This video provides a commentary on Deuteronomy chapter 29. The speaker notes that there is a separate covenant God made with the tribes of Manasseh, Gad, and Reuben regarding the land they would possess on the east side of the Jordan River, which was not part of the original covenant at Horeb or Sinai.A key point of the commentary is the problem with the nation of Israel, as stated in Deuteronomy 29:4: "yet to this day the Lord has not given you a heart to know nor eyes to see nor ears to hear". The speaker relates this to 1 Corinthians 2:14, explaining that a "natural man" cannot understand the things of God without the Holy Spirit. The video suggests that some of the Israelites at that time were regenerated, but many were not, leading to future problems.The commentary then moves to Deuteronomy 29:19, which warns against a stubborn individual who boasts of having peace even while walking in disobedience. The speaker describes this as a "sad commentary" on a person whose conscience is not bothered by their sin. For such individuals, verse 20 states that God "will never forgive them" and will "blot his name out from under heaven".Finally, the video highlights Deuteronomy 29:29, "The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever". The speaker interprets this as a command to focus on what God has revealed rather than obsessing over things we cannot understand, both for the people of Israel at the time and for Christians today.___The Three-Year Reading PlanSouthern View Chapel is an independent Bible church in Springfield, IL, committed to handling the Scriptures accurately through the exegetical teaching of God's Word.
