Survey of the book of Deuteronomy

Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.

This is a ministry of striving for eternity. The last of the five books of Moses is the book of Deuteronomy.

Now many people will look at Deuteronomy and they will see that this closely matches what's called a vassal treaty form and that is very similar but many also see that this is more sermonic.

This is Moses giving a sermon preaching to Israel. This is basically a reiteration of the law before the nation of Israel enters into the promised land.

So the idea of this book is they're about to go into this historical event where they're going to go into the promised land and what

Moses wants to do is give them a reiteration of the law, a covenant shall we say, between God and his people.

This is the book where we're going to see where God is going to give his commands to the nation of Israel.

You're then going to have toward the end, the last several chapters are going to be the transition from the leadership of Moses, which

Israel knew for the 40 years they were in the wilderness, to Joshua and he is going to be the new leader of Israel and then it will end in chapter 34 with the death of Moses.

So what we end up seeing in the book of Deuteronomy is God reiterates the law for the nation of Israel to follow as they enter into the promised land and it's good for us to understand the law of God.
