WHO SACRIFICES – IN THE FIRE – DIVINATION – OMENS / DEUTERONOMY 18:10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Deuteronomy 18:10

There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.

WHO SACRIFICES – IN THE FIRE – DIVINATION – OMENS / DEUTERONOMY 18:10

WHO SACRIFICES – IN THE FIRE

Moses reminds the Israelites not to follow the example of the Canaanite practice of child sacrifices to pagan gods, which was used as a means to influence future events (Leviticus 20:2-5).

DIVINATION – OMENS

Those who practiced divination sought to predict future events or uncover secrets by the aid of evil spirits or by some human means (Revelation 9:21). In contrast, God’s way for us to gain truth is to listen to faithful prophets who declare His Word (Deuteronomy 18:14-22).

DETESTABLE WAYS OF THE NATIONS / DEUTERONOMY 18:9-11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Deuteronomy 18:9-11

When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.

11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

DETESTABLE WAYS OF THE NATIONS / DEUTERONOMY 18:9-11

These verses contain a list of occult magic practices, common in the religions of Canaan. These things were an abomination (disgraceful evil) to God and forbidden by Him. Those among God’s Old Testament people who practiced such things were to be put to death (Leviticus 20:27). The New Testament declares that those who practice such things will not enter God’s kingdom (Galatians 5:20-21; Galatians 5:21; Revelation 22:15).

THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE / DEUTERONOMY 6:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Deuteronomy 6:4
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE / DEUTERONOMY 6:4

This verse – along with Deuteronomy 6:5-9; 11:13-21; Numbers 15:34-41 – teaches monotheism. This doctrine proclaims that God is the one true God, not a group of different gods. He is all-powerful among all the gods and spirits of the world (Exodus 15:11). This God must be the single object of Israel’s love and obedience (Deuteronomy 6:4-5). This aspect of “oneness” serves as the basis for keeping Israel from the worship of other gods (Exodus 30:3). It does not contradict the New Testament revelation of God as a triune (three-in-One) being who, though one in essence (nature or basic quality), is revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:17, Mark 1:11).
