0:00.0	Reading our Bibles regularly can be a challenge, but we're all on this journey together.
0:05.8	We're praying that this podcast inspires you, helps you better understand God's word, and builds your faith.
0:12.2	This is Join the Journey with your host, Emma Daughter.
0:16.3	Thanks for joining. We're about to start the Book of Joshua, but before we do, I think it would
0:21.5	be helpful if we did a really quick overview of the book of Deuteronomy. You may have noticed
0:26.6	that our reading plan this year skips it. That's because we are only reading the historical
0:31.5	books of the Old Testament, or said differently, the books that move the story forward.
0:36.2	Deuteronomy, it's a little pause in between numbers and
0:39.0	Joshua. It's Moses's final words to Joshua and the Israelites as they're about to start moving
0:43.7	into their new home. And at its core, the book is a review. Moses is reminding the new generation
0:50.0	of Israelites of where their family has been, what they've committed to, and where they're
0:54.3	headed. In the Watermark Institute, we learned that Deuteronomy is organized into three
0:59.2	sermons of Moses, historical, legal, and prophetical. Again, that's where they've been, what they've
1:05.3	committed to, and where they're headed. So who wrote Deuteronomy? Well, it's the three sermons of Moses, and verse one says, or reads,
1:13.8	these are the words which Moses spoke. So most likely the author's Moses, however, Joshua or
1:19.3	someone else may have written the last chapter. And what's the purpose of Moses's message?
1:25.1	An article from God Questions puts it like this. A new generation of Israelites
1:29.8	was about to enter the promised land. This multitude, or this people, had not experienced the
1:35.2	miracle at the Red Sea or heard the law given at Sinai, and they were about to enter a new land
1:40.4	with many dangers and temptations. The book of Deuteronomy was given to remind them of God's
1:45.6	law and God's power. Again, remember, this generation of Israelites, they'd grown up wandering in
1:52.0	the wilderness. They hadn't seen all the miracles God had done when he freed the Israelites from slavery.
