Everything was changing; it was a new season, a new time, and a new era.
In Deuteronomy chapters 5 and 6, Moses called the people of Israel together for his farewell address. Moses was primarily speaking to a new generation, a generation that had been born and raised in the wilderness. Because he knew he would soon die, he was preparing them to move forward and strengthening them to enter and possess the Promised Land without him.
In these chapters of Deuteronomy, Moses was activating the people by instructing them to ‘prepare for change and get ready for transition!’
Moses faithfully explained God’s covenant to this new generation by telling them to, “Listen… to the Laws which I speak in your hearing today. Learn them and be careful to live by them!”
Moses was equipping the Hebrews so they could occupy their Promised Land and fulfill their destiny. Everything he said was based on the understanding that this generation must continue moving forward and be fully equipped to enter into destiny. They had to be readied, prepared, and empowered to go on without his leadership.
