It is a book of remembrance and retrospect. A book which shows new hope being attained through spiritual experience aligned with obedience. Author  The book itself indicates that Moses wrote it (Deut. 31:9).  Recipients  The events in the book of Deuteronomy i written to the "second” generation. A new generation had grown up and Moses therefore repeated and explained the law to the people of this new generation before they entered Canaan.  Message The book of Deuteronomy is, much more than just a repetition of the law; it is also an exposition of what it means.The covenant promise is the basis of Deuteronomy, but the relationship between God and his people within that covenant should be one of love. The sovereign love of God towards his people should been seen to produce a response of obedient love towards him. Structure  First Sermon: The Historical Appeal for Obedience. (1:1-4:49) Second Sermon: The Legal Basis for Obedience. (5:1-26:19)  Third Sermon: A Prophetical Exhortation for Obedience. (27:1-30:20)  Transitional Details. (31:1-34:12)  Joshua and Law. (31:1-30)Song of Moses. (32:1-52)Blessing of Moses. (33:1-29)Death of Moses. (34:1-12) Purpose  The purpose of Deuteronomy is for Moses to address Israel before he died and before they enter the land. He urges the people to obey the Lord saying If they do so, they will be blessed. If they do not, they will be cursed. He also needed to communicate the transitional arrangements involving Joshua before he died. Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.
