[Basic Christian: blog Bible Study] Deuteronomy 32-34 - Moses
prepares himself for his death - The Song of Moses -- 'Deuteronomy
32:1-4 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the
words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall
distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the
showers upon the grass: Because I will publish the Name of the LORD:
ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, His work is perfect:
for all His ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just
and right is He'
Death Outside the Promise Land: Moses the Lawgiver was only allowed to go to the border of the Promise Land, he
was only allowed to glimpse the Promise Land from a distance but he was not allowed to enter into the Promise
Land. Moses the Lawgiver had broken the law when Moses had unlawfully struck the Rock a second time. In
actuality striking the Rock a second time was not the only law that Moses broke it was just one of the more obvious
laws that Moses broke. Moses like all the rest of us he was unable to keep the law because the law can't be kept it
can only be observed just as Moses observed the Promise Land from a distance, observing but not entering. - The
Law does not take us into the presence of God but only to a boundary that actually keeps us apart from God. The
original law in the Garden of Eden was a boundary a boundary between mankind and the experience and
knowledge of evil. Mankind crossed God's Law boundary and went into the knowledge of evil [God continued to
give mankind the knowledge of good]. With mankind now knowledgeable of evil the Law is not just a boundary
from evil but out of necessity the Law has now also become a boundary between mankind and the Holiness of God.
- The Law is the Image and Holiness of God and therefore the Law now reveals God to a separated mankind and
once seeing God in His Holy Law mankind can easily recognize the need for mankind to be separated from
presence and Glory of the Holy God. Separated from God that is only until a remedy can be provided to fix man's
sinful predicament and remove the boundary of sin and of the Law. The remedy for our predicament and separation
from God has been provided but not in our life only in a new life in the Resurrection Life provided by God's Son
Jesus Christ. The Son of God, Jesus Christ will safely take us into Heaven, His Promise Land, just as certainly as
Joshua the son of Nun led the Children of Israel into their Promise Land a place that the law at best could only
glimpse from a distance and could not enter into but a place where the Son could not be kept out of as the Son will
enter in and place his foot upon the Promise Land. -- 'Deuteronomy 31:23 And He gave Joshua the son of Nun a
charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the Children of Israel into the land which I
sware unto them: and I will be with thee.' -- 'Deuteronomy 32:52 Yet thou [Moses, Lawgiver] shalt see the land
before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the Children of Israel.'
[Basic Christian: blog Bible Study] Galatians 4 - The Apostle Paul
continues to dispel any notion that there might be benefits to following
the Law that faith alone and the receiving of the Holy Spirit cannot
provide -- 'Galatians 4:4-7 But when the fullness of the time [human
history] was come, God sent forth His Son (Jesus), made of a woman
[virgin birth], made under the law [Temple in Jerusalem was in
operation], To redeem [bring into the presence of God] them that were
under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And
because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your
hearts, crying, Abba, Father. *Wherefore thou art no more a servant,
but a son; and if a son, then an heir [inheritor] of God through Christ.'
