Deuteronomy 32:36-34:12
Skip Heitzig
Deuteronomy 32 (NKJV™) | |
36 | "For the LORD will judge His people And have compassion on His servants, When He sees that their power is gone, And there is no one remaining, bond or free. |
37 | He will say: 'Where are their gods, The rock in which they sought refuge? |
38 | Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, And drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise and help you, And be your refuge. |
39 | 'Now see that I, even I, am He, And there is no God besides Me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; Nor is there any who can deliver from My hand. |
40 | For I raise My hand to heaven, And say, "As I live forever, |
41 | If I whet My glittering sword, And My hand takes hold on judgment, I will render vengeance to My enemies, And repay those who hate Me. |
42 | I will make My arrows drunk with blood, And My sword shall devour flesh, With the blood of the slain and the captives, From the heads of the leaders of the enemy."' |
43 | "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people; For He will avenge the blood of His servants, And render vengeance to His adversaries; He will provide atonement for His land and His people." |
44 | So Moses came with Joshua the son of Nun and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people. |
45 | Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel, |
46 | and He said to them: "Set your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your children to be careful to observe--all the words of this law. |
47 | "For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess." |
48 | Then the LORD spoke to Moses that very same day, saying: |
49 | "Go up this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, across from Jericho; view the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel as a possession; |
50 | "and die on the mountain which you ascend, and be gathered to your people, just as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people; |
51 | "because you trespassed against Me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin, because you did not hallow Me in the midst of the children of Israel. |
52 | "Yet you shall see the land before you, though you shall not go there, into the land which I am giving to the children of Israel." |
Deuteronomy 33 (NKJV™) | |
1 | Now this is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. |
2 | And he said: "The LORD came from Sinai, And dawned on them from Seir; He shone forth from Mount Paran, And He came with ten thousands of saints; From His right hand Came a fiery law for them. |
3 | Yes, He loves the people; All His saints are in Your hand; They sit down at Your feet; Everyone receives Your words. |
4 | Moses commanded a law for us, A heritage of the congregation of Jacob. |
5 | And He was King in Jeshurun, When the leaders of the people were gathered, All the tribes of Israel together. |
6 | "Let Reuben live, and not die, Nor let his men be few." |
7 | And this he said of Judah: "Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, And bring him to his people; Let his hands be sufficient for him, And may You be a help against his enemies." |
8 | And of Levi he said: "Let Your Thummim and Your Urim be with Your holy one, Whom You tested at Massah, And with whom You contended at the waters of Meribah, |
9 | Who says of his father and mother, 'I have not seen them'; Nor did he acknowledge his brothers, Or know his own children; For they have observed Your word And kept Your covenant. |
10 | They shall teach Jacob Your judgments, And Israel Your law. They shall put incense before You, And a whole burnt sacrifice on Your altar. |
11 | Bless his substance, LORD, And accept the work of his hands; Strike the loins of those who rise against him, And of those who hate him, that they rise not again." |
12 | Of Benjamin he said: "The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by Him, Who shelters him all the day long; And he shall dwell between His shoulders." |
13 | And of Joseph he said: "Blessed of the LORD is his land, With the precious things of heaven, with the dew, And the deep lying beneath, |
14 | With the precious fruits of the sun, With the precious produce of the months, |
15 | With the best things of the ancient mountains, With the precious things of the everlasting hills, |
16 | With the precious things of the earth and its fullness, And the favor of Him who dwelt in the bush. Let the blessing come 'on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.' |
17 | His glory is like a firstborn bull, And his horns like the horns of the wild ox; Together with them He shall push the peoples To the ends of the earth; They are the ten thousands of Ephraim, And they are the thousands of Manasseh." |
18 | And of Zebulun he said: "Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, And Issachar in your tents! |
19 | They shall call the peoples to the mountain; There they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness; For they shall partake of the abundance of the seas And of treasures hidden in the sand." |
20 | And of Gad he said: "Blessed is he who enlarges Gad; He dwells as a lion, And tears the arm and the crown of his head. |
21 | He provided the first part for himself, Because a lawgiver's portion was reserved there. He came with the heads of the people; He administered the justice of the LORD, And His judgments with Israel." |
22 | And of Dan he said: "Dan is a lion's whelp; He shall leap from Bashan." |
23 | And of Naphtali he said: "O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, And full of the blessing of the LORD, Possess the west and the south." |
24 | And of Asher he said: "Asher is most blessed of sons; Let him be favored by his brothers, And let him dip his foot in oil. |
25 | Your sandals shall be iron and bronze; As your days, so shall your strength be. |
26 | "There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, Who rides the heavens to help you, And in His excellency on the clouds. |
27 | The eternal God is your refuge, And underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you, And will say, 'Destroy!' |
28 | Then Israel shall dwell in safety, The fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine; His heavens shall also drop dew. |
29 | Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD, The shield of your help And the sword of your majesty! Your enemies shall submit to you, And you shall tread down their high places." |
Deuteronomy 34 (NKJV™) | |
1 | Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is across from Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land of Gilead as far as Dan, |
2 | all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea, |
3 | the South, and the plain of the Valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar. |
4 | Then the LORD said to him, "This is the land of which I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your descendants.' I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there." |
5 | So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. |
6 | And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but no one knows his grave to this day. |
7 | Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished. |
8 | And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days. So the days of weeping and mourning for Moses ended. |
9 | Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him; so the children of Israel heeded him, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses. |
10 | But since then there has not arisen in Israel a prophet like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, |
11 | in all the signs and wonders which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt, before Pharaoh, before all his servants, and in all his land, |
12 | and by all that mighty power and all the great terror which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel. |

As human beings, there is something perverse in our nature that we enjoy payback, but vengeance is a temptation that we must give up to God. In a song to the Israelites, Moses advised them to let the Lord deal with those who hurt them and to choose forgiveness over vengeance.
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 29-30 Deuteronomy 29-30 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary 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. |

Deuteronomy 22-23 Deuteronomy 22-23 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Throughout our lives, we tend to get preoccupied with our busy schedules, ignoring the needs of others.

In this study of Deuteronomy 22-23, Skip Heitzig points out the practical examples Moses gave to the Israelites about loving others. |

Deuteronomy 20-21 Deuteronomy 20-21 Skip Heitzig |
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. |

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 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 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. |

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. |

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 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. |

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). |

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. |

In this first chapter, Moses recapped the four-step journey that led the Israelites to wander in the wilderness for nearly forty years. |
