"The Lord our God said to us at Horeb, “You have stayed long enough at this mountain. Break camp and advance into the hill country of the Amorites; go to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah, in the mountains, in the western foothills, in the Negev and along the coast, to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the Euphrates. See, I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of the land the Lord swore he would give to your fathers—to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—and to their descendants after them."
- Deuteronomy 1:6-8 |

Moses Addresses the Second Generation |
|
|
The book of Deuteronomy includes the words that Moses spoke to and wrote down for the second generation. Moses reviewed the forty years in the wilderness with them as they came out of the wilderness and camped east of the Jordan before they entered the Promised Land to begin the conquest their parents failed to do forty years before. Many of these people had never seen Egypt, but had been born in the wilderness. If everyone twenty years or older at the time of the failed conquest forty years before had died as the Lord swore they would, then there is no one except Moses, Joshua and Caleb older than sixty years old in the camp. Those who had been 0-20 years old at the time of the rebellion would now be 40-60 years old. These would remember Egypt from their childhood or their teenage years, but everyone 40 and under would have been born after the Exodus somewhere in the wilderness. The nation of Israel had become a generation of great faith and vitality!
This wilderness generation had grown up under the leadership of Moses, eating manna, living in a camp with God’s presence and daily hearing Moses' teaching. The book of Deuteronomy begins with Moses defining for them the borders of the land as God described it forty years earlier. This is the land that had been promised to them. It was the land promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Promised Land extends from the Negev in the south to the Euphrates in the north. (Map) |

Tertullian said this
in 210 AD:
“If the resurrection of the flesh is denied, a prime article of the faith is shaken…He, therefore, will not be a Christian who will deny this doctrine. For it is confessed by Christians.” |

Rhoizedon (Gr) – Noise (Eng) – rhoizedon is a Greek word that is translated as noise or roar. It comes from the Greek word rhoizos which means “the whistling of an arrow.” Rhoizedon then means more than just any “noise,” but a “rushing sound” such as an approaching arrow or a roaring flame. Peter uses rhoizedon in 2 Peter 3:10. |

A coin of Herod the Great from "year 3" of his reign includes an image of a helmet setting on a couch or table. It may be Herod's personal helmet set on display in Jerusalem after his successful conqueroring of Jerusalem, since the image of the helmet on the coin is flanked by palm leaves (symbols of victory) with
a star above.

Am I humble before the Lord?
Do I trust him and count on him and seek to understand him for my survival and success?
I will be like the wilderness generation who had been humbled and learned to trust the Lord. |

"Humility is the fear of the Lord;
its wages are riches and honor and life."
- Proverbs 22:4
