We continue learning about the evolution of the nation Israel from a nomadic existence to a well-structured nation managed by judges who were specifically picked for their level of observance to G-d's Torah including justice, compassion, and impartiality. G-d warns the people against idolatry in any form with conviction of such a sin punishable by death. We should be humbled to learn that idolatry takes many forms, some of which we may not have been aware.

We also get a "glimpse" into Messiah Yahshua through Moshe's comments in Deuteronomy 18:15. Unfortunately, our Orthodox brethren do not see the truth in this statement and its reference to Yahshua. One day the blinders will be removed, and they will understand the import of Moshe's comments that day (Rom. 11:25).
