We delve into one of the most significant speeches in history—Moses' final address to Israel in the book of Deuteronomy. Moses urges the Israelites to believe in Yahweh, follow the Law, and take the Promised Land. Additionally, we unpack Moses' prophecy about a future prophet like him, who will speak God's words and mediate between God and the people.

We explore the profound parallels between the bronze serpent lifted by Moses in the wilderness and Jesus Christ's ultimate sacrifice on the cross. We begin with the story from Numbers 21, where the Israelites are saved from deadly serpents by looking at a bronze serpent.

This episode explores the Israelites' journey to the southern border of Canaan. As they reach Kadesh, internal conflicts arise, with Miriam and the congregation questioning Moses's leadership. God instructs Moses to send twelve spies to Canaan. Their report of the land's richness incites fear among the congregation, leading to rebellion. Two spies, Caleb and Joshua, demonstrate faith in God's promise to conquer the land, but their encouragement is met with threats. The Israelite rebellion culminates in God's judgement: the Israelites will wander in the wilderness for 40 years, with only Caleb and Joshua surviving. NOTE: The tribe of Levi may have been excluded from the judgment on the congregation (Eleazar, the son of Aaron, was almost certainly above 20, Levi had no spy representative among the 12, and Levites may have been exempted from military service)Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!
