Deuteronomy

This book was written in 1445-1440 B.C. and the purpose of it was to teach that Love is expressed in God’s Word and in our response to Gods Word with the theme that obedience brings blessings and disobedience brings cursing. This book was really a dying man’s last words. Moses had led the Hebrews out of slavery and Egypt and then wandered around the desert for forty years, trying to get up the courage and the faith to cross the border. By the time they finally got to the border only three of the adults who had left Egypt were still alive. One of those three was Moses and he was about to die.  So Moses did what every leader would do and gathered all the people together and he told them the story all over again but he didn’t just tell them the story, he told them why the story mattered and what they should do about it. It was his last chance so he talked to them about the real stuff in life and God. This story is Moses final bow and it has much to tell. He was a respected and loved leader and he wanted all the newbies to hear his message so that Gods message could live on.
