Moses’ Second Speech (Deuteronomy 5 - 25) In Deuteronomy chapter 5, Moses restated the ten commandments. In the following chapters Moses explained the basic commandments and applied them to a vast array of situations. In Deuteronomy 31 you will find Moses commanding the clergy and civil leaders to repeat this instruction in God’s Law as delivered in the Book of Deuteronomy. This book is not just for the church. It is not just for the individual. It is, also, instruction by a man in government for men in government. One of Moses’commands to politicians is that they have their own personal copy of this book. They are to study it all the days of their lives. Today, we, and our leaders lack knowledge of this inspired life-giv ing instruction. In addition, our public schools have left us ignorant about: knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that pro ceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live. (4) Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. (5) Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee. (6) Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. (7) For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depth that spring out of valleys and hills. (8) A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil, and honey; (9) A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scareness, thou shalt not lack any [thing] in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass. (10) When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. (11) Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God,in not keeping his commandments, and his judgements, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: Just like America?

Test yourself, What are your rights as listed in the Bill of Rights? Have you read the Constitution? Are these same rights in your state constitution? Have you ever seen a copy of your state constitution? What did you learn about America’s Christian history in the public school? What are you learning from the T.V. by way of docu-dramas? Lessons Four to Fourteen are based upon Moses’ second lecture. They cover subjects such as, divorce and remarriage, rules of war, money, banking, inter est, crime and punishment, foreign policy, abortion, the right to keep and bear arms, treatment of aliens, perjury, bribery, juvenile delinquency, weights and measures, food, race relations, loans and collateral, welfare, theft, health and safety, and much more such as license, permit and corporate status. If you are a minister and if your church is incorporated, then you must stay tuned for this very important information. A later lesson reveals how the second commandment has been completely misunderstood. Acorrect understanding of this commandment is startling and powerful information. Moses’ Third And Fourth Speeches Deuteronomy 26 - 28) In Moses’third talk he explained how nations are blessed in every way if they do what’s right in God’s eyes. Likewise, he showed how God will curse us if we violate His rules or if we choose to live by a dif ferent standard. If America is not living by God’s Law, then we must be living by some other moral code. Moses concluded his series of lectures with, “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing, therefore choose life, that both you and your children might live.” Or in Christ’s words, It is written, (by Moses in the book of Deuteronomy) that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. Moses’third speech is prophetic. Lesson 15 shows how Moses’third speech is about America. Proof is in the fact that Moses prophesies are coming to pass in America right now! If you are interested in prophecy, stay tuned. Moses’ Final Words Moses was 120 years old when he told God’s people to pass over the Jordan and take possession of the Promised Land. Lesson 16 is entitled: Applying The Ten Commandments In Today’s World.
