Message Summary:

This message, given in preparation for the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), reflects on Ha’azinu — the Song of Moses in Deuteronomy 32 — and reveals the faithfulness of God in contrast to Israel’s repeated unfaithfulness. Moses’ final song is both a warning and a prophecy: Israel will turn from the Rock of their salvation, yet God will remain steadfast, preserving a remnant and ultimately redeeming His people.

The message connects this prophetic song to Hosea, where God’s love for the unfaithful bride becomes a picture of covenant mercy. The Lord promises, “I will betroth you to Me forever,” showing that His compassion is greater than Israel’s rebellion. The theme of sowing mercy and redemption continues through Sukkot, the season of dwelling and rejoicing in God’s faithfulness.

From Moses’ song to the New Covenant writings, we see that the Rock (Tzur) who formed Israel is the same Cornerstone rejected by men but chosen by God. Yeshua fulfills the cry of Ha’azinu—He is the Rock who was struck, the Bridegroom who redeems, and the One who completes what Moses could not: bringing His people fully into covenant relationship. Revelation 15 closes the circle as the redeemed sing “the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb,” declaring the Lord’s righteous acts revealed among all nations.

Key Points & Takeaways:

• Ha’azinu (“Give ear”) is Moses’ final testimony — a poetic witness of God’s faithfulness and Israel’s calling to remember their Rock.

• The Rock (Tzur) represents God’s steadfast nature — unchanging, righteous, merciful and just — even when His people turn away.

• Hosea reveals God’s covenant heart: though Israel is unfaithful, He pursues, redeems, and restores her.

• The Song of Moses points forward to Yeshua, the Living Word, who is both the Rock and the Redeemer.

• The striking of the Rock foreshadows the crucifixion — from the Rock flows living water for all who thirst.

• Sukkot reminds us of God’s presence and provision — He dwells with His people in mercy, not in wrath.

• Yeshua, the Cornerstone, transforms what was once judgment into the foundation of new creation.

• Revelation 15 unites Moses’ song and the Song of the Lamb — heaven’s acknowledgment that redemption is complete.

• Our calling is to become a people who reflect the Rock’s faithfulness — steadfast, merciful, and grounded in love.

Prayer Points:

• Thanksgiving: Thank God for His unchanging faithfulness, His mercy in covenant, and the living water that flows from Messiah, our Rock.

• Guidance: Ask the Lord to form in you a heart that mirrors His steadfastness — faithful in word, deed, and love.

• Intercession: Pray for those who have wandered or feel distant from God — that they may return and dwell again under His covering of mercy.

Living Out Love:

Live out your faith by showing love or offering a word of encouragement this week. Reflect God’s steadfast nature by extending patience and mercy to others, especially those who have stumbled or strayed. As God has made His dwelling among us, dwell faithfully with others in compassion, reconciliation, and hope — showing that the same Rock who sustained Israel still sustains us today.
