Deuteronomy 29-30
Skip Heitzig
Deuteronomy 29 (NKJV™) | |
1 | These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which He made with them in Horeb. |
2 | Now Moses called all Israel and said to them: "You have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land-- |
3 | "the great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders. |
4 | "Yet the LORD has not given you a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day. |
5 | "And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet. |
6 | "You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or similar drink, that you may know that I am the LORD your God. |
7 | "And when you came to this place, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we conquered them. |
8 | "We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh. |
9 | "Therefore keep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do. |
10 | "All of you stand today before the LORD your God: your leaders and your tribes and your elders and your officers, all the men of Israel, |
11 | "your little ones and your wives--also the stranger who is in your camp, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water-- |
12 | "that you may enter into covenant with the LORD your God, and into His oath, which the LORD your God makes with you today, |
13 | "that He may establish you today as a people for Himself, and that He may be God to you, just as He has spoken to you, and just as He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. |
14 | "I make this covenant and this oath, not with you alone, |
15 | "but with him who stands here with us today before the LORD our God, as well as with him who is not here with us today |
16 | (for you know that we dwelt in the land of Egypt and that we came through the nations which you passed by, |
17 | and you saw their abominations and their idols which were among them--wood and stone and silver and gold); |
18 | "so that there may not be among you man or woman or family or tribe, whose heart turns away today from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations, and that there may not be among you a root bearing bitterness or wormwood; |
19 | "and so it may not happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he blesses himself in his heart, saying, 'I shall have peace, even though I follow the dictates of my heart'--as though the drunkard could be included with the sober. |
20 | "The LORD would not spare him; for then the anger of the LORD and His jealousy would burn against that man, and every curse that is written in this book would settle on him, and the LORD would blot out his name from under heaven. |
21 | "And the LORD would separate him from all the tribes of Israel for adversity, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this Book of the Law, |
22 | "so that the coming generation of your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, would say, when they see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which the LORD has laid on it: |
23 | 'The whole land is brimstone, salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in His anger and His wrath.' |
24 | "All nations would say, 'Why has the LORD done so to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?' |
25 | "Then people would say: 'Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt; |
26 | 'for they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they did not know and that He had not given to them. |
27 | 'Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against this land, to bring on it every curse that is written in this book. |
28 | 'And the LORD uprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.' |
29 | "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. |
Deuteronomy 30 (NKJV™) | |
1 | "Now it shall come to pass, when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the LORD your God drives you, |
2 | "and you return to the LORD your God and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul, |
3 | "that the LORD your God will bring you back from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations where the LORD your God has scattered you. |
4 | "If any of you are driven out to the farthest parts under heaven, from there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there He will bring you. |
5 | "Then the LORD your God will bring you to the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it. He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers. |
6 | "And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. |
7 | "Also the LORD your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you. |
8 | "And you will again obey the voice of the LORD and do all His commandments which I command you today. |
9 | "The LORD your God will make you abound in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your land for good. For the LORD will again rejoice over you for good as He rejoiced over your fathers, |
10 | "if you obey the voice of the LORD your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. |
11 | "For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. |
12 | "It is not in heaven, that you should say, 'Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?' |
13 | "Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, 'Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?' |
14 | "But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. |
15 | "See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, |
16 | "in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. |
17 | "But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, |
18 | "I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. |
19 | "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; |
20 | "that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them." |

A relationship with God requires firsthand participation. He calls us to have faith based on the fact that He is committed to us and has shown us His grace in the past. As we study Deuteronomy 29-30, we learn that when we forget what God has done for us, we risk marginalizing our sin and turning toward corruption instead of grace.
Before entering the Promised Land, Moses reminded Israel of their history and the covenant they made with the Lord. The book of Deuteronomy details that covenant, looking at God's promises of cursing and blessing. In this study, Skip Heitzig unpacks those promises and explores the truths found in this still-relevant book of law.

Deuteronomy 1 Deuteronomy 1 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary As we kick off our series in Deuteronomy, we see how this book is not just a repetition of previous accounts, but a safeguard against God's truths being forgotten or neglected over time. In this first chapter, Moses recapped the four-step journey that led the Israelites to wander in the wilderness for nearly forty years. |

Info Message Summary In Deuteronomy 2-3, Moses continued to recount the Israelites' journey through the wilderness to the next generation so they would remember the Lord's promises and faithfulness.

