Bible Study- De.8:11-20 “This Day”

GuidetohisWord

“This day” as we have seen is not simply a day of 24 hours. Instead it is command number so when Moses puts emphasis in repeating ‘which I command this day’ we need remember it is set in thousand generations which is how God reckons it. On one level it is demonstrative of the grace of God and at the other level it is faith so fellowship of God with man begins’ now’.

Unity of the Spirit consequently sets two worlds of the flesh and of the Spirit respectively. “For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation (2 Co.6:2)”

Moses serves up multitudinous events of their forty years and promises blessings of God who promises,”My presence shall go with thee, and I will…

Bible Study-De.8:3-11 “The Living Word”

GuidetohisWord

 “And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou 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 proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.(vv.2-3)”

In the natural world life is compared to water but in the world of the Spirit we have our Savior Lord whose own circumstance must define ours.

What is life? We have in the epistle of St James the locus classicus on the subject which for a Christian has also a form. “For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away(Jas.4:14)”.

Christ Jesus is our life. While he was on the earth he declared,’I am the life.”Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the…

Bible Study-De.8 :1-5 “Forty years in the wilderness”

GuidetohisWord

All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers.

God appointed forty years forIsrael for a specific purpose. As Moses tells them,’that ye may live’.

For those who are blessed Moses also adds that their number shall multiply. In an earlier post we read that it is for thousand generations. It needs a closer look. “Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;/ And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face(7:9-10).”

God will avenge whoever hates his commandments ‘to his face,’ signifying His retribution…

Bible Study-De.7:2-6 “Holy People”

GuidetohisWord

“But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire./ For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth”.

Mercy as with Love are two characteristics that denote the holiness of God. He did not choose Israel as holy people not because they were more in number. He did not prefer them because ‘for ye were the fewest of all people’ as Moses reminds them in v.7. He swore an oath which he shall never deny. “But because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of…

Bible Study-De.7:14-15 “Blessed Above All People”

GuidetohisWord

God as the Maker and Builder of the heaven and earth shows no partiality. But how blessing works with each differs. Jesus came from his Father but he was rejected by his own. So we have been given a reason why.”I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you(John 8:37)”. The Word was with God from the beginning. The Word was God. The logos principle (John 1:1) sheds glory so Prophet Isaiah predicted six centuries earlier how this shall enfold mankind. “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee(Is.60:1)”. This is what was shed abroad even before the worlds began but on the advent of Jesus we read that the light sprung up. “The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the…

Bible Study- De.7:12-29 Mercy, Love and Abundance

GuidetohisWord

Glory of God is natural manifestation of God’s Power and Wisdom which embodies as visible so laws of nature operate in the visible and at unseen level. ‘The Word was with God.’

Glory in short works. “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.” It is a declaration into which both that both animate and inanimate are in harmony. A grit in the atmosphere can spun a beautiful filigree work of a snowflake or a rainbow from raindrops dispersing the light from the sun. Laws of nature works so rainbow does not form any shape other than a bow. Laws are consistent so cattle grazing in the fields know what to avoid what to feed upon. In the interaction of man and nature animals demonstrate a better sense than man for reasons that demonstrate his fallen state. So Prophet Isaiah essays why disasters have befallen…

Bible Study-De.7 ‘Thousand Generations’

GuidetohisWord

Thousand is a command number laid down by the Holy Spirit to signify the inheritance is of two worlds the here and now as well as of eternity. Unity of the Spirit enables man having body soul and spirit to walk in tandem with the triune God. Both worlds of the flesh and of the Spirit are about his heart, Because of this the Spirit sets variable speeds of heaven and the earth on single standard which is reconstituted time.

“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day(2 Pe.3:8)”. By the same token when God wants to instruct the disobedient nation who brought an evil report God sets them another scale, signifying their breach of promise shall merely prolong their days of evil. Because the people lust after fleshpots of Egypt…

Bible Study-De.6:12-13 ‘Beware”

GuidetohisWord

“Then beware lest thou forget the Lord, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage./Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name”.

Here we shall review the first 6 chapters in which Moses is exhorting the Israelites their obligations, privileges as to the land which they were about to possess. The Land flowing with milk and honey merely touch upon the outward aspect of blessings which lie within the frame of reference to the city which hath foundations whose maker and builder is God. Conversely the land of Egypt and the house of bondage refers the effect of Israel sharing the consequence of sin and of Satan who has chosen to stand contrary to God and those who are adopted in the Son. They were naturally called according to the promises of God to their forefathers.

Bible Study-De.6:10-12 “Deed of Inheritance”

GuidetohisWord

The earth and the fulness thereof belongs to God. In the Book of Psalms the Spirit the third office in Trinity attests to it. The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein./For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.(Ps.24:1-2)”

Legally God is the sovereign Lord which he founded upon floods to which we have reference signifying that God was particular how the earth which was without form and was void should shape up.’ And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.(Ge.1:2b)’

When we speak legally as mentioned above it refers to the Law which is eternally settled in heaven(Ps.119:89). The writers to the Hebrews refers to this in his epistle. “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,/ Hath in these last…

Bible Study-De.ch.6 “Body Spirit and Soul”

GuidetohisWord

Compare this chapter with what Jesus speaks on life.

This is broken into three sets. We have the role of spirit and we believe God is a Spirit. He formed the spirit in man. “Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him(Ze.12:1)”.

The spirit is a medium by which we take measure of one another. Thus Jonathan makes a covenant with David. “Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.(1 Sa.18:3)” The king’s son found in David a soul mate. It was set into a covenant. It is thus we call Jesus the lover of my soul. We consider ourselves dead to sin and we present our bodies a living sacrifice.” This is what the spirit component compels us to do. There is a reason for it. St Paul reasons…
