February 27 - Evening
“It was not your children who saw what he did for you in the wilderness until you arrived at this place, and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened its mouth right in the middle of all Israel and swallowed them up with their households, their tents and every living thing that belonged to them. But it was your own eyes that
saw
all these great things the Lord has done.
Observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and take over the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, and so that you may live long in the land the Lord swore to your ancestors to give to them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.” -Deuteronomy 11:5-9 |

Moses is reviewing the events and the concepts that they have learned in the wilderness over the last forty years. Moses is repetitive and is speaking as a teacher who is drilling students with information for rote memory and to establish modus operandi or standard behavior procedure. Moses is establishing the “default” setting in the souls of this generation who will enter the Promised Land and defeat their enemies. Moses has been teaching the souls of these people verbally for forty years, while God taught them through situations of life.
Moses tells them “it was your own eyes that saw all these great things the Lord has done” and, also tells them, “observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today.” For forty years Israel has seen and heard the ways of the Lord.
If a generation today would ever take time to see what God was doing and at the same time hear the commands, or the decrees of Truth from God’s word, they too would be equipped for a great conquest. |

"In the presence of God there will be no idleness."
- Tertullian, 197 |
 |
| The Sinlessness of Christ is necessary for our salvation. If Christ had not been without blemish he would have needed a savior himself. Jesus was born and lived completely free from any transgression. Jesus had desires (hunger, friendship, etc.), but he had no sinful desires. The sinlessness of Christ is necessary for our salvation. (Matt.3:14-15; Rom.5:18-21; 2 Cor.5:21; Heb.7:26; 1 Pet.3:18) |

Coins of Herod Archelaus
A Galley (ship) commemorates Herod Archelaus’ voyage to Rome at the start of his reign to secure his position as king since his father, Herod the Great, had altered his will in his final hours to remove Archelaus. The galley (ship) was on the coins to remind the Jews that Rome approved Archelaus’ reign. The galley also has an aphlaston (the upward curving stern of an ancient war ship), oars and a ram. The inscriptions say ETHNARCH on the reverse side and HEROD on the obverse, which also has a double cornucopia adorned with a grape vine. Another symbol that was on Herod Archelaus’ coins was the Caduceus which was the wing-topped staff with two snakes that was carried by Hermes the god who brought messages from the gods to men since the Caduceus was a symbol for truce, neutrality and Archelaus wanted to maintain that non-combative status with Rome. It was understood that Apollo had given to Archelaus.

Do I see God's work each day? Do I hear God's word each day?
I will look and listen to identify the Lord and increase my faith. |
