Deuteronomy 4:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Deuteronomy 4:5

3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did at ^aBaal Peor; for the Lord your God has destroyed from among you all the men who followed Baal of Peor.

4 But you who held fast to the Lord your God are alive today, every one of you.

5 “Surely I have taught you statutes and judgments, just as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should act according to them in the land which you go to possess.

6 Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is ^ayour wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’

7 “For ^awhat great nation is there that has ^bGod so near to it, as the Lord our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him?

8 And what great nation is there that has such statutes and righteous judgments as are in all this law which I set before you this day?

9 Only take heed to yourself, and diligently ^akeep yourself, lest you ^bforget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And ^cteach them to your children and your grandchildren,

10 especially concerning ^athe day you stood before the Lord your God in Horeb, when the Lord said to me, ‘Gather the people to Me, and I will let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.’

Deuteronomy 4:5-8

These people who teach these things, like saying the Jews, the Israelites, are required by God to keep the law but the Gentiles are not, would have you believe that God's law is evil. We have just read God's own testimony, His witness of what He thinks about His law, and what Israel should think about it as well.

Deuteronomy 4:5-8

You can look in Deuteronomy 4:5-8 where it shows very clearly it was going to be their obedience to the Torah, the Word of God, the law of God, the instruction or teaching of God by which Israel became a manifestation, a witness, a banner, a sign, or a standard that others were to rally around.

Deuteronomy 4:5-8

I brought this up to show you that God is what made the law righteous, and therefore the lives of the Israelites could be conformed to this standard, and they could become righteous. And under the Old Covenant, it is simply fulfilling your obligations under that covenant.

Please turn over to Deuteronomy 4:5-8, where Moses tells our forebears how they were to model His law to the Gentile nations with whom they would interface and hopefully positively influence.
