Nitzavim (Standing) D’varim/Deuteronomy 29:9 – 30:20
FOCUS:
D’varim/
Deuteronomy 30
One would have thought
that the threatening in the close of the foregoing chapter had made a full end
of the people of Israel, and had left their case for ever desperate; but in this
chapter we have a plain intimation of the mercy God had in store for them in the
latter days, so that mercy at length rejoices against judgment, and has the last
word. Here we have,
I.
Exceedingly great and precious promises made to
them, upon their repentance and return to God (Deu_30:1-10).
II.
The righteousness of faith set before them in the
plainness and easiness of the commandment that was now given them (Deu_30:11-14).
III.
A fair reference of the whole matter to their
choice (Deu_30:15,
etc.).
