This very day you are crossing the Jordan to enter the land and oust nations that are much bigger and stronger than you are. You\u2019re going to find huge cities with sky-high fortress-walls and gigantic people, descendants of the Anakites\u2014you\u2019ve heard all about them; you\u2019ve heard the saying, \u201cNo one can stand up to an Anakite.\u201d 3Today know this: God, your God, is crossing the river ahead of you\u2014he\u2019s a consuming fire. He will destroy the nations, he will put them under your power. You will oust them and very quickly wipe them out, just as God promised you would. 4-5But when God pushes them out ahead of you, don\u2019t start thinking to yourselves, \u201cIt\u2019s because of all the good I\u2019ve done that God has brought me in here to dispossess these nations.\u201d Actually it\u2019s because of all the evil these nations have done. No, it\u2019s nothing good that you\u2019ve done, no record for decency that you\u2019ve built up, that got you here; it\u2019s because of the vile wickedness of these nations that God, your God, is dispossessing them before you so that he can keep his promised word to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 6-10Know this and don\u2019t ever forget it: It\u2019s not because of any good that you\u2019ve done that God is giving you this good land to own. Anything but! You\u2019re stubborn as mules. Keep in mind and don\u2019t ever forget how angry you made God, your God, in the wilderness. You\u2019ve kicked and screamed against God from the day you left Egypt until you got to this place, rebels all the way. You made God angry at Horeb, made him so angry that he wanted to destroy you. When I climbed the mountain to receive the slabs of stone, the tablets of the covenant that God made with you, I stayed there on the mountain forty days and nights: I ate no food; I drank no water. Then God gave me the two slabs of stone, engraved with the finger of God. They contained word for word everything that God spoke to you on the mountain out of the fire, on the day of the assembly. 11-12It was at the end of the forty days and nights that God gave me the two slabs of stone, the tablets of the covenant. God said to me, \u201cGet going, and quickly. Get down there, because your people whom you led out of Egypt have ruined everything. In almost no time at all they have left the road that I laid out for them and gone off and made for themselves a cast god.\u201d 13-14 God said, \u201cI look at this people and all I see are hardheaded, hardhearted rebels. Get out of my way now so I can destroy them. I\u2019m going to wipe them off the face of the map. Then I\u2019ll start over with you to make a nation far better and bigger than they could ever be.\u201d 15-17I turned around and started down the mountain\u2014by now the mountain was blazing with fire\u2014carrying the two tablets of the covenant in my two arms. That\u2019s when I saw it: There you were, sinning against God, your God\u2014you had made yourselves a cast god in the shape of a calf! So soon you had left the road that God had commanded you to walk on. I held the two stone slabs high and threw them down, smashing them to bits as you watched. 18-20Then I flung myself down before God, just as I had at the beginning of the forty days and nights. I ate no food; I drank no water. I did this because of you, all your sins, sinning against God, doing what is evil in God\u2019s eyes and making him angry. I was terrified of God\u2019s furious anger, his blazing anger. I was sure he would destroy you. But once again God listened to me. And Aaron! How furious he was with Aaron\u2014ready to destroy him. But I prayed also for Aaron at that same time. 21But that sin-thing that you made, that calf-god, I took and burned in the fire, pounded and ground it until it was crushed into a fine powder, then threw it into the stream that comes down the mountain. 22And then there was Camp Taberah (Blaze), Massah (Testing-Place), and Camp Kibroth Hattaavah (Graves-of-the-Craving)\u2014more occasions when you made God furious with you. 23-24The most recent was when God sent you out from Kadesh Barnea, ordering you: \u201cGo. Possess the land that I\u2019m giving you.\u201d And what did you do? You rebelled. Rebelled against the clear orders of God, your God. Refused to trust him. Wouldn\u2019t obey him. You\u2019ve been rebels against God from the first day I knew you. 25-26When I was on my face, stretched out before God those forty days and nights after God said he would destroy you, I prayed to God for you, \u201cMy Master, God, don\u2019t destroy your people, your inheritance whom, in your immense generosity, you redeemed, using your enormous strength to get them out of Egypt. 27-28\u201cRemember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; don\u2019t make too much of the stubbornness of this people, their evil and their sin, lest the Egyptians from whom you rescued them say, \u2018God couldn\u2019t do it; he got tired and wasn\u2019t able to take them to the land he promised them. He ended up hating them and dumped them in the wilderness to die.\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbVpjLTdaSkp0ajVHaFRhNkpic3hlak0ya1lMd3xBQ3Jtc0tsb1VHRldrV2dxNWZfdl9BTnRicy1uYVhuWUxhSmpKSXl1MEQ5RFI4WWktaHdYOTdPQjYxd3BKNUgxaFZia3JEbk52cmdEbmtydkJWajhsS1BfRnp5bVNjaDZmZHlSOFN4NnhRRUFXS2o0T3Rvcmdqcw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ftemtube.com%2F\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/temtube.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1-2Attention, Israel!
