(Part 1 covered through the book of Exodus and here in Part 2 we cover Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) In this episode we will look at some foundational truths that many people have backwards.  We will start will looking at Israel and what happened to them.  Everything that happened to them was written down for our instruction.The NT tells us that the OT scripture and events that happened to Israel was written for our instruction.  We briefly look at 1 Corinthians chapter 10, Hebrews CH 2-4, and Romans CH 11.  The bible says Israel had the same good news preached to them.  They failed to find favor with God or enter into God's rest because of disobedience.  They still had a hard heart and continued in sin.  The bible [NT] warns Christians today to not fall or get broken off by falling the same example of disobedience.  Even though they were a people who were God's first born son, redeemed by the blood of the lamb, experienced the salvation of the LORD being delivered out of Egypt, a people who believed and feared the LORD.  Then why did God destroy most of them?  Why did He forsake them?  What happened?  The couldn't stop stumbling and they couldn't escape the snare of sin.  They didn't have a new heart.  This is discussed very clearly in Part 2 in Deuteronomy.We also address the follow questions that many people get wrong because they don't know the full scripture.  The devil seeks to get people to believe in part of the scripture but not all of it.  Some of the questions we will answer are as follows:1)  Does God reject or forsake His chosen people whom He has redeemed and brought salvation?  Many people will say this cannot happen.  The bible says it does happen and that it is conditional depending on those of His chosen people whom He will not forsake and those whom He will forsake.  This is specifically discussed in Deuteronomy chapter 31 with many examples discussed before in earlier books.2)  What is God's proper name, His memorial name for all generations?  It is used just under 7,000 times in the OT.  God points this out in Exodus.  His proper name is YHWH.  The original Hebrew did not use vowels, so there is debate over what vowels are used as well as pronunciation.  Many bibles record God's proper name as all capital LORD in the OT print.3)  Who threw down their staff in the presence of Pharaoh and it turned into a snake?  If you answered Moses, then you would be incorrect.  It was Aaron.4)  Who struck the Nile with their staff and turned it to blood?  Stretched out their staff and caused the frogs to come upon the land, and later the plague of the gnats?  If you answered Moses, then you would be incorrect.  It was Aaron.5)  Does God say He has made man a "God"?  If you answered "No", then you would be incorrect.  He specifically states He has made Moses a God to Pharaoh and also made Moses a God to Aaron.  In the episode on the Gospel of Acts, we discuss Jesus' response to the Jewish leaders in John chapter 10 where God calls the people "Gods" to whom the word of God came.6)  Who does God first speak to and communicate the 10 commandments?  If you answered Moses, you would be incorrect.  The answer is the entire nation of Israel.7)  Does God's loving kindness endure forever and is it unconditional?  The first part is True, the second part is False.  God tells us in Exodus 20:6 and in Deuteronomy that His loving kindness endures forever to those who love Him and keep His commandments.  This is consistent with 1 John 2:3-4  By this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep His commandments.  The one who says he has come to know Him and does not keep His commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him ....8)  Does God blot people out of His book?  If y(continued)
