Summary

In Deuteronomy 32, we read the "Song of Moses”, which emphasizes the importance of God's teachings and recounts Israel's history, including their disobedience and the consequences they faced. The chapter ends by highlighting the significance of following God's Law for a blessed life.

In Deuteronomy 33, Moses blesses the twelve tribes of Israel before his death. Simeon is notably omitted from these blessings, possibly due to the tribe's previous actions and reputation. Moses, aware of his impending death, uses this moment to encourage and bless the people he has led for forty years.

Finally, in Deuteronomy 34, God allows Moses a view of the Promised Land from Mount Nebo before his passing. This symbolizes the culmination of his life's journey and the passing of leadership to Joshua, signifying the continuation of God's plan for Israel. These chapters explore themes of God's faithfulness, the consequences of disobedience, the importance of God's Word, and the transition of leadership.

You can find this episode and more than 3000 others at Lifespringmedia.com. and I'll have contact information at the end of today's show in case you'd like to say something to me, before we read, let's pray. Our Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your word. It is life and we are so happy that you've given us this time to read together. Teach us by your Holy Spirit as we hear your words for us. We pray this in Jesus name. Amen. All right, are you ready? Let's get started.

Steve Webb 0:52Deuteronomy chapter 32. Heaven, pay attention and I will speak Earth. Listen to the words of my mouth. My teaching will fall like raindrops, my speech will settle like do like gentle rains on grass, like spring showers on all that is green, because I proclaimed the Lord's name, give praise to our God, the rock, his acts are perfection. No doubt about it. All His ways are right. He's the faithful God, never deceiving. Altogether righteous and true is he? But children who weren't his own sinned against Him with their defects? They are a twisted and perverse generation. Is this how you thank the Lord you stupid, senseless people? Is it he your father, your Creator? Didn't he make you and establish you? Remember the days long past? Consider the years long gone? Ask your father and he will tell you about it. Ask your elders they will give you the details. When God most high divided up the nations when he divided up humankind he decided that people's boundaries based on the number of the gods. Surely the Lord’s property was his people. Jacob was his part of the inheritance. God found Israel in a wild land in a howling desert wasteland. He protected them cared for them, watched over them with his very own eye. Like an eagle protecting its nest hovering over its young Gods spread out his wings to a cold of Israel, carried him on his back. The Lord alone let Israel no foreign god assisted. God made Israel glide over the highlands. He fed him with food from the field nursed him with honey from a boulder with oil from a hard rock curds from the herd milk from the flock along with the best of lambs rams from Batian he goats to along with the finest wheat and for drink wine from the juiciest grapes. Jacob ate until he was stuffed Jeshua and got fat then rebellious. It was you who got fat, thick, stubborn Jeshua and gave up on the God who made him thought the rock of his salvation was worthless. They made God jealous with strange gods aggravated him with detestable things. They sacrificed to demons not to God to deities, of which they had no knowledge New Gods only recently on the scene, ones about which your ancestors had never heard you deserted the rock that sired you, you forgot the God who gave birth to you. The Lord saw this and rejected out of aggravation his sons and his daughters. He said I will hide my face from them. I will see what becomes of them because they are a confused generation. Their children lacking loyalty. They provoked me with no gods aggravated me with their pieces of junk. So I am going to provoke them with no people aggravate them with a nation of fools. A fire burns in me it will blaze to the depths of the grave. It will destroy the land and its crops. It will black in the base of the mountains. I'll throw on them disaster after disaster. I'll destroy them with my arrows, devastating hunger, consuming plague, bitter sickness. I'll send animal things after them venom from dust crawlers to outside in the streets, the sword will be removed. Inside in the safest room, there will be terror for young men and women, nursing baby and senior citizen. I thought about it. I could have struck them down erase them from human memory. But their enemies rage concern me. Their opponents might misunderstand. They may say our strong hands not the Lord’s did all this because they are not a thoughtful nation. They lack any insight. If they had any wisdom, they would understand this. They would discern what will become of them. How could one person chase off 1000 in battle? How could two people make 10,000 flee for their lives? Only because they're rock sold them off only because the Lord handed them over. But no, their rocks can't compare to our rock. Our enemies are completely stupid. Their roots run straight from Saddam from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are pure poison. They're great clusters, nothing but bitter. Their wine is snake poison. Venom from a cruel Cobra. Don't I have this stored up sealed in my vaults? Revenge is my domain. So is punishment in kind at the exact moment their steps lips up, because the day of their destruction is just around the corner. Their final destiny is speeding on its way. But the Lord will acquit his people will have compassion on those who serve him once he sees that their strength is all gone, that both prisoners and free people are wiped out. The Lord will ask where are their gods, the rocks they trusted in who ate up the fat of their sacrifices, who drank their sacred wine, they should stand up and help you. They should protect you now. Now look here, I myself, I am the one. There are no other gods before me. I am the one who deals death and gives life. I am the one who wounded but now I will heal. There's no escaping my hand. But now I'm lifting my hand to heaven. I swear by my own eternity. When I sharpen my Blazing Sword, and my hand grabs ahold of justice, I'll pay my enemies back. I will punish in kind everyone who hates me, I will make my arrows drink much blood while my sword devours flesh, the blood of the dead and captured flowing from the heads of enemy generals. heavens rejoice with God, all you God's bow down to the Lord, because He will avenge his children's blood. He will pay back his enemies. He will punish unkind those who hate Him, He will cleanse his people's land. So Moses came and recited all the words of this poem and everyone's hearing Joshua none son joined him. When Moses finished speaking all these words to Israel, he told them, set your mind on all these words, I'm testifying against you right now, because you must command your children to perform carefully all the words of this instruction. This is no trivial matter for you. This is your very life. It is by this means alone, that you will prolong your life in the fertile land you're crossing the Jordan River to possess. The Lord spoke to Moses that very same day, hike up the Abra mountains to mount Niebo, which is in the land of Moab opposite Jericho. Take a good look at the land of Canaan, which I'm giving to the Israelites as their property. You will die on the mountain you have hiked up and you will be gathered to your people just like your brother Aaron, who died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people because the two of you were unfaithful toward me in front of the Israelites at the waters of Marybeth k dash in the Zinn wilderness because you didn't treat me with proper respect before the Israelites. You can look at the land from the other side of the river, but you won't enter there.

Steve Webb 8:10Deuteronomy chapter 33. This is the blessing that Moses the man of God gave the Israelites before he died. He said, The Lord came from Sinai from SEER he shone like the dawn on us from paper and mountain he beamed down 1000s of holy ones were with him. His warriors were next to him ready? Yes, those who love the nation's all His holy ones. Were at your command. They followed your footsteps. They got moving when you said so. Moses gave the instruction to us.