Deuteronomy 4:1-18 Deuteronomy 4:1-18 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary The book of Deuteronomy is basically a series of farewell speeches given by Moses to the next generation of Israelites.

Deuteronomy 4:15-5:21 Deuteronomy 4:15-5:21 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Every person is hardwired to be a worshiper, but we often worship the wrong things or worship God in the wrong way. In Deuteronomy 4-5, Moses transitioned from reviewing the Israelites' past to offering regulations for their present, touching on true worship and God's character before reviewing the Ten Commandments. |

Deuteronomy 5:21-33 Deuteronomy 5:21-33 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary As we finish Deuteronomy 5, we discover that the trouble isn't with God's law; the trouble is that we are fallen people who cannot keep the law, no matter how righteous we think we are. In this special Communion message, we learn how to use the law as a compass to point to Jesus Christ, who was made "to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Corinthians 5:21). |

Deuteronomy 6:1-7:3 Deuteronomy 6:1-7:3 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary We as believers need to be reminded of our deliverance from bondage; we've had an Exodus, but we frequently need a Deuteronomy, something that reminds us of where we've come from. That was the mantra of Moses throughout Deuteronomy 6, a chapter whose theme is to listen in order that you might obey. |

Deuteronomy 9-10 Deuteronomy 9-10 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary The Christian life—one that is fully surrendered to God—ought to be the most exciting life one can live. In Deuteronomy 9-10, Moses reminded the Israelites of God's mercy and grace toward them, and we see how God loves to take faithless people, forgive them, bless them, and use them for His glory in a grand adventure. |

Info Message Summary The laws of God are laws for life; they aren't given to us to restrict us, but to benefit us and show us God's love. Making our way through Deuteronomy 11, we learn that our relationship with the Lord supersedes regulations and rituals, and we see how God, through Moses, lovingly reminded the Israelites of just how much He cared for them and wanted the best for them. |

Deuteronomy 12 Deuteronomy 12 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Deuteronomy 12 has three themes: regathering, redemption, and rejoicing. In this message, we uncover how these themes apply to believers today: we still gather to fellowship with one another and to take the Lord's Supper in remembrance of Christ's sacrifice for us. |

Deuteronomy 13-14 Deuteronomy 13-14 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary In God's value system, there's something worse than physical death—spiritual death. This is why, throughout Scripture, the Lord frequently hangs out signs to warn us about false prophets who try to steer us away from His truth. In these chapters, we look at God's warning sign to the Israelites, as well as His principles for them concerning dietary regulations and tithing. |

Info Message Summary Much of what Jesus quoted from the Old Testament came from the book of Deuteronomy; it's an important book of the Law, and we can clearly see connections between the old and new covenant in these chapters before us. As we look at more regulations for the Israelites' personal lives and public feasts, we see that God's pardon, participation, and provision—as celebrated in the feasts of Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles—are available to us today through Christ. |

Deuteronomy 17-18 Deuteronomy 17-18 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Throughout the Old Testament, the Lord sent many prophets to the nation of Israel, but these prophets only served to train the people's ears for the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Deuteronomy 17-18 culminates in Moses' prediction of this ultimate Prophet's coming as we also learn about true sacrifice, capital punishment, and the requirements for Israel's kings. |

Deuteronomy 19 Deuteronomy 19 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Deuteronomy 19 recounts the institution of the Levitical cities of refuge, created to ensure that mankind's bent toward sin was kept in check. This chapter acts as a perfect segue into the celebration of Communion and the new covenant: Jesus is the believer's ultimate city of refuge, an avenger of blood turned kinsman-redeemer who has made us sons and daughters of God. |

Info Message Summary Can you be both a believer and a pacifist? In His Law, God anticipated that the Israelites would need to form an army to defend themselves against their enemies. In Deuteronomy 20-21, we learn that wars, like every other part of life, should be brought under the spiritual control of the Lord, and we also study other laws about crime, marriage, and children. |
