608 - The Song of Moses Part-4

The Song of Moses Part-4

“…Israel is a senseless nation; the people are foolish, without understanding. 

Oh, that they were wise …and could understand this! 

Oh, that they might know their fate! 

How could one person chase a thousand of them, …and how could two people put ten thousand to flight, …unless their Rock had sold them, …unless the Lord had given them up? 

But the rock of our enemies is not like our Rock, …as even they recognize. 

Their vine grows from the vine of Sodom, from the vineyards of Gomorrah. 

Their grapes are poison, and their clusters are bitter. 

Their wine is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras. 

“The Lord says, ‘Am I not storing up these things, sealing them away in My treasury? 

I will take revenge; I will pay them back. 

In due time, their feet will slip. 

Their day of disaster will arrive, and their destiny will overtake them.’ 

“Indeed, the Lord will give justice to His people, and He will change His mind about His servants when He sees that their strength is gone and no one is left, …slave or free. 

Then, He will ask, ‘Where are their gods, the rocks, to whom they fled to for refuge? 

Where, now, are those gods, …the gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their offerings? 

Let those gods arise and help you! 

Let them provide you with shelter! 

Deuteronomy 32:28–38 (NLT)

Praise be to God!

Moses Chooses Seventy Leaders

​ Moses Chooses Seventy Leaders The Lord said to Moses,  “Gather before Me …seventy men, who are recognized, as elders and leaders of Israel.  Bring them to the Tabernacle, to stand there with you.  I will come down and talk to you there.  I will take some of the Spirit …that is upon you, and I will put this Spirit, upon them.  They will bear the burden, of the people, along with you, so you will not have to carry it alone.  “And say to the people,  ‘Purify yourselves, for tomorrow you will have meat to eat.  You were whining, and the Lord heard you when you cried…  “Oh, for some meat!  We were better off in Egypt!”  Now the Lord will give you meat, and you will have to eat it.  And it won’t be for just a day …or two, or for five, or ten, or even twenty.  You will eat it for a whole month until you gag and are sick of it.  For you have rejected the Lord, Who is here among you, and you have whined to Him, saying,  “Why did we ever leave Egypt?” ’ ”  But Moses responded to the Lord,  “Th

1046 - Israel Celebrates Passover

Israel Celebrates Passover When everything was ready for the Passover celebration, the priests and the Levites took their places, organized by their divisions, as the king had commanded.  The Levites then slaughtered the Passover lambs …and presented the blood to the priests, who sprinkled the blood on the altar, while the Levites prepared the animals.  They divided the burnt offerings, among the people, by their family groups, so they could offer them to the Lord, as prescribed, in the Book of Moses.  They did the same with the cattle.  Then, they roasted the Passover lambs, as prescribed; and they boiled the holy offerings… in pots, kettles, and pans, …and they brought them out quickly, so the people could eat them.  Afterward, the Levites prepared Passover offerings, for themselves and for the priests—the descendants of Aaron—because the priests had been busy, from morning till night, offering the burnt offerings, and the fat portions.  The Levites took responsibility for all these
