In yesterday's episode, we heard the story 54 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 4: of Balem, who, after his encounter with God, had a 55 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 4: changed heart and no longer sought to curse Israel for 56 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 4: his own personal gain, but rather bless the nation God 57 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 4: had chosen. Our passage ended with a prophecy from Balem 58 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 4: of one who would come from Israel and shine bright 59 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 4: as a star and bless the whole world. Today we 60 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 4: move ahead many years to the final days of Moses, 61 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 4: the great leader God has used for so many years 62 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 4: to guide his people out of Egypt and through the desert. 63 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 4: We'll also learn of the leader who was to come 64 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 4: after him, a young man we've met before, who desired 65 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 4: to follow God and to live in his presence. Let's 66 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 4: listen now to today's reading. 67 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 3: It was still evening when the Lord spoke to Moses. 68 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 3: The stars spread across the skies like a tapestry. Moses, 69 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 3: now one hundred and twenty years old, slept in his 70 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 3: tent soundly. Dawn was approaching, and God spoke to Moses 71 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 3: and the quiet, saying, go up to the mountain, and 72 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 3: I will let you gaze upon the land I have 73 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 3: promised Israel. Even though you may not enter it, I 74 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 3: shall let you see the fruit of your labor before 75 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 3: you die. Moses had already accepted his fate and was 76 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 3: going to welcome death gracefully. However, he was still concerned 77 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: about the people of Israel. Moses, still lying in his bed, 78 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 3: spoke to the Lord, saying, God of body and soul, 79 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 3: appoint to man from among the people who shall lead, 80 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 3: for they will be like sheep without a shepherd. Moses 81 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 3: was a shepherd, after all, and he had come to 82 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 3: realize the people of Israel were no different than sheep. 83 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 3: In need of guidance and love. God spoke to Moses, 84 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 3: take Joshua, who has my spirit, and lay your hand 85 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 3: on him to bless him. Make him stand before Eliazar, 86 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 3: the priest, and commission him. As dawn broke, Moses gathered Joshua, 87 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 3: Eliazar and the congregation of Israel. Moses looked at the 88 00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 3: people of Israel, God's sheep, their hopeful faces shown from 89 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 3: the rising sun. Moses's heart welled with love, hope, and sadness. 90 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: He rose his hand and spoke his final blessings over them. 91 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 3: Hear me, sweet children of Israel, Blessings and curses stand 92 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 3: before you. Every day there will be a choice to 93 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 3: choose between life and death, hope and hopelessness, good and evil. 94 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 3: If you listen closely to the voice of God and 95 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 3: obey his commands, he will restore your souls. He will 96 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 3: circumcise your heart as he did your bodies. Love the 97 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 3: Lord your God with all your soul, and you will prosper. 98 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 3: Your enemies will be cursed, and all you do will succeed. 99 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 3: For God will take delight in you as he did 100 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: your forefathers, keep his commands close to your hearts. The 101 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 3: afternoon had come, and Moses continued to speak to Israel 102 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 3: with a contented smile on his face. I am one 103 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 3: hundred twenty years old. Today I am no longer able 104 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 3: to keep myself upright. The Lord will go before you 105 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 3: and lead. He will vanquish every nation that opposes you. 106 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 3: Moses then held the shoulder of Joshua and brought him 107 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 3: before the people. Joshua will lead you as the head. 108 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 3: Be strong and courageous. Fear no one, for God will 109 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 3: not leave you or forsake you. The people cheered as 110 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 3: the final words of Moses struck the collective cord of Israel. 111 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 3: Hope filled the crowd like an overflowing well. Moses turned 112 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 3: to Joshua, holding his head close to his own. Be 113 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 3: strong and have courage, He said to Joshua, it is 114 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 3: God who goes before you. He will be with you. 115 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 3: He will not leave you. Do not fear anything. Moses's 116 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,239 Speaker 3: voice cracked as he held back tears. Joshua looked deeply 117 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 3: into the eyes of Moses, the eyes of a man 118 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 3: blessed by God. After this, Moses said his final blessings 119 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 3: over Israel. He spoke to them as a tender and 120 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 3: loving father. Tears streamed down their faces as they listened 121 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 3: in silence. After Moses said his prayers and blessings over Israel, 122 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 3: he sang over them. His voice was old and raspy, 123 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 3: but the people were enraptured by every word. They swayed 124 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 3: to the song. Smiling. Moses sang to God, and in 125 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 3: that moment his heart for the Lord was pouring out 126 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 3: on to all the people listening. The deep well of 127 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 3: connection was now overflowing, and the people rejoiced. The sun 128 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 3: began its descent. Moses then climbed up the plains of 129 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 3: Moab towards Mount Nebo. There at the peak, the Lord 130 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 3: showed Moses the entire land. God mapped out the countryside 131 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 3: before him, making mention of where all the twelve tribes 132 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 3: would dwell. This is the land I swore to Abraham. 133 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 3: God said gently, even though you will not step foot 134 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 3: in it, I have allowed you to see it. The 135 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 3: setting sun painted the sky a deep orange, The land 136 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 3: was golden. A strong breeze galloped across the plains up 137 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 3: towards the mountain and blew Moses's hair back. He could 138 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 3: not take his eyes off Canaan. Since that infamous day 139 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 3: he met God as a burning bush, Moses had dreamed 140 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 3: of the day he would finally see it, the land 141 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 3: flowing with milk and honey. Tears fell from Moses's cheeks. 