centuries ago. “The people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations”—words which, among others, no doubt, Frederick the Great’s chaplain had in his mind when the Emperor asked him to prove the truth of the Bible in one word, and he answered, “Israel.” In these books of Moses many points were prophesied about Israel and the land which are true today. For instance:—

They should be driven out of their land (Leviticus 26:33),
And their land should be desolate (Leviticus 26:33),

They should be scattered among the nations (Deuteronomy 4:27),
And yet remain a separate people (Numbers 23:9).

The same has never been true of any other nation except Israel. Whenever we see a Jew, we have a witness to the truth of God’s Word.

Again, Balaam looked down the ages and saw One who was to come. “I shall see Him, but not now; I shall behold Him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel … out of Jacob shall come He that shall have dominion” (Numbers 24:17, 19). “Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His Star in the east, and are come to worship Him” (Matthew 2:2). Where is the King? We have seen His Star. The Star and the Scepter were foretold nearly 1500 years before they came to pass. And the wise men saw the star, shining in all its splendor, above all other stars in brightness, over the lowly spot where lay the Babe of Bethlehem. “I, Jesus, have sent Mine Angel to testify unto you these things in the Churches. I am the root and offspring of David, and the bright and morning Star” (Revelation 22:16).

Deuteronomy

Moses. Of all the Old Testament characters Moses stands out as the greatest. He was prophet, legislator, historian, ruler, all in one; and in the world’s history probably no name has ever stirred the heart of a nation as his has done. It is impossible to overrate the place Moses held in the Jewish nation. He laid the foundation of its literature, and no appeal has ever been made by the Jews from his laws, or from any word that he wrote. His Hebrew parentage and training, his learning in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and his forty years of communion with God in the solitude of Horeb, combined to
