(Through the Bible) Deuteronomy 9-16 — Chuck Smith

Deuteronomy as Moses’ Final Rehearsal of the Law

As we have told you, the word Deuteronomy means the second law. It is really a rehearsal, sort of a capsulization by Moses of the law that was given. Deuteronomy itself, though it covers the 40 years from Egypt to the entering into the Promised Land, covered only about 40 days as far as the time of it being given to the children of Israel.

Moses was now an aged man, however, he was still very spry. He still had excellent eyesight, excellent hearing. None of his forces had abated. Sometimes when I have to put on my glasses, I say, God, you did it for Moses, why don't you do it for me?

There he still had good, sharp vision, 120 years old. None of the natural forces abated. Still a spry fellow. Able to get over the rocks as quick as any of them. But God had said that he wasn't going to be able to enter into the Promised Land.

Knowing that they are now ready to enter in. Knowing that they have come now to the border of the land. In front of them is the Jordan River. On the other side, the city of Jericho, the first of the conquest.

Knowing that he cannot cross over Jordan by God's divine order. And knowing that the time had come to cross over Jordan. He realizes that the time of his departure is at hand. And so he is giving in these last 40 days of his life a charge to these people.

In which he is rehearsing the covenant that God had established with them again. The covenant relationship that they were to have with God. The covenant by which they were to possess this land and to dwell in this land.

And so these are important things that Moses is covering in the book of Deuteronomy. As he again goes over and rehearses for the people. Bringing them into remembrance. The laws, the commandments, the statutes, the judgments of God.

For he will soon be departing. They'll no longer be able to come for him for counsel and advice. And for the leading of God. Or for the word of God. Or the counsel of God. He will soon be departing. And thus he is giving to them this final charge.

The book of Deuteronomy. And so in chapter 9 he continues. "...Ero Israel, thou art to pass over Jordan this day to go in to possess the nations that are greater and mightier than thyself. Cities that are great and fenced up to heaven.".

Now they had come to the point of entering into the land once before in their history some 40 years earlier. But at that point, because fear overtook them. When they heard that the cities had great walls.

Were heavily fortified. When they heard that giants inhabited the cities. They became so frightened. They felt that they could not go in because the inhabitants of the land were actually stronger than they were.

And they tried to get a leader to take them back to Egypt. And God's wrath came. And because of their failure 40 years earlier, God had condemned them to this 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. Even as the spies had been in the land for 40 days, spying out the land.

So God said, you'll have a year for every day the spies were in the land. Of just roaming in the wilderness until this whole generation be passed away. Their cry was, God has brought us here to destroy us.

If we go in and try and take the land, they're going to kill our wives and all of our little children. And we're going to be buried here in this area. And so God said, you've worried about your little children.

But they're the ones that are going to go in and possess the land. You won't be able to go in. Now Moses is trying to ensure against this fear gripping their hearts again. If they do not enter in at this point, it will be disaster for them.

And so Moses is seeking now to brace them, to encourage them, to declare the problems that exist. To look realistic, in a realistic way, at the things that they were facing. And yet to encourage their hearts that the God that they served was greater than any obstacle they faced.

Faith Beyond Fear and the Power of God

Now I think that it is important for us as Christians to look realistically at the problems of life. I think that it is foolish for us to try to make light of serious things. I think that we need to look realistically, and yet at the same token, we need to look beyond the problem and realize that the God that we serve is capable of handling any problem that we might face.

To look beyond the problems to the power of God and the sustaining hand of God upon our lives. And so this is what Moses... he's seeking to be realistic. He said, alright, now look. You're going to cross over this Jordan and you're going to go in and you're going to possess lands and possess the cities and people that are stronger than you.

Nations that are greater and mightier than you are, but you're going to conquer them. A people who are great and tall. You're going to be facing a bunch of these giants. The children of the Anakims. And the Anakims were like the Watusi tribe in Africa.

The giants. And they felt like a bunch of pygmies in front of these people that inhabited the land. And these people are great. They are tall. You know them. You've heard say, who can stand before the children of Anakim?

You've heard that remark. They say, oh, they're giants. Who can stand before them? And understand therefore this day that the Lord thy God is He which goeth over before you. You see, you're going to have... the nations are great, granted.

