Some people skip over the book of Deuteronomy thinking it is just repetition of the law. What a mistake that is! One Bible scholar says it is the most important book in the Old Testament and the key to understanding the entire Bible. It is made up of the parting words of Moses to a new generation of Israelites in which he describes their covenant with God. It is a covenant between them and a loving God, and their obedience to its terms should be born out of a heart of love for Him.

The Words of Moses (Out of Zion Episode #190)

Scripture taken from the New King James Version®. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson. Used by permission. All rights reserved.

The book of Numbers comes to an end this week with a reminder of what the whole story is all about. God had promised to give the children of Israel a certain land instructed them how to live on that land, all so He could dwell with them there. Their holy and pure God wanted to live amid His people. He still desires this today, and we can learn important lessons from this story for our own life.

The Land In Which He Dwells (Out of Zion Episode #189)

Scripture taken from the New King James Version®. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson. Used by permission. All rights reserved.

This week we read two significant stories—both illustrating qualifications for godly leadership. God promised Aaron’s grandson, Phinehas, an everlasting priesthood due to his zeal for God and commitment to righteousness—a necessary requirement for the high priest. And Joshua was chosen to succeed Moses because of the Holy Spirit that was in him. That was necessary because it would be through the Spirit that God would guide and direct the next generation to take possession of their promised land.

Qualifications for Leadership (Out of Zion Episode #188)

Scripture taken from the New King James Version®. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson. Used by permission. All rights reserved.

God uses an unusual character to confirm the calling on the children of Israel to be a people set apart from the world until the day they birth the reign of the Davidic Messiah on Earth. In the meantime, you and I are called to bless them. These foundational elements of the Abrahamic covenant are repeated in this week’s Torah portion, when God not only makes a donkey speak but a Moabite diviner proclaim words of truth.

A People Alone (Out of Zion Episode #187)

Scripture taken from the New King James Version®. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson. Used by permission. All rights reserved.

Being upbeat and positive is more than just a matter of personality—it is an expression of faith, of acceptance of the will of God, knowing there is always a bright side of His will if we wait for it. In contrast, negativity and complaining can be expressions of unbelief and even rebellion against God. We must be mindful of our words and realize that it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks. Our words expose what is in our hearts.

The Sin of Complaining (Out of Zion Episode #186)

Scripture taken from the New King James Version®. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson. Used by permission. All rights reserved.

The children of Israel had been made ready to enter their promised land and take possession of it. But something went terribly wrong. They went in to take a quick look around and returned in unbelief. They were afraid of the people in the land! God saw their unbelief as a rejection of Him. As a result they would not enter the promised land. Only Joshua and Caleb—men of faith—would realize God’s promises.

How God Sees Your Unbelief (Out of Zion Episode #185)

Scripture taken from the New King James Version®. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson. Used by permission. All rights reserved.

Moses had a special role and relationship with God. God spoke with him face to face and in plain language. He even gave Moses a glimpse of His image on Mount Sinai. It is no coincidence that Numbers 12:3 tells us Moses was the humblest man on the face of the earth. Perhaps this is the secret to Moses’ unique role.

What Made Moses Special (Out of Zion Episode #184)

Scripture taken from the New King James Version®. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson. Used by permission. All rights reserved.

We serve a God who loves to bless His people. The Bible is full of examples of this going all the way back to Abraham. God so wanted His people blessed that he instructed the High Priest Aaron how to pronounce blessing over them. Known as the Aaronic or Priestly Blessing, these verses are some of the most popular in the Hebrew Bible. They are also the oldest-known biblical text found in Israel, attesting to their popularity throughout time.

A God Who Loves to Bless (Out of Zion Episode #181)

Scripture taken from the New King James Version®. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson. Used by permission. All rights reserved.

The Feast of Weeks (Shavuot in Hebrew) occurs exactly 50 days after the first Sabbath after Passover and is largely associated with the wheat harvest. However, there is a strong rabbinic tradition that this holiday also commemorates the giving of the law which occurred 50 days after the exodus from Egypt. Why did the Lord choose this day to pour out the Holy Spirit in Acts 2? Listen in for the exciting answers.

Pentecost and the Feast of Weeks (Out of Zion Episode #182)

Scripture taken from the New King James Version®. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson. Used by permission. All rights reserved.

This week we begin the book of Numbers—named after two different numberings of the children of Israel contained in its pages. While God is numbering and preparing His children to take possession of their promised land, He also positions them for access to His presence. Each tribe is positioned an equal distance from the tabernacle—except for one tribe. The Levites are numbered and consecrated for service in the tabernacle.
