Shalom all dear doves,

Years ago, I heard that Jesus quoted so much (the most?) from the
book of Deuteronomy, so must have loved it so, being its Author,
and knowing its later day vitality (and neglect) ...  So please
note the ESPECIALLY EXPLICIT LAST DAY EVERLASTING WORDS our Lord
and Saviour gave to Moses for US ...

Let's listen TO HIM and believe and follow HIM / HIS WORD, tusting
that HE will keep HIS WORD to do it in us if we really ask HIM in
child like simplicity and sincerety ...

Now let US hear HIM ...
 

John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for ...
 

History records that God HAS kept HIS WORD (see especially
Deuteronomy 4 below) so we might expect HIM to KEEP IT STILL ...

Focusing words for the days ahead ... 27, 28, 29 ....
 

John 6

27   Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat
which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall
give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

28   Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work
the works of God?

29   Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God,
that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
 

Deuteronomy 4

1   Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the
judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and
go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers
giveth you.
2   Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither
shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments
of the LORD your God which I command you.
3   Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for
all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed
them from among you.
4   But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every
one of you this day.
5   Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the
LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither
ye go to possess it.
6   Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your
understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all
these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and
understanding people.
7   For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto
them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him
for?
8   And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and
judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this
day?
9   Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest
thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they
depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy
sons, and thy sons' sons;
10   Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God
in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people
together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn
to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and
that they may teach their children.
11   And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the
mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness,
clouds, and thick darkness.
12   And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye
heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard
a voice.
13   And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you
to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two
tables of stone.
14   And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes
and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over
to possess it.
15   Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no
manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in
Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
16   Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the
similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
17   The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness
of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
18   The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the
likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
19   And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou
seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of
heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which
the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole
heaven.
20   But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the
iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of
inheritance, as ye are this day.
21   Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and
sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in
unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an
inheritance:
22   But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye
shall go over, and possess that good land.
23   Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the
LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image,
or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden
thee.
24   For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
25   When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and
ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt
yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing,
and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him
to anger:
26   I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that
ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over
Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but
shall utterly be destroyed.
27   And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall
be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall
lead you.
28   And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood
and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
29   But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou
shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all
thy soul.

30   When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee,
 

     ******* even in the latter days, *******
 

if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;

31   (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake
thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers
which he sware unto them.
32   For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee,
since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the
one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such
thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?
33   Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the
midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
34   Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst
of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by
war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great
terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in
Egypt before your eyes?
35   Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD
he is God; there is none else beside him.
36   Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might
instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and
thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.
37   And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their
seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty
power out of Egypt;
38   To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier
than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an
inheritance, as it is this day.
39   Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that
the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath:
there is none else.
40   Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments,
which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and
with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days
upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee,
 

    ******* for ever. *******
 

Psalm 145

18   The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that
call upon him in truth.
19   He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will
hear their cry, and will save them.
20   The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked
will he destroy.
 

Romans 10

12   For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for
the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13   For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14   How then shall they call on him in whom they have not
believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not
heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
 

Shalom shalom,

David,
