In this third study through the book of Deuteronomy, Pastor Kevin continues with Moses’ reminder to the Jews of what their history has been as they wandered in the Wilderness for forty years.

These two chapters deal with the events that transpired as God tells the Jewish people it is time for them to head north in preparation for crossing the Jordan river to conquer the nations of the Canaanites.

In their journey north, they pass through area controlled by the Edomites (descendants of Esau), and the Moabites/Ammonites (descendants of Lot’s two daughters). Kevin covers the history of these people groups and how they relate to us today.

The Jews are then told by God to defeat the Amorites (tribe of the Canaanites) that have migrated to the east side of the Jordan. The defeat of the Amorites will instill terror in the surrounding nations who are themselves about to be defeated. This order from God is to rid the land of these immoral idolaters who have been deceived by Satan to practice human sacrifice, and sexual immorality that would have resulted in the STDs that have plagued immoral people with diseases throughout history.

The study is concluded with a communion message that covers 1 Corinthians 10 where Paul alludes to this same time in Jewish history, warning that they were an example to us to not to go after idols. If the video file is cut short for time, the entire message can be found in audio format at our website.
