Deuteronomy Chapter 31

From: Notes and Comments 2

Deuteronomy 31

There is much encouragement and comfort that the exhortation and charge to Joshua is given in the same time as the prophetic song which announces the failure of the people. Our present work and duty, whatever it may be in the Church, hangs from the charge, and is sustained by it, whatever we may know of the results as regards man's unfaithfulness. Note this well.

25-30. compare Acts 20:17, 29,¹⁷And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church. (Acts 20:17)
²⁹For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. (Acts 20:29) and following verses. The analogy is very remarkable.
