“Beware Lest Thou Forget the Lord” Deuteronomy 6–8; 15; 18; 29–30; 34

About this episode

This episode discusses Moses's final instructions to the Israelites as recorded in Deuteronomy, emphasizing the importance of loving and obeying God.

May 11–17: “Beware Lest Thou Forget the Lord” Deuteronomy 6–8; 15; 18; 29–30; 34 Moses’s earthly ministry began on a mountain, when God spoke to him from a burning bush (see Exodus 3:1–10). It also ended on a mountain, more than 40 years later, when God gave him a glimpse of the promised land from the top of Mount Nebo (see Deuteronomy 34:1–4). Moses had spent his life preparing the children of Israel to enter that promised land, and the book of Deuteronomy records his final instructions, reminders, exhortations, and pleadings with the Israelites. Reading his words makes it clear that the real object of Moses’s ministry—the preparation the people needed—wasn’t about wilderness survival, conquering enemies, or building a nation. It was about learning to love God, obey Him, and remain loyal to Him. That’s the preparation we all need to enter the promised land of eternal life. So although Moses never set foot in the “land flowing with milk and honey” (Exodus 3:8), because of his faith and faithfulness, he did enter the promised land that God has prepared for all those who follow Him.
