How did Moses get so many followers?
Question: Who were the likely authors of Deuteronomy? What are their main arguments?
The author was Moses
The book covers the administration of the Nation in the wilderness and afterwards, with many details of the administration detail of all Israel.
It records its rebellions and behaviours against Moses and Aaron, their successes and failures in battle, their tendency to Idolatry, God’s Laws repeatedly reviewed and stressed, particularly 6:4!
It is repeated that they are a “chosen people”, with the particularly expected duties and adherence to behaviours towards their God!
It expresses the blessings for obedience and the condemnations for opposition!
There is the moving prophecy of Messiah in v.18:15 which the present Orthodox Jews insist is proof of Jesus being a fake, as they insist that their messiah must be of human stock, not Divine, completely ignoring Gen. 3:15! This latter point is why in Acts 28:25–28 the prophecy of Isa. 6:9–10 is pronounced by Paul; which most Churches miss, and therefore their teaching is not accurate, which causes much confusion with sincere Christians!
Question: Hebrews 8:6 and 13. What do these Scriptures mean?
Moses was the “type” of Christ Jesus (Acts 3:22).
Heb. 8 and 13 refer to the “New Covenant”, which Jesus referred to at the “Last Supper” (Luke 22:20 & 1Cor. 11:25).
Israel has yet to accept Jesus as their Messiah, which will happen when Zech. 12:10 is reached.
Between Christ’s Resurrection and His return, all who take His great Salvation, are part of His Body!
The Body of Christ Jesus:
There is a clear divide between the Body, and the Bride of Christ. That division is at Acts 28:25-28, and is a direct consequence of the failure of Israel to acknowledge and accept Christ Jesus as Messiah of Jehovah God.