142 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 3: He smiled and continued to look towards the countryside. As 143 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 3: the golden rays dimmed below the horizon, Moses breathed his 144 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 3: last breath and was joined with God for all eternity. 145 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 3: The people mourned and looked to Joshua for guidance, and 146 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 3: God blessed Joshua and filled him with a courageous spirit. 147 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 3: Thus the days of Moses came to a close. The 148 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 3: man God had chosen to lead his people out of 149 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 3: captivity had died. One day, a leader greater than Moses 150 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 3: would lead God's children out of captivity from their sin. 151 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 3: The sting of Death would split in half, just as 152 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 3: the Red Sea. He would be the greater Moses. So 153 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 3: Israel waited hundreds of years until his arrival. 154 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 4: We open today's story with Moses, who is now one 155 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 4: hundred and twenty years old. He has lived under the 156 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 4: discipline of God because he spoke to the rock angrily 157 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 4: and took credit for the water that flowed. God said, 158 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 4: you will never enter the Promised Land. And yet God 159 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 4: extended grace and peace to Moses in the final days 160 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 4: of his life. And though he would never enter the 161 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 4: Land of Promise, God would show Moses the land that 162 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,719 Speaker 4: he would give to Israel. Moses served God faithfully for decades, 163 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 4: leading a stiff necked people with both strength and humility. 164 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 4: God tells him he'll soon join his brother Aaron and 165 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 4: all of his people who had gone before him. Death, 166 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 4: after all, is an open door to heaven to all 167 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 4: who trust in the Lord God through Jesus Christ. Even 168 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 4: in these final days, moses chief concern is for the 169 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 4: people and who will shepherd them. Moses wanted to be 170 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 4: sure they were taken care of when he was gone, 171 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 4: and not left to go astray, as he knew they would. 172 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 4: God reveals to Moses who his leader will be. It 173 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 4: is the same one, the same man who set outside 174 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 4: the tent of meeting even as others went back to camp. 175 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 4: It is the same man who believed God to take 176 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 4: the Promised Land along with Caleb when the Spies entered 177 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 4: into the land. It was the same man who led 178 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 4: their first battle against the Amalekites. Yes, this man is 179 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 4: none other than Joshua. God tells Moses to call Joshua 180 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 4: and bless him and commission him before Eliezar, the priest 181 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 4: and the whole congregation of Israel. Moses, who is barely 182 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 4: able to keep himself upright, then addresses his flock one 183 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 4: last time. He has so much to remind them of 184 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 4: all of God's commandments, the laws for living as God's 185 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 4: holy people. He recounts the stories of God's faithfulness over 186 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 4: many years and countless challenges and campaigns. The final chapters 187 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 4: of Numbers and most of Deuteronomy record his words. Then, 188 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 4: in Deuteronomy thirty verses fifteen and sixteen, Moses says this, 189 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 4: see I have set before you today life and prosperity, 190 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 4: and death and adversity. In that I command you today 191 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 4: to love the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, 192 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 4: and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, 193 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 4: that you may live and multiply, and that God may 194 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 4: bless you in the land where you are entering to 195 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,959 Speaker 4: possess it. These are the greatest rewards for obeying God. 196 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 4: If they choose obedience, they will experience fullness of life. 197 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 4: Blessing and God's hand of provision and protection. Think about 198 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 4: it because the same is true for us. Of course, 199 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 4: it doesn't mean that we will live our lives without 200 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 4: adversity or hardship. But what we know because of the 201 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 4: promises of God is that God's ways are higher and 202 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 4: better than our ways, and his way always leads to 203 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 4: abundant life and blessing. But there is the other side. 204 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 4: Moses warns the people that if they turn from God 205 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 4: and follow other gods, false gods, they will perish. They 206 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 4: are to keep God's commands close to their hearts. This 207 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 4: is a powerful, powerful encouragement to you and me to 208 00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 4: stay in God's word daily and obey him. Then spoke 209 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 4: to Joshua the words he would keep close to his 210 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 4: heart for years to come. Be strong and courageous. Joshua 211 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 4: was taking on a task that would require strength and 212 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 4: courage in the face of great fear. But as Moses 213 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 4: also reminded Joshua, God would be with him and go 214 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 4: before him. God's faithful servant knew it was time to go. 215 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 4: God took him to the top of Mountain Nebo and 216 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 4: showed Moses the land that he would give to Israel. 217 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 4: God's grace and kindness shown through Moses one more time 218 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 4: before he took his final rest and joined his heavenly father. 219 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 4: Dear God, how we thank you for the story of Moses. 220 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 4: What a life, a life of example in leadership and service, 221 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 4: one of the greatest men who ever lived because he 222 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 4: was your man. May we follow his example of humility 223 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 4: and strength in our lives and look to you in 224 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 4: obedience and help us to be strong and courageous always 225 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 4: as we follow you no matter what.
