Sunrise on Temple Mount in Jerusalem; Back to Previous Devotion

February 29 - Morning

" When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees"

- Deuteronomy 17:18-19

Reading and Writing Grows into Following    

The original copy of the covenant/treaty was deposited in the tabernacle where the priests could access it and read it to the people (Deuteronomy 31:9:24-26). This was the standard protocol at this time in history (1400 BC) for a covenant (vassal treaty) like this.

When a new king took the throne to rule God’s covenant nation Israel, the King was to obtain his own copy of the covenant and read it frequently. The priests were to retrieve the original document from the tabernacle and take it to the king for him to write his own copy of the law. When he is finished writing out his own copy, then the original is to be placed back in the tabernacle, but the king is to keep and read his copy all the days of his life. (Notice that in 1400 BC it was assumed the King of Israel could read and write!)

The reason is given for having all the kings read their copy of the covenant. It is “so that he may learn to revere the Lord” and “follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees.” By reading these Words of God the kings of Israel would “learn” and they would “follow.” The reading and understanding of the Word of God always produces results such as daily “following” the Lord.

  Christian Quote from Church History

Hebrew and Greek Word Study   Facts and Information

Nusar (Hb) – Instruction (Eng) – nusar is the Hebrew word for “instruction,” “chastisement,”
and “warning.” In Proverbs 24:32 nusar communicates the lesson to the
wise man before he is tempted and tested.

 

Luke's account of the 56 AD riot (Acts 19:23-41) that broke out in Ephesus when the silversmiths revolted due the decline in the sale of silver shrines of Artemis caused by the success of Paul's teaching about Jesus agrees with archaeology, linguistics and history on several levels:

1. The 525 foot agora had a bronze inscription mentioning Augustus, Tiberius and the goddess Artemis.
2. In the prytaneion, or "town hall" three statues of Artemis were found.
3. The grammateus, or "State Clerk," resided in the prytaneion. In Acts 19:35 the grammateus "city clerk" quieted and spoke to the mob and then dismissed them
4 . In Acts 19:31 some of Paul's friends who were "officials of the province, or Asiarchai, begged Paul not to enter the theater. The Asiarchai were political figures with wealth and power. These men were the most powerful men in Asia who were elected by the citizens from the wealthy aristocrats and were expected to personally finance public games and festivals. Strabo refers to them and inscriptions of Asiarch's have been found in over forty Asian cities.

From this information we see that the wealthy and powerful aristocrats tended to befriend and support Paul, while the superstitious labors revolted against him because they lost business when the sale of Artemis idols declined.

     
Confession to Action   Facts and Information
Do I understand that God's power supplies the provisions that
I need and the fruit I am to produce? 
I will trust God and look to him to provide the strength and fruit
I desire to manifest in my life.

    but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth." - Proverbs 29:3