The people are tall. They are giants, granted. But the Lord, your God, is going to go before you. I think that many times we get spooked when we're just looking at our problems. And we, in just looking at the problems that we face, get a loss of perspective.

Where we fail to see the greatness and the power of God. You know, it's amazing how big our problems can look to us when we're right next to them. In fact, we can lose perspective and can't see anything else but our problem when you get so close to it.

At that point, we're prone to forget God. We're prone to lose sight of God. We must never lose sight of God. The sun is 865 ,000 miles in diameter. 1 ,200 ,000 times larger than our earth. As big as it is, you can block out the sight of the sun with something as small as a glasses case.

Though it is that big, something this small can block your sight of the sun if it's close enough to you. You get so close to your problems, all you can see is your problem. Now, God is as great as the universe.

He fills the whole universe, but I can't see Him. My problems have blinded me. Now, Moses speaks of the problems, but then he reminds them that they don't need to really be concerned about the problem because the Lord thy God is going to go before you.

We are faced with a strong and powerful enemy who is stronger than we are. We are no match for Satan's power. And you can get so involved with the power of Satan, so overawed by the power of Satan, that you lose sight of the power of God.

But greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. You're no match for Satan, but Satan is no match for God. And it is the Lord thy God who goes before thee to fight your battles, to dispossess the land of your enemies.

And we need to remember the Lord and His power. For He is going before you as a consuming fire. He shall destroy them and shall bring them down before thy face so that thou shalt drive them out and destroy them quickly, as the Lord has said unto thee.

Rejecting Self-Righteousness and Giving Glory to God

Now, He said, when you get in the land and God has driven out the enemy and you've gone in and possessed him and wiped him out, then beware of self-righteousness. Unless you kick back and say, well, it's because we were so righteous that God has done this for us.

Oh, what a terrible thing self-righteousness is and how easily it attaches itself to us. There is something perverse about our nature that we desire to have people think that we are more righteous than we really are.

That's a perversity of our nature. We like people to think that we are spiritual giants, that we really walk close to God. And there is oftentimes a perverse tendency on our part to put off some kind of a righteous aura.

We try to look very righteous and holy and pious. We like people to think, oh, we are extremely holy people. Like, because I am so holy, God is able to use me. But I can understand why He doesn't use you.

You know, this spiritual put-down kind of a thing. When Peter was at the temple going in with James at the hour of prayer, and the man said, Alms, alms! And Peter said, Hey, look at me, pal. And the guy turned expecting to receive something.

And Peter said, I don't have any silver and gold. Smart mouth of mine to ask me to look at you. What I have, I'll give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise to your feet and walk. And Peter took this fellow by the right hand, lifted him to his feet, and immediately he received strength in his feet and his ankles.

He began to walk and leap, running through the temple, walking, leaping, praising God. After one passed through the temple, walking, leaping, praising God, as he was going by, people said, Isn't that the lame man that's been lying out there every day?

For years? Man, it sure looks like him. What in the world is happening to him? No, no, no, let's go see. And a crowd followed this guy. Some five thousand. So that by the time he came back out of the porch where Peter was still standing, he no doubt grabbed hold of Peter, hugged him, kissed him, jumped up and down, so that the people related the miracle to Peter some way.

And Peter said, Ye men of Israel, why look ye on us as though we through our own righteousness have wrought this deed to this lame man? Peter at that moment was in one of the greatest jeopardies of his entire ministry.

When the people were looking at him as though he were some holy, righteous kind of a creature, it would have been very easy with all of these people looking at Peter in awe and in wonder, oh, Peter, you know.

I touch you. For him to say, well now, to have this kind of power in your life, it takes real sacrifice and dedication. You've got to really commit yourself totally unto God. Few people are able to make the sacrifices that are necessary in order to handle this kind of power.

And what is he doing? He's taking the attention and the glory away from God and putting it onto himself. Now, many ministers have been guilty of doing this because our flesh would like people to think that we are something special, that we are something that is holy, that we're a little bit above the normal in our dedication and consecration.

And my old flesh, my old body is so sneaky that it would like to give off a little righteous aura around me so that people will think that I am so very, very holy. But that's a constant danger to anyone who is ministering, to anyone who experiences the work of God in his life, because people are prone to look at the instrument rather than at God, the One who is using the instrument.

