound exegetical rule, that where two, Ver. It is the king's mountain." For he had himself told them to go up into the land; but they begged spies to search it first. 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).
