Book of Deuteronomy

And that's what religion does.

Just imagine what's waiting for them in Leviticus and Deuteronomy when he visits this world in judgment.

Just imagine if what befell us is going to also befell the rest of the world.

If we went through this, they got to go through it.

And I'm not trying to scare you because there are some blessings in this.

There's blessings in obedience, but there's also protection and security and safety by doing these law sets commandments so we don't end up how our ancestors ended up.

Deuteronomy 28, 45 through 53.

Moreover, all these curses shall come upon you and shall pursue you and overtake you till you be destroyed.

I think we've had something like this before, but I, again, appreciate the conscientiousness of the question here.

When Yahweh apportioned created plural Elohim to govern the nations of the world in Deuteronomy 32, did he expect them to judge righteously? and not demand worship from humans? And what would be included in judging righteously anyway? That's a well thought through question.

Again, not that we haven't talked about it, but I think it always deserves attention when someone asks it, because I'm sure someone out there is wondering always this kind of idea.

Here is my opinion.

So let me give you mine.

And again, I welcome yours, Mike.

While Deuteronomy 32 does not spell out the job description of governing Elohim, think of a king using governors across a vast empire.

You would give them locales to govern over and expect them to govern well and to also cause loyalty back to the emperor, right? But Psalm 82 appears to condemn these spirit rulers for what they should have done and did not.

So the law is the first five books.

So that's everything starting with, you know, Genesis on down to Deuteronomy.

And so, I mean, so we're looking at, you know, all the events with Adam and Eve and with Moses and all of these events, right? So these are the former things of old.

And, you know, people think, I saw that in this atheist forum, somebody like, oh, you know, the Bible talks about how there's all these gods and this and that and the other thing.

Moses got angry and threw the stones down.

And I think about 3,000 people died that day from partaking of the golden calf worship.

Now let's go to Deuteronomy, the 6th chapter, 14.

After Yahweh brings them into Canaan's land, he reminds them.

Leviticus 11, start at 1.

And then I want Deuteronomy 14 and 3.

We got to read this a lot of information.

Leviticus 11.1.

Because that's what Yahweh does.

Yahweh says Ezekiel, is it 37? Ezekiel 27, yes, let's get it, 21.

And then I want Deuteronomy.

And then I want Joel 33 and one.

Let's see.

Let's get Deuteronomy 34 and 1.

And then after you read the first verse, if you'll drop down to five, just a witness right quick.

Deuteronomy 34.1. And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo to the top of Pisgah that is over against Jericho.

And Yahweh Elohim showed him all the land of Gilead unto Dan.

Five.

You've been taken to a complete form of true worship the Father in spirit and in truth and not in physical, natural things that are imaginations.

And so this is why this teaching is, there's a necessity that Yahweh set up witnesses to back up the doctrine that he is going to teach.

So they ended up following him.

But the scriptures were, and still are, Moses, Exodus, Genesis, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, that's the law.

And then the prophets is from Joshua all the way down to Malachi.

Those are the scriptures, the law and the prophets.

Questions.

Question, did we all inherit sin from Adam and Eve? Answer, yes, all people inherited sin from Adam and Eve, specifically from Adam.

Sin is described in the Bible as transgression of the law of God, 1 John 3 and 4, and rebellion against God, Deuteronomy 9, 7, Joshua 1, 18.

Genesis 3 describes Adam and Eve's rebellion against God and his command.

And also, Hear, O Israel, Yahweh our Elohim is Yahweh in unity.

And that's Deuteronomy 6 and 4.

Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, there is one body and one Spirit, even as ye are called in the one hope of your calling.

one Elohim, one faith, one immersion, one is Yahweh, Father of all, and above all, and through all, and in you all.

And this is the blessing and the curses in the scripture, right? And the two mountains and all the rest.

Really, when we got into Deuteronomy, the song of Moses in Deuteronomy, what was it? It was about this warning, right? Of this very thing that they had been warned, look, do better.

And they didn't do better, so watch out, right? And so we see here that people often, yeah, Deuteronomy 32 there, people often want to attribute the idea of God either being too busy to help, right, to their lives being, you know, like just being defeated, right? And you see this a lot amongst all generations, but certainly the younger folks, you know? You know, doom scrolling, bed rotting, you know? Just being dead, you know, all these things that they would talk about almost playfully.

Well, they're feeling defeated like God couldn't see them.

So on one end, God does see you.

When you do what's right and righteous, God is with you.

God makes this promise to us in Deuteronomy chapter 31, verse 8.

And the Lord, he is the one who goes before you.

He will be with you.