And begin to give glory and credit to the instrument rather than to God. And thus, the instrument has to be very careful that it doesn't take glory, that it doesn't take credit. So, Paul the Apostle said, I keep my body under.

I buffet myself and keep my body under. Under what? Under control. Under the Spirit. Lest having preached to others, I myself should be put on the shelf. And so it is important that when God works in your life, you don't begin to get some kind of spiritual pride and spiritual righteousness saying, well, it's because I'm so sweet, or I'm so holy, or I'm so righteous, or I'm so committed, God has done this for me.

God said, hey, don't get that kind of a frame of mind. When you come into the land and you're possessing the land and you're dwelling there, then don't think, well, it's because we're so righteous, we're such a holy people, God gave us this land.

That isn't the reason. Because we were more righteous than those that are there and so forth. God said, it isn't your holiness and it isn't because you are so righteous that I'm giving you the land. It's really because these people are so vile and so impure I'm just driving them out.

Understand, therefore, that the Lord thy God gives thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness, for you're a stiff-necked people. Sounds like Romaine, doesn't it? Or Moses. And then He reminds them of their stiff-neckedness.

How they provoked God so many times when they just left Egypt. They weren't even out of the land of Egypt when they provoked God the first time. And now all the way through they were continually provoking God.

And so He reminds them of how He had to intercede more than once, lest God would have wiped them out. And so He reminds them of the burnings. Tiberias, verse 22. Then Massa and Kibroth-Hattabah, the Graze of Lust, the place of temptation where God was provoked against them.

And also at Kadesh-Barnea. And He said, You have been a rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you. From the beginning. Therefore, it isn't for your righteousness that the Lord is doing this.

Or the uprightness of your heart. But actually, God has given a promise unto your fathers. To Abraham and to Jacob. And God is just fulfilling His promise to your fathers, but you're a bunch of stiff-necked, rebellious people.

Israel’s Failures, God’s Requirements, and Faith in Christ

In chapter 10, He continues of their failures during the wilderness experiences. And He is reminding them of the failure at the time when God had given to Him the law on the two tables of stone. And how that when He came down from the mountain, that the people had made this golden calf and were worshiping it.

And how the tables of stone were broken. And so He was commanded by the Lord to take two more tables of stone. And for another 40 days and 40 nights in fasting without water or bread. There on the mount before God.

And God wrote on the tables according to the first writing, the Ten Commandments, verse 4. In the mount in the midst of the fire. And the Lord gave them unto Me. And so how that the Lord led them. And then in verse 12, the question, And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee?

This is a question that every one of us should be concerned with. What does God require of me? As soon as I conclude in my mind that God does exist, and let me suggest that it is much easier to believe that God exists than to not believe that God exists.

I don't know how many of you saw that sunrise this morning. Oh, it was absolutely glorious. I don't see how anybody could look at that sunrise and not believe that God exists. When you start thinking of the whole process of the universe.

When you start thinking of the processes of life, it's much easier to believe that God exists than not to believe that God exists. So, when you come to the conclusion that God exists, and that conclusion is easily derived at when you look at man.

And you realize all of the intricacies that make up just the first cell of man. And you see our capacities. You realize that God exists because no one but God could create an instrument such as our body except one who has all wisdom and all knowledge.

An omniscient God. Now, if God created me, He must have created me for a purpose. Therefore, what does God require of me? I don't believe that God would have just created man and just said, here you are, now you're on your own.

That having been created by God, I have certain obligations and responsibilities to my Creator. What are they? Here, O Israel, this is what the Lord requires of you. To reverence the Lord thy God. To walk in all His ways.

To love Him and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul. To keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you this day for thy good. Well, that's pretty heavy.

What does God require? That you reverence Him. That you walk in all of His ways. That you love Him and serve Him with all your heart and all your soul. You say, well, I failed in that. What now? That you keep all of His commandments.

That you walk in all of His ways. That you reverence Him. We haven't done it. As the Bible said, we've all sinned and come short of the glory of God. Does that mean that it's all over? There is no hope for me?

No. God has an alternate plan. Because man was not able to fulfill God's requirement. And this is God's ideal requirement. This is how God would have you to live. And God would have every man to live.

