DEUTERONOMY 30

1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither Yahweh thy Elohim hath driven thee,

2 And shalt return unto Yahweh thy Elohim, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;

3 That then Yahweh thy Elohim will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither Yahweh thy Elohim hath scattered thee.

4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will Yahweh thy Elohim gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:

5 And Yahweh thy Elohim will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

6 And Yahweh thy Elohim will circumcise thine heart [lev], and the heart [lev] of thy seed [zera], to love Yahweh thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul [bekhol levavcha uvekhol nafshecha], that thou mayest live.

God's claim on human love and obedience is so reasonable, and so beneficent in its operations; and its repudiation is so destructive of every good and noble feature in life that no enforcement of it can be too stringent. But there is a plan of beneficence in all the confusion.

Out of the chaos will come shining order and joy. The Gospel of the Kingdom is the announcement of this. But triumph will not come except with the triumph of the principle, overthrown at the beginning - the principle of God's supremacy. To this principle we have yielded ourselves willing captives. To this principle, let us continue in devoted and unwearying subjection; and ours will at last be the unspeakable joy of beholding its unchallenged and irresistible ascendancy in the great and long-promised day of its earth-filling glory.

Bro Roberts  - 'That God shall be sanctified'

7 And Yahweh thy Elohim will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.

8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of Yahweh, and do all his commandments [mitzvot] which I command thee this day.

...though the Law of Moses ended in Christ, as a ground of justification unto life eternal, its national purpose is not yet wholly fulfilled. With Israel's restoration from long dispersion, it will come into force again in an amended form, as a means and medium of that happy, holy, beautiful, and acceptable national service which Israel will render in the day when Yahweh will "bind up the stroke of his people and heal the stroke of their wound", This we learn on the joint testimony of Moses and Ezekiel, and other prophets. 

By Ezekiel God says: "In my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things. I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen (the nations)"

The visions of God go further than this by the same prophet at the close of his book. In the last nine chapters, we have a detailed description of the new settlement of the land, and the new city of service about 40 miles in circumference, and the new temple, of gigantic capacity, in which, "from one new moon to another and from one sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship before God" (Isa. 66:23). 

In this description, we recognize many features of the Law of Moses restored :--The burnt offering, the sin offering, the drink offering, and the trespass offering (40:39; 43:18-25; 45:17, 22-25; 46:4-7); the altar (verse 46); the most holy place (41:4); the cherubim (verse 18); the meat offering, the priests and holy garments (42:13-14); sprinkling of blood (43:18-20); burning of the bullock (verse 21); offering of the fat and the blood (44:15); defiling by the dead (verses 25, 26); offering of the first fruits (verse 30); observance of the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month (45:21); keeping of the feasts, the new moons, and the sabbaths (verse 17); and so on.

With this agree the general allusions of the other prophets, of which a complete list of instances would be very long. Let the following illustrations suffice: "All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory" (Isa. 60:7). "Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein" (Zech. 14:21). "Then shall the offering of Jerusalem and Judah be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years" (Mal. 3:4). "The daughter of my dispersed shall bring mine offering" (Zeph. 3:10).

The fact that the Law of Moses is suspended during the absence of Christ from the earth, and while his body is being developed by the faith and obedience of the Gospel, does not interfere with the testified purpose of God to restore it; as the rule of Israel's obedience in the happy day of the return of His favour to them.

Law of Moses Ch 33

9 And Yahweh thy Elohim [Eloheicha] will make thee plenteous [abound] in every work of thine hand, in the fruit [pri] of thy body [adamah], and in the fruit [pri ] of thy cattle [animals], and in the fruit [pri ] of thy land, for good [tovah]: for Yahweh will again rejoice over thee for good [tov], as He rejoiced over thy fathers [Avoteicha]:

The law of the feasts will therefore again become the law of the land (the Passover, the first fruits, and the in-gathering). A joyous and wholesome system of periodical and collective travel will again come into vogue among the populations inhabiting the happy land of promise in the day of restoration.

God will be known among them, from the least to the greatest, and intercourse to them will be a joy that is not possible in the present state of things. But the beauty of the feasts will not be confined to Israel's land.

"Many nations shall be joined unto the Lord in that day,"

and the law is to "go forth" to them with no ineffectual result: for they shall say,

"Let us go up to the house of the Elohim of Jacob, and He shall teach us of His ways and we shall walk in His paths."

We shall therefore see the whole earth taking part in the happy life springing from the Lord's land. Plenty will be among the nations as in Israel, and with the plenty righteousness and wisdom will blend, finding gladsome public expression at recurring periodic seasons, differing as much from the holidays of British life, as the Kingdom of God will differ from the present evil world.

Seasons 2.39

10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy Elohim, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto Yahweh thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.

12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;

16 In that I command thee this day to love Yahweh thy Elohim, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and Yahweh thy Elohim shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;

18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.

19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

20 That thou mayest love Yahweh thy Elohim, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
