In his gospel, John reveals how his understanding of and belief in Jesus changed over time. He learned that Jesus was far more than a man sent to sit on a throne in Israel. He was the Son of God and the Savior sent to redeem a lost and dying world. https://t.co/LXJ24RtXxz

There will be no promised land in Moses’ future, but there will be an eternity spent in fellowship with God. And the people of Israel would find themselves guided by another one of God’s chosen servants. Because He was not yet done with them. https://t.co/rDejz3UWv2

Like all the other tribes, these two would be blessed by God and given every opportunity to enjoy the benefits of living in the land He had given them. But they would prove unfaithful and unsuccessful in keeping their end of the bargain https://t.co/Z8Scy4fpVD

Their disobedience would result in the darkness of God’s judgment. But, ultimately, God would send the light of the world, His Son, to penetrate the darkness with the hope of salvation by grace along through faith alone. https://t.co/Yp7WliswIc

Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh were three of the smaller tribes in Israel, but they were not unimportant. Speaking by the inspiration of the Spirit, Moses reveals that God’s sovereign hand had been upon these three small tribes from the beginning. https://t.co/l1eaE51DNF

God had been working behind the scenes, fulfilling the words spoken by Jacob, and He would also ensure that the blessings of Moses came about. Both men had been speaking on behalf of God, issuing His divine decrees regarding His chosen people. https://t.co/ds1okgJ6E6

In Deuteronomy 33:1-5, the shepherd of Israel focuses their attention back on the one who had always been their true deliverer and King: God Himself. While Moses was going away, God would be going before them. https://t.co/smBlrJAzJl

In Deuteronomy 32:48-52, God once again reminds Moses of the painful consequences of his earlier indiscretion. Moses had treated God with disrespect and was now going to pay the ultimate penalty for his sin. https://t.co/5Ud42GyKDm

As Moses continues to prepare the people of God for their entrance into the land of Canaan, he reminds them that the words of the song God had given them are to be remembered and sung for generations https://t.co/Y8fRmdxn2c

Assyria and Babylon will claim the God-ordained judgment of Israel and Judah as something accomplished in their own strength. So, God warns them of the day when the tables will be turned, and they are on the receiving end of God’s wrath and judgment. https://t.co/9A33VAXlK9

God isn’t apologetic or hesitant when He lays out the consequences for Israel’s inevitable rebellion. They will get exactly what they deserve from the hands of a just and righteous God: His anger and judgment. https://t.co/5XO3yTbb57

Deuteronomy 32:10-18 is intended to remind them of God’s gracious deliverance of them from their captivity in Egypt. But it also paints the very painful picture of their ungrateful response to all He had done for them.               https://t.co/5DSjhN1YFF

This song would not bring to mind happy memories but it would remind them of their inevitable rebellion against God. They would sing this song, and every time they did they would recount their own unfaithfulness. https://t.co/vq4gPkMloZ

In Deuteronomy 31:23-29, we get a glimpse of Joshua’s less-than-ideal day of commissioning. It wasn’t pretty and it probably wasn’t very enjoyable for Israel’s new leader. But the truth isn’t always pleasant to hear. https://t.co/llYv3kDfxd

[Vessels of Clay @vesselsofclay]

God puts His message in the form of a song that He expects Moses and Joshua to teach to the people of Israel. It’s a dirge, a literal funeral song that tells of the future destruction of Israel for their inevitable unfaithfulness. https://t.co/bklMkptny1

[Vessels of Clay @vesselsofclay]

Israel was expected to do all that God had called them to do, and Moses was letting the priests and elders know that they had a part to play. He gave them with a copy of the law and commanded that one day every seventh year it be read to the entire nation. https://t.co/ex8SBRtq7T
