The books of the Old Testament provide all the information required to more fully understand the teaching of the New Testament. It was the only resource Paul had to provide us with the basics of Christian theology. Deuteronomy is oratorical in style, enabling us to imagine ourselves standing there listening to this remarkable leader speak to the people.Whilst reminding them of past calamities, Moses also spoke of many demonstrations of the amazing power of the God that had chosen them and loved them, and the way He had provided for them in many remarkable ways. He also recalled them assembling at the base of Sinai to hear the mighty voice of God Himself coming out of the fire and smoke at the top of the mountain, giving them the ten commandments that were to regulate their future lives under his oversight. What an awesome, though frightening experience that was. Particularly interesting in studying the book of Deuteronomy is recognising just how much of what God said through Moses is still relevant today. The message of Deuteronomy is here opened up to help you gain a better understanding of what God was saying through Moses, and thus enable you to live a life closer to God.These three last discourses of Moses contain essential foundational instructions for the Israelites to live a settled and prosperous life in a land that God was giving them; instructions that could well impact positively on our lives today.Speaking from the experience of having researched and written this book, Moses' speeches undoubtedly contain a treasure trove of deep spiritual knowledge from which I have greatly benefitted.
