Ministers and Prophets

Deuteronomy 18:1-22

November 7, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • Deuteronomy 18

Give

YeHoVaH set Israel apart from all the nations in the earth to be unto Him a Kingdom of Priests, and an Holy Nation. His plan for Israel as a Nation and Kingdom of Priests was first revealed to Abraham, the first to be called a Hebrew and a Prophet.

As a set apart Holy Nation, birthed during Passover, the first to be set apart, among the set apart, was the firstborn male. The institution of the Priests to minister unto YeHoVaH instead of the firstborn and the role of the Prophet to speak for YeHoVaH have everlasting significance in millennia.

YeHoVaH’s Laws are Commandments of compassion that addressed various aspects and the conduct of community life for the nation maintaining justice, assuring that lawbreakers were punished and that those obedient to His Law prospered. In this portion of Deuteronomy, YeHoVaH gives Instructions for atoning for unsolved murder and marrying foreign women captured in war. Further Instructions are given for dealing with the firstborn sons of a polygamous marriage and the stubborn and rebellious son who disobeys his parents. The Chapter concludes with rules pertaining to death by hanging.

Attitudes, pertaining to maintaining peace, safety, the people’s ability to enjoy the bounties of YeHoVaH’s deliverance from Egypt, and their prosperity in the Promised Land is at the forefront of this extraordinary Chapter. In Israel’s preparation for going to war against their enemies, certain Instructions of exclusions were given to certain individuals in certain categories based on YeHoVaH’s Promises.

Asylum Cities and Justice

December 5, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • Deuteronomy 19

YeHoVaH established the holy nation of Israel to be a just society with righteous decrees and Laws that set them apart from all other nations. To maintain Israel as a just society, enforcing the Laws was paramount to assure that those who violated the Law were punished accordingly and those who obeyed the Law were protected. Embedded in the Law of YeHoVaH were provisions for accidental crimes or unintentional violations and how to handle those matters justly. This passage deals with such a matter.
