Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 5:8-18

When Judah, one of the 12 covenant sons of Jacob, was about 15 years old, he took the daughter of Shua, of the race of the Canaanites, to be his wife. She was descended from the murderer Cain. He had three sons with her. They were three mongrel sons that were forbidden to enter the congregation of Israel. Their names were:

1. Er: Named by Judah,
2. Onan: Named by his Canaanite wife, and
3. Shelah: Named by his Canaanite wife.

Judah had broken God’s 7th commandment. To make matters worse, Judah got a pure Israelite woman, Tamar, to be the bride of his first mongrel son. The book of Jasher says that Tamar was the daughter of Elam, who was the son of Shem. Judah probably lied to Elam about his wife or Elam wouldn’t have given her to be Er’s wife.

Er was about 15 years old; Judah about 30 or 31 when the two were brought together for marriage. But Er was wicked in the sight of the LORD because he would not consummate his marriage with Tamar, therefore the LORD slew him. So Er died childless, and Tamar was a widow.

Scripture Reading Deuteronomy 5:2-3

Last week we discussed who is the advisor to our president, Donald Trump, on religious matters, who is the person that prayed at his inauguration and advises him on his decisions that affect the world of the religious realm.

Couldn’t he find anyone who would be a better choice than her? At the rate the world is traveling upside down, the pope will soon be a woman. But like it was in the days of Elijah, one would have to look long and hard to find a true man of God. Most preachers are Baal preachers. Paula White-Cain is just one of many false prophets.

They are universalists, Roman Catholic in their theology. They believe that the Israelites of the Bible are jews, and that the jews are the covenant people of God. Most don’t know that the Ashkenazi jews are descended from a branch that is not from the person of Shem. Therefore, they are not Semitic. They make up slightly over 90% of all jews today. That is according to jewish records and books. It is impossible for the Ashkenazi jews to be at least partly descended from Jacob unless they have intermarried with a descendant of Jacob.

“When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him” (Matthew 2:3).

Dictionary:

Misgiving: qualm, doubt, reservation; suspicion; (misgivings) distrust, mistrust, lack of confidence, second thoughts; trepidation, skepticism, unease, uneasiness, anxiety, apprehension.

Probably most devout and sincere Christians, at least some time in their life, have had second thoughts about Christmas being the birth of Jesus, the Christ child. And, for good reason, things like: commercialism, pagan customs, and the catholic mass. But, that is a different subject.

God’s enemies had some anxieties about the birth of our Savior. King Herod certainly was suspicious of a prophesied king out of Bethlehem. And, he set out to kill the baby. Even all of Jerusalem had a sense of uneasiness about the prospect of a new king coming to perhaps interfere with their choice of lifestyle. Did the people of Jerusalem love their sins too much?

Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 4:32-38

Moses’ farewell address to Israel. Moses starts off by asking a question, Has anyone ever seen such a thing as has happened to you? You are now alive, and yet you heard the voice of God speaking from the fire. Has anyone heard God speaking audibly to them as a nation? For example: Have the Chinese ever in their history heard God speak from a fire to them? Have the Indians? Have the Hispanics? Have the Negroes?

The only nation who has ever had this happen was the nation of Israelites at Mt. Sinai. What do you think that God said to His people at this time? It was really His wedding proposal!  But besides this happening, has any other nation been taken from another nation? Israel was taken out of Egypt, just four generations from the covenant that the LORD God made with their fathers.

It is depressing to live in an age where Christianity is so corrupt that it makes those who know the whole truth of the Bible feel like Elijah. To Elijah, it appeared that he was alone in preaching the whole counsel of God. Today it is the same – most churches do not preach all that is found in the Bible. How can a Christian identify a false church? Surely, any real Christian attempting to serve God would not want to be in a false church. There are some signs that can indicate if an alleged church is fake. I will start with the least sign to the most sure sign that can help us identify a false church. Sadly, most churches today have all of these problems. But for the sake of study, let us examine each of these characteristics separately.

Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 3:1-5:

Continuing on in the study of Deuteronomy ... Moses was giving the Israelites their history over the last 40 or so years. They had just completed the victory over Sihon, king of the Amorites, and destroyed him and his people. He then tells of the battle with king Og. He tells of seven things that happened:

1. The LORD God delivered king Og into the hands of Israel with all his people. God was the one who gave Israel their victory; it was not Israel on their own who defeated king Og. All people of the earth were not equal in the eyes of God. His covenant people were His elect. Other races were fit for destruction.
2. Israel smote Og until there was none remaining. Israel, under their God’s orders, committed genocide.
3. Israel took all his cities, being 60 walled cities, many villages, and unwalled towns.
4. Israel destroyed all of the individuals in Og’s kingdom—men, women, and children as Israel did the Amorites under king Sihon.
5. Israel took all the cattle, and the spoil of all the cities and villages as a spoil to themselves.
6. Israel took from these two kings (Sihon and Og) all the land along the river Jordan from the Arnon River on the south to mount Hermon on the north, which was beyond the Sea of Galilee.
7. Israel took all the cities of the plains, all of Gilead, and all of Bashan.
8. Israel gave all this land to half the tribe of Manasseh, all the tribe of Gad and all the tribe of Reuben.
9. Israel camped at Beth-peor.

Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 1:6-8

Last Sunday we studied the introduction to the whole book of Deuteronomy, the first five verses. These five verses previewed the words that Moses spoke and wrote to all Israel just before his death and their entrance into the territory west of the Jordan River where the other Canaanite nations lived. This entire book was spoken by Moses 40 years and ten and one-half months after the Exodus of Israel from Egypt. And Moses was forty-five years older than I am right now—he was 120 years old! It was his birthday. And when he finished his speech (ended the book), he died.

The book of Deuteronomy is Moses’ farewell address to his people. What do you think he told the Israel people before he died? Moses had led the people into two mighty successful campaigns against Sihon and Og. They had annihilated all the strangers who lived on the eastern part of the Jordan River. This territory was given to 2½ tribes. The remaining 9½ tribes were to be given land not yet conquered. The land was on the other side of the river. Moses was to die that day, so he would have to tell them who their leader would be that they should follow after he was gone.

The book was written and spoken about 1645 B.C., in the plains of Moab by the Jordan River near Jericho, just before their miraculous entrance into Canaan. The name of the book, Deuteronomy, means Second Law, because it records the repetition of the 10 commandments. It contains the parting counsels of Moses to Israel in view of:

Compiled by James Jester

The Christogenea Hymnal contains 108 traditional hymns, topical index, alphabetical index, an Appendix which contains two articles, “What is Christian Identity?” and “Model Prayers.” The prayers and hymns in the back will be a great resource for church or for family worship time.

This compilation of hymns relies heavily upon the post-Reformation period. There are hymns traditionally known as Methodist, Baptist, or Lutheran hymns. Now there are hymns that will come to be known as Christian Identity hymns, such as, “O Israel Awaken,” or “Jerusalem” (The Glastonbury Hymn), or “God’s Covenant People.

Many of the hymns will be familiar to most Christians regardless of their religious background; however, there will be some hymns you have never heard of before, until now.