And let me suggest, if every man lived according to this requirement, we'd have one fantastic, beautiful world. If every man was walking in the ways of God, loving God, loving each other as they love themselves, and walking in full harmony with God.

What a fabulous world this could be. But man failed. And rather than reverencing God, man so often blasphemes God. Rather than loving and serving, man is rebelling against Him. And we also fail to walk in all of His ways and to love and serve Him as we should.

So, does that mean we're lost? There's no hope? No. In the New Testament, they came to Jesus with the question, what must we do to do the works of God? Same idea. What does God require of us? What must we do to do the works of God?

And Jesus said, this is the work of God, that you believe on Him whom He hath sent. Praise the Lord, I can do that. Though I failed in the ideal requirement, yet I can now fulfill the actual requirement of God.

What does God actually require of me tonight? That I believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. Alright, I can handle that. Now to me, it's fabulous that that's what God requires of me. That I just believe in the provisions that He has made for my sin by sending His Son.

Believe in Him whom He hath sent. Now, as I believe in Jesus Christ, I receive a new dynamic for life. For Christ comes in and begins to indwell me. And as He comes in and indwells me, He by His indwelling power and presence begins to give me the strength, the ability to live according to God's divine ideal.

He gives me now the strength to walk in the ways of righteousness. He gives me now the love that I need for God. He begins to work now in me, doing for me what I couldn't do for myself. You see, God hasn't really given up on the divine ideal, but now He through Christ is giving me the capacity to fulfill the divine ideal.

But I have fulfilled God's requirement for me the moment I believed in Jesus Christ. The moment I committed my life to Him, I fulfilled God's requirement for me. So, we look at God's ideal requirement in the Old Testament and we realize that we have all failed, so we come to the New Testament and we find that we can all handle God's actual requirement for us tonight just to believe on Him whom He has sent.

God’s Ownership of Creation and the Coming Kingdom

Now, He reminds them, Behold the heaven, and the heaven of heavens is the Lord thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is. Everything belongs to God. Look at the universe. It all is His. The heaven of heavens belongs to God.

That's the whole universe out there with its billions of galaxies. We read in the Psalms, The earth is the Lord in the fullness thereof, and all they that dwell therein. Here it is declared that the earth also, with all that therein is.

Everything that is in this whole thing actually belongs to God. But Satan has usurped that which belongs to God and has taken control of it. But Jesus came to redeem it back to God and paid the price of redemption so that one day very soon, very, very soon, God is going to lay claim to that which Jesus purchased almost 2 ,000 years ago.

Soon it's going to be God's again. Technically it is now. Jesus already paid the price. But Satan is still usurping the authority and the power. Ruling over the world. But before long, Jesus is going to come and set one foot upon the land and one foot upon the sea and declare that the kingdoms of this world have now become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ.

And He's going to take His power and He's going to rule. And then you'll see the world that God intended when He created. People get awfully confused today because they look around at the world that they see today and they think, well, how can a God of love create this mess?

How can a God of love allow the Cambodian situation? The starving children. How can a God of love allow children to be born deformed? Right now, the world is in rebellion against God. You don't see the world that God intended.

God wants. God plans. You see the world that is suffering, the fruit of its rebellion. But one of these days, Jesus is coming to establish God's kingdom and He's going to rule over the earth. And in that day, you'll see the world that God intended.

A world that is without sickness. A world that is without suffering. A world that is without pain. A world that is without any deformities. There will be no blind, no lame, no deaf, no dumb. You'll see the world God intended.

I can hardly wait. You know people, when you start talking about the end of the world, as we know the end of the world is going to be, not really the big gigantic atomic holocaust and that's the end of the world and there's just this radioactive cloud hovering over it and that's all.

That isn't what we're looking for as Christians at all. We're looking for the end of the Koumenis. Wait a minute. You may not want to clap. And the Carters. Thank you. And all of men who have attempted to rule over men and who have failed.

We're looking for a King to come who will reign in righteousness over the earth and will establish a true righteousness over the earth. And men will live together in peace. And they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks and they'll study war no more.

And men will live together in righteousness, in peace. And there will not be a hungry person on the face of the earth when men divert his military budgets to agricultural development. And that's exactly what the Prophet says is going to happen.

A world without greed. A world where the strong do not oppress the weak or the rich do not oppress the poor. But where all love and experience the joy and the presence of God dwelling with men. What's so bad about that?

