Don\u2019t add a word to what I command you, and don\u2019t remove a word from it. Keep the commands of God, your God, that I am commanding you. 3-4You saw with your own eyes what God did at Baal Peor, how God destroyed from among you every man who joined in the Baal Peor orgies. But you, the ones who held tight to God, your God, are alive and well, every one of you, today. 5-6Pay attention: I\u2019m teaching you the rules and regulations that God commanded me, so that you may live by them in the land you are entering to take up ownership. Keep them. Practice them. You\u2019ll become wise and understanding. When people hear and see what\u2019s going on, they\u2019ll say, \u201cWhat a great nation! So wise, so understanding! We\u2019ve never seen anything like it.\u201d 7-8Yes. What other great nation has gods that are intimate with them the way God, our God, is with us, always ready to listen to us? And what other great nation has rules and regulations as good and fair as this Revelation that I\u2019m setting before you today? 9Just make sure you stay alert. Keep close watch over yourselves. Don\u2019t forget anything of what you\u2019ve seen. Don\u2019t let your heart wander off. Stay vigilant as long as you live. Teach what you\u2019ve seen and heard to your children and grandchildren. 10That day when you stood before God, your God, at Horeb, God said to me, \u201cAssemble the people in my presence to listen to my words so that they will learn to fear me in holy fear for as long as they live on the land, and then they will teach these same words to their children.\u201d 11-13You gathered. You stood in the shadow of the mountain. The mountain was ablaze with fire, blazing high into the very heart of Heaven. You stood in deep darkness and thick clouds. God spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of words but you saw nothing\u2014no form, only a voice. He announced his covenant, the Ten Words, by which he commanded you to live. Then he wrote them down on two slabs of stone. 14And God commanded me at that time to teach you the rules and regulations that you are to live by in the land which you are crossing over the Jordan to possess. 15-20You saw no form on the day God spoke to you at Horeb from out of the fire. Remember that. Carefully guard yourselves so that you don\u2019t turn corrupt and make a form, carving a figure that looks male or female, or looks like a prowling animal or a flying bird or a slithering snake or a fish in a stream. And also carefully guard yourselves so that you don\u2019t look up into the skies and see the sun and moon and stars, all the constellations of the skies, and be seduced into worshiping and serving them. God set them out for everybody\u2019s benefit, everywhere. But you\u2014God took you right out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to become the people of his inheritance\u2014and that\u2019s what you are this very day. 21-22But God was angry with me because of you and the things you said. He swore that I\u2019d never cross the Jordan, never get to enter the good land that God, your God, is giving you as an inheritance. This means that I am going to die here. I\u2019m not crossing the Jordan. But you will cross; you\u2019ll possess the good land. 23-24So stay alert. Don\u2019t for a minute forget the covenant which God, your God, made with you. And don\u2019t take up with any carved images, no forms of any kind\u2014God, your God, issued clear commands on that. God, your God, is not to be trifled with\u2014he\u2019s a consuming fire, a jealous God. 25-28When the time comes that you have children and grandchildren, put on years, and start taking things for granted, if you then become corrupt and make any carved images, no matter what their form, by doing what is sheer evil in God\u2019s eyes and provoking his anger\u2014I can tell you right now, with Heaven and Earth as witnesses, that it will be all over for you. You\u2019ll be kicked off the land that you\u2019re about to cross over the Jordan to possess. Believe me, you\u2019ll have a very short stay there. You\u2019ll be ruined, completely ruined. God will scatter you far and wide; a few of you will survive here and there in the nations where God will drive you. There you can worship your homemade gods to your hearts\u2019 content, your wonderful gods of wood and stone that can\u2019t see or hear or eat or smell. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXVUZ2hiVWZaTV9SeGJwRkI0N1NyZGlIT3VoZ3xBQ3Jtc0trU1JXczJua0FDbHlGaWhVZmJsdkxEZE9zclNYb1BOZzhOc25oVlNib1FHeHktaHFDQXpvRFh5ejZFRUo2UGdFLWdNb2VGNXNqTmVfZmZfa1o3TjNqb090ejZsS3E0cmpEVkhVYWpKbDNhMmF1YjR4Zw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ftemtube.com%2F\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/temtube.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deuteronomy 4 1-2Now listen, Israel, listen carefully to the rules and regulations that I am teaching you to follow so that you may live and enter and take possession of the land that God, the God-of-Your-Fathers, is giving to you.
