About this listen

In this in-depth Bible study through Deuteronomy chapter 18, we examine Moses' instruction to Israel on the Plains of Moab as they stand on the brink of entering the Promised Land. This chapter addresses two major themes: God's provision for the Levites and priests, and God's strict prohibition against pagan spiritual practices, contrasted with His promise to raise up a Prophet like Moses. We begin by setting the historical context—Israel's wilderness journey, their position east of the Jordan River, and the structure of the Levitical cities. From there, the study walks verse-by-verse through Deuteronomy 18, explaining: • Why the tribe of Levi received no land inheritance • How God provided for priests and Levites through offerings • The purpose of scattering Levites among the tribes • God's condemnation of divination, witchcraft, necromancy, and false spiritual guidance • Why these practices were an "abomination" to the Lord • The contrast between pagan attempts at spiritual knowledge and God's ordained revelation The study then focuses closely on Deuteronomy 18:15–19, where Moses foretells that God will raise up a Prophet like unto himself. Using Scripture to interpret Scripture, this lesson traces that prophecy through: John 1 John 7 Acts 3 showing clearly how the New Testament identifies Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of this promise—the perfect Mediator between God and man, whom all are commanded to hear. This is a doctrinal, historical, and Christ-centered Bible study designed to help believers understand: God's holiness in worship The danger of unauthorized spiritual practices The authority of Christ as God's final and sufficient revelation