I'll tell you. What to me would be a doomsday message would be to say, brethren, brace yourself. You've got to go on in this mess. There's no way out. That to me would be a doomsday prophet. But declare that this mess is soon coming to an end.

It's not a doomsday message at all. It's a message of glory. It's a message of hope. And that's the message that I have to bear to you from God's Word. Thank God that we're coming soon to the end of the chaos that man has created upon the earth.

And we're going to see the establishment of God's righteous kingdom. The heavens is God. The earth is Lord. Everything that is in it. And He's going to lay claim to it very soon. Only the Lord had a delight in your fathers to love them.

Circumcision of the Heart and Spiritual Reality

And He chose their seed after them, even you. Therefore, you've been stiff-necked, you've been rebellious, but now He declares, circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart. Now the right of circumcision was given to Abraham and it was intended as a spiritual thing.

The idea was that you were cutting off the flesh life. You weren't to live after the flesh. You were to live after the Spirit. And it was the mark of a people who were to be a spiritual people, or people who were spiritually oriented and spiritually minded.

In contrast to the natural man of the world who is always materialistically minded and mindful of his physical material needs. God's people weren't to be a people dominated by the materialistic things.

By the fleshly things. They were to be a people that were dominated by spiritual things. And the sign of that spiritual covenant with God was circumcision. Now, they kept the covenant in a physical way, but not in a spiritual way.

And Paul brings out the whole inconsistency of the ritual apart from the reality. And it's possible for people today to have certain religious rituals, but not have any reality of a relationship with God.

Going through the rituals. Going through the motions. And that was the church of Ephesus. They were still going through the motions, but they didn't have the emotion. Jesus said, you've left your first love.

And it's very possible today for people to be in the same status as the children of Israel in which they were depending upon the outward ritual, when in reality, God was interested in the inward work in the heart.

And so He said, circumcise therefore the flesh of your heart. And Paul picks this up in Romans 2 and says, the true circumcision is not of the flesh, but of the heart. My heart alienated from a life of the flesh.

My heart no longer longing after the things of the flesh, but a heart that is now after God. And as David, as the deer paneth after the water brooks, so paneth my soul after Thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for Thee as in a dry and a parched land.

Oh, that's the kind of people God is looking for. Those who are spiritually minded, spiritually oriented, who are thirsting after God in their heart and in their life, and wanting to live a spiritual life that is dedicated unto Him.

So, the encouragement towards the spiritual life. For the Lord your God is a God of gods. He is a Lord of lords. A great God, mighty and awesome. The word terrible is an archaic word as far as our language goes.

It means awesome, which regards not persons, nor takes reward. The word terrible has had a change of meaning through usage in the English language since the King James translation. And so, the word, you would better translate it awesome.

We think of terrible as, you know, something that is tragic, horrible, grotesque, right. It's archaic. So, awesome God. Now, love therefore the stranger and reverence the Lord thy God. Him shalt thou serve.

To Him thou shalt cleave and swear by His name. He is thy praise. He is thy God. He has done for thee these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen. So, the encouragement to reverence God, serve God, praise God, love God.

Turn your lives over to God. In chapter 11, He continues His warnings to them as they are about to come into the land. And He reminds them again of the miracles that God did for them in bringing them out of Egypt.

How He spoiled the Pharaoh and all of his land. How He destroyed the armies of Egypt there in the Red Sea. And how He watched over them, nurtured them, kept them, preserved them all through the wilderness right up to this moment.

And what He did to those that rebelled against Him. Dathan and Biram. How the earth opened and swallowed them up. Your eyes have seen all the great acts of the Lord which He did. You've watched God work.

Obedience, Blessing, and Israel’s Land

Therefore, you're to keep all of His commandments which I command you this day. Be strong. Go in and possess the land that you may prolong your days in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give to them.

A land that flows with milk and honey. The land where you go to possess is not the land of Egypt from which you came out, where you sowed your seed and had to water it with your foot like a garden of herbs.

But it's a land where you're going to get sufficient rain, where there will be plenty of strains and rivulets and so forth. Drinking water. The rain from heaven. A land that your Lord cares for. And this I love.

This particular spot of land is a land that the Lord cares for. And the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it. I always like to think of this Scripture when I'm over in Israel. Hey, I'm right in the area where God's always looking.

