Deut

The text emphasizes the transition of leadership from Moses to Joshua and the importance of adhering to God's laws for the Israelites. It recounts God's significant works to foster a faith grounded in historical evidence rather than blind belief.

Deut

Relation to other books

Hebrew Scripture
Ruth

Ruth is a moabite

King David fall under Deut

Jesus is King David Decendent

See Deut 23:3

Exodus

Deut has the "exodus" version

Has the creation version of the 10 Commandment

Exodus language and images

Lots of political and Christian piousmovements use it

From Yancy's book on what Scripture Jesus read.

The main point is that political movement and even Christian pious movement uses the Exodos language and images selectively and thus have a distorted view.

Deut has a realistic view of the Exodus experience:



  • Before Exodus, Israel rebel against Moses, do not trust God, complain.
  • After Exodus before Jordan, Israel is a still neck people, extremely negative in life views, complain and whine despite repeated miracles from God, rebel, thankless... got so extremed even God almost got fed up with them and decide to wipe them out.
  • After Exodus after Jordan, they fulfill Deut prophecy where they did conquered the land and within a few generation, they forgotten God.

  • Basically, political and Christian movement view pre-exodus as all dark and that they are the "saints" and they look forward to Cannan which is sort of heaven on earth. They forget that you have to fight in Cannan and it is full of traps that will lead one away from God. They forgot that without God, they will degenerate into tyranny just as their oppressors were (or worst). They forgot the lure of power and how power corrupts. They underestimate the danger of power, judge their oppressors (who abuse power, who are trapped by the lure of power) and forget that they too can fall into the same power trap once they come into power.

    Problem

    Fail to look at what Deut looked at

    What happened after Exodus

    After crossing Jordan (prophetic in Deut and fullfilled in other historical books in the Bible)

    Before crossing Jordan

    What happened before Exodus

    Forgot about the relationship with Deut and other books of the Bibl

    Take Exodus out of context

    Only look at Exodus

    The rest of the Bible uses it

    NT
    Jesus

    Jesus is Passover Lamb

    Deut 8:3 man does not live on bread alone...Jesus is the heavenly bread.

    Deut 6:5 (love your God with everything)when asked what isthe greatest commandment (Mat 22:37)

    Mat's sermon on the mount refer indirectly to the 10 commandments

    Use Deut 3x against Satan

    Jesus quoted Deut 3x

    Deut 8:3(not bread alone)

    Deut 6:16(don't test God)

    Deut 6:13(worship God alone)

    Satan quoted Psalm 91:11,12 once

    Mat's and Luke's order slightly different

    Luke 4:1-13

    Mat 4:1-11

    Moses desires to cross into the promise land

    God said no but also God's grace

    In the transfiguration

    He stood with Jesus in the promised land

    He is sored about itas demonstrated byMoses repeated reminderof how Israel caused himhis trip to the promise land
