In order to find the God that made man, we must first forget the God that man made.

  • Volume 5-2, Deuteronomy 2-5 Part 1

    https://biblehub.com/nkjv/deuteronomy/2.htm In Chapter 2, Moses reviews their journey through the wilderness and the battle with King Sihon. In Chapter 3, Moses reviews their battle with King Og, as well as how the promised land was divided between the tribes. He also relates how he became angry and struck the rock, and how because of that, God denied him entry into the promised land. In Chapter 4, Moses reviews the importance of being obedient to Gods… Continue reading

  • Volume 5-1, Deuteronomy 1

    https://biblehub.com/nkjv/deuteronomy/1.htm The word “Deuteronomy” means “the second law”, or “repeated word”, and there’s many potential reasons why this book is in the Bible. First, the definition “second law” indicates to us that Moses reminds everyone of the laws and commands God has given, including the Ten Commandments. Kind of like going to church or reading the Bible multiple times, we all need constant reminders of what God wants of us. Another possibility is that Moses… Continue reading

  • Volume 4-19, Numbers 36, Psalm 90

    https://biblehub.com/nkjv/numbers/36.htm Today we finish the Book of Numbers. And the Pentateuch focused mainly on the Patriarch, so everything was gear towards males. But in the case of Zelophehad, he only had daughters, and previously addressed this with God because by the laws, they could not inherit anything because they were female. And God granted the daughters to have an inheritance. They were descendants of Joseph whose inheritance was split between his children Ephraim and Manasseh.… Continue reading

  • Volume 4-18, Numbers 35

    https://biblehub.com/nkjv/numbers/35.htm This chapter begins by establishing the cities for the Levites to inhabit. As stated before, the Levites were given the job of ministry and caring for the Tabernacle, and they did not receive an inheritance in the land, but God gave them cities within each tribe in which to live. And now we talk about cities of refuge. I think I understand, but I’m not solid on it; I’m still praying for understanding. God… Continue reading

  • Volume 4-17, Numbers 33-34

    https://biblehub.com/nkjv/numbers/33.htm There has been a great debate over exactly where the children of Israel crossed the Red Sea. Many try to follow the description given in the Bible, while others turn to science, looking for the location where the sea is at its shallowest, where the bank falls just right so there isn’t a big drop off, and looking at the lay of the land which would have allowed the children of Israel to become… Continue reading

  • Volume 4-16, Numbers 30-32

    https://biblehub.com/nkjv/numbers/30.htm This chapter of the Book of Numbers deals with “Vows of Women”. Feel free to read it and understand it how you wish, but my takeaway applies to everyone, man, woman, husband, wife, child, it doesn’t matter; the lesson is to keep your word. Not keeping your word is no different than telling a lie, and specifically, keep your word to God. If you make a vow to God, keep it. In Chapter 31,… Continue reading

  • Volume 4-15, Numbers 26-29

    https://biblehub.com/nkjv/numbers/26.htm In this chapter, God commanded Moses to take another census of the men of Israel, those of who were 20 and older, men capable of going to war. And each tribe is outlined with the number of people in each tribe. In Numbers 27, God is preparing Moses for his coming death. The only one of the original generation of those brought out of Egypt would not be allowed into the promised land because… Continue reading
