Episode 1: The Final Instructions Begin – Setting the Stage in Deuteronomy In this opening lesson, Elder Jonathan Moseley introduces the book of Deuteronomy and walks through the first chapter verse by verse. We pick up right near the end of Israel's 40 years in the wilderness—just across the Jordan River from the Promised Land. Moses, now 120 years old, is giving his final instructions to a new generation. In this chapter, he recounts their journey, the failure to enter the land the first time, the Lord's judgment, and His mercy in preserving a remnant. This lesson helps set the stage for the entire book. We'll look at timelines, geography, and key people—along with the spiritual lessons Israel needed to learn before they could go forward. Open your Bible and follow along as we begin this walk through Deuteronomy, a book full of reminders, warnings, and hope.
