Moses Prophecy Study
Moses the Prophet in the Bible Explanation

It's always great to have you here at Daily Bread! In our last study time, Moses began addressing the children of Israel by reminding them of the events of the last 40 years in the wilderness.

As Moses continues speaking to his beloved people, knowing they are stubborn and have demonstrated numerous times a tendency to abandon God when they grow impatient about things.

Moses encourages them to be obedient to the Lord, because the thing that makes them special and sets them apart from all other nations is that the only real God has chosen them to be His people.

Moses Prophecy Foretold
Moses the Prophet in the Bible Message

Moses reminds the Hebrews not to forget the things they've seen, especially the day in Horeb (Mt. Sinai) when the Lord spoke to them out of the fire. He points out that they saw no form, but only heard His voice.

Then he warns them never to make themselves a graven image of any kind. (Of course, Moses said this remembering that shortly after they heard the voice of the Lord that memorable day, they turned around and made themselves a golden calf to worship.)

Moses also gives the children of Israel this prophecy ... That in the future, their descendants will become corrupt and do evil in the sight of the Lord. For this, God will destroy them, leaving only a few, scattered among the nations. This of course came to pass when the king of Babylon destroyed Jerusalem and carried away captive the remnant of the children of Israel ...

But ... Moses then reminds them of God's great mercy, saying, If from that time, you turn back to the Lord with all your heart, He will forgive you.

After that, Moses reminds the people never to forget that they are very special in God's heart, and of all the things the Lord had done for them, which He had done for no other people.

Then Moses once again shares the wisdom that if they be obedient to God by following His statutes and commandments, things will go well and they will continue to live in the Land of Promise forever.