The eyes of the Lord are always upon this particular spot of land. It's a land that God cares for. Now, it really isn't the most beautiful land in the world. I've been in a lot of places that I think are more beautiful than Israel as far as physical beauty.

Really, the state of California. You get up into the high Sierras, up around Yosemite, and you've got beauties that are unparalleled as far as there's nothing in Israel to compare with those things. But yet, it is a land that God had purpose to fulfill His plan of redemption for mankind.

And thus, it is a land that God was interested in. It's a land that He cares for because in this land, His Son was to be born. In this land, His Son was to walk. In this land, His Son was to die. And thus, God was interested in this land.

His eyes are always upon it. From the beginning of the year even to the end of the year. Now, it will come to pass if you hearken diligently unto My commandments which I command you this day to love the Lord your God, to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, then God will give you the rain in its due season.

First and the latter rain that you may gather your corn and your wine and your oil. And I'll send the grass in the fields for your cattle that you may eat and be full. So, when you come in, as long as you love God and serve God, God's going to bless you.

The land will be blessed. You'll have rain in its season. The early and the latter rain. You'll have green grass in the field for your cattle. You'll have good crops. One requirement. Just love God and serve God with all your heart, with all your soul.

But, take heed, that your heart is not deceived that you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them. And then the Lord's wrath will be kindled against you. And He shut up the heavens that there be no rain.

And the land will not yield their fruit, lest you perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord gives you. Therefore, lay up these words in your heart and in your soul. Bind them for a sign upon your hand that they might be as frontlet between your eyes.".

In other words, remember this. Now, the interesting thing. Again, you can get into a ritual, but you can, in the ritual, forget the meanings. And they still go through the ritual of binding their phylacteries.

They go through the ritual of binding the little law upon their hand. Binding the little box with the law upon their foreheads. The mezuzahs on their door and the kissing of the mezuzah. They go through the whole ritual thing, but that's all it is, is a ritual.

There is no real serving God and loving God with all their hearts and souls. The ritual has substituted for that. And we must beware, lest we allow a ritual to substitute for reality. It's a deception.

They were warned that they should not be deceived and go worshiping other gods. Though the warning came, yet they did not heed the warning and thus, even as God pronounced the judgments that should come, they did come, because God's Word is true.

Teach them to your children. Speak to them when you're sitting down at the table, when you're lying down in the room at night, when you're walking with them in the path. Write them upon the doorpost of your house and upon your gates.

I think that it's great to have mottos around the house. Scriptures pasted up on the walls. For you ladies, on your mirrors, you might have the Scripture, favor is deceitful, beauty is vain, but the woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.

That around the house, we have the Word of God. God is saying, look, put it all over the place. Write it out there. This is good graffiti. We have a fellow in our church who designs heart pacers and has designed some of the most sophisticated heart pacers that are in the entire industry.

Little computers that are the size of a quarter that can be implanted under the skin and remain operational for 20 years. And the other night, he brought me the big design sheets for this new computerized heart pacer that will be about the size of a quarter.

And he was laying them out in my office and showing me these big layout sheets. They take photographs of these big layout sheets and put them on these little tiny silicon chips and all. And then they lay the chips one on top of the other and you have just a miniature computer the size of a quarter.

It will constantly monitor your heartbeat and as soon as your heartbeat drops down below 57 or 56 or wherever the doctor wants to set it, then this little computer, when it's monitoring your heart, when it drops below that, it kicks on and starts throwing an electrical charge at your heart to keep the beat up to whatever standard the doctor wants it.

Once it's implanted, he's got a little system where the doctor can just with a magnet change the computer from the outside. And it's a very sophisticated little thing, but he was showing me these layout sheets with all of the little circuitry designs within it.

But in all of this circuitry design, he's got Romans 10, 9 and 10. And thou shalt confess with thy mouth that Jesus is Lord. Believe in your heart that God is risen from the dead. Thou shalt be saved.

Maranatha does. Fish. John 3 .16. And all kinds of Scriptures. Jesus is love and God loves you. All of this are all imprinted in these little miniature microchips for the computer. Takes an electron microscope to see them, but he says, I figure whoever gets one of these heart pacers is going to have the Word of God hidden away in his heart.
