"Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name." Far from being done with, we know from the word of God that He will maintain the sabbatical rest strictly, and enforce it in the days of the kingdom; so that, if a man does not bow to His authority, he will assuredly come under divine judgment: so much does Jehovah make of it in itself, and so much will He make of it for the obedience of others in the day that is coming.

And the beautiful thing is that God is with you, even in the wilderness experiences. "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.' 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.

In Deuteronomy 12:1-32 we have statutes and judgments. Hence the language differs most sensibly even from the joyous scene of blessing of which the feast of weeks was so redolent. 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. There is a warfare that goes on in our lives; the flesh warring against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh and these two are contrary. Undoubtedly the gatherings in of the corn and the wine (that is, the harvest and the vintage) are the well known types of God's final dealings: the harvest when He separates the wheat from the chaff, or at any rate from that which is not wheat; and the vintage when He executes unsparing judgment upon the vine of the earth upon all religion that is vain and denies heaven. The greater the blessing of God, the more thoroughly you are put on the ground that God has given you, the more He insists on thorough and constant obedience.

And in it, I must recognize that this old body of flesh, with its desires, has been crucified that it should no longer rule over me but that I now can be ruled by the spirit of God.Now Paul describes his wilderness experience in the seventh chapter of Romans as he talks about seeing the law of God, consenting that the law of God was good and determining to fulfill the law of God.

They were "a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but Jehovah destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead." Deuteronomy 31:1 "And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel." "Moses went and spake": Though some interpreters view this verse as the conclusion to the foregoing address in (chapters 29-30), it is better to see these words as an introduction to the words of Moses which follow, based upon the general pattern of Deuteronomy. viii. By whom?

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." 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." I dare say we have almost all done so, without referring to any particular mode; for alas! And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart. 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). See Romans 8:15. ^A Matt. How good are the ways and the words of God! ^D John VII. Such is the principle: no sparing friends, relatives, "wife of thy bosom," could be tolerated.

I must have to come to the place where I despair of freeing myself or despair of my own righteousness or despair of ever being righteous in the eyes of God by my own works and my own efforts. In short, whatever it be to which God summons us is precisely what the devil endeavours to obscure, and so to hinder our testimony. We see from this that it is mere ignorance to suppose that there is not a divine system in the book; and this is more remarkable, I think, in Deuteronomy, if possible, than in the preceding books. This is a solemn lesson that there may be a thorough spirit of disobedience at the very time that people talk of doing whatever God is pleased to command. Praying through Deuteronomy 6:6. He sets Himself against the high places; He will not have them. Now the life of the spirit begins with the death of the old nature, the old man, which is the position that we must take by faith.
