4. Deuteronomy 2-3, Remember History
• Moses continues recounting the journey thus far.
• The book of Deuteronomy uses the word “remember” more
times than any other book of the Bible except the Psalms (it
has 150 chapters).
• Here’s a few; “Remember the day you stood before the
LORD your God at Horeb…remember that you were a
slave…what God did to Pharaoh…God has led
you…remember the LORD…how you provoked the
LORD…you were a slave…God redeemed you…remember
Egypt...you were a slave…God did to Miriam…what Amalek
did…Remember the days of old…

5. Deuteronomy 2:5, 9, 19, Do Not Provoke
Them
• NAU Deuteronomy 2:5 do not provoke them, for I will not give you
any of their land, even as little as a footstep because I have given
Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.
• NAU Deuteronomy 2:9 "Then the LORD said to me, 'Do not harass
Moab, nor provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their
land as a possession, because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot as a
possession.
• NAU Deuteronomy 2:19 'When you come opposite the sons of
Ammon, do not harass them nor provoke them, for I will not give you
any of the land of the sons of Ammon as a possession, because I have
given it to the sons of Lot as a possession.’
• Don't go pick fights based on your own greed, lust, or desire.

7. Deuteronomy 2:5, 9, 19, 24
God Is Not An “Indian Giver”
• Deut. 2:5…I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.
• 2:9 …because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot…
• 2:19…because I have given it to the sons of Lot…
• God is a covenant keeper. His Word stands forever.
• NAU Genesis 12:7 The LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your
descendants I will give this land…”, Genesis 13:15 for all the land which
you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever…

• wikipedia=, “..As observed and documented by Lewis and Clark in their journal, trading with Native Americans had a very unusual
aspect - any trade, once consummated, was considered a fair trade. If on one day, they traded beads for a dog from a tribe, then
days later, the trade could be reversed - upon surrendering the beads, the tribe expected the dog back…”

8. Deuteronomy 2:5, Footsteps, Footprints
• NAU Deuteronomy 2:5 do not provoke them, for I will not give you
any of their land, even as little as a footstep because I have given
Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.
• NAU Psalm 89:51 With which Your enemies have reproached, O
LORD, With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your
anointed. NAU Psalm 77:19 Your way was in the sea And Your paths
in the mighty waters, And Your footprints may not be known.
• NAU Hosea 6:8 Gilead is a city of wrongdoers, Tracked with bloody
footprints.
• Andrew Bonar has said, “It is easy to follow a person’s footprints if
we walk close behind him, but if we walk some distance back, we
might fail to see them as clearly. Similarly, if we follow close after
the Lord, we would easily see the footsteps along the way, but if we
try to follow afar off, we would find it difficult to know the path of
His will.”

9. Deuteronomy 2:10, Giants In The Land
• NAU Deuteronomy 2:10 (The Emim lived there
formerly, a people as great, numerous, and tall
as the Anakim.1128 Emim
Bibleworks, 1128.01 A giant war-like race, which occupied
the region E. of the Dead Sea, in which the Moabites
succeeded them (Gen. 14:5; Deut. 2:10). Perhaps related
to "Amu" the Egyptian word in the hieroglyphics for
nomadic Shemites. The Hebrew means "terrible ones."
The Rephaim were on the N.E. of Jordan, the Zuzim next,
then the Emim, then the Horim on the S.E.; all gigantic.

10. Deuteronomy
2:10, Tall
Deut. 2:10 (The Emim
lived there formerly, a
people as great,
numerous, and tall as
the Anakim.
Why it's good to be tall!

11. Deuteronomy 2:10, Giants In The Land
• NAU Deuteronomy 2:10 (The Emim lived there
formerly, a people as great, numerous, and tall as
the Anakim.
• NAU Numbers 13:33 "There also we saw the
Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim);
and we became like grasshoppers in our own sight,
and so we were in their sight.”
• The green slides following are from our study in
Genesis chapter 6. Concerning the sons of God and
the daughters of men.

12. Jewish and Patristic Fathers
 The Jewish Fathers, Early Church Fathers and Philo of
Alexandria interpreted the expression “sons of God” in
Genesis 6:2, as "angels."
 “The Early Church Fathers believed the same way. Men
like Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Athenagoras, Tertullian,
Lactantius, Eusebius, Ambrose...all adopted this
interpretation. In the words of the Ante-Nicene Fathers, the
angels fell "into impure love of virgins, and were
subjugated by the flesh...Of those lovers of virgins
therefore, were begotten those who are called giants.”
…We cannot deny the Jewish Fathers knowledge of their
own terminology! They invariably translated "sons of God"
as "angels." ” www.redicecreations.com

13. Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim
 NAU Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth…
 NET ESV CSB NAS NAU Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim...
 NKJ KJV Genesis 6:4 There were giants...
 YLT Genesis 6:4 The fallen ones were in the earth in
those days...

14. The Nephilim (Gigantes) in LXX
 Deut 3:11 (Only Og
king of Bashan was left
of the remnant of the
Rephaites. His bed was
made of iron and was
more than thirteen feet
long and six feet wide.
It is still in Rabbah of
the Ammonites.)

15. The Nephilim (Gigantes) in LXX
 gi,gantej noun nominative
masculine plural common
 [LS] gi,gaj, GI´GAS
…..mostly in pl. Gi,gantej, the
Giants, a savage race
destroyed by the gods, Od.;
the sons of Gaia, Hes. II. as
Adj. mighty, Ze,furoj gi,gaj
Aesch.
 Gigantes, Grk. We get
English; Gigantic, Gigantism,
Giants, from it. DLK

16. Nephilim in Hebrew
Naphal,
The Fallen Ones

17.  Amos 2:9
 "I [the lord] destroyed the
Amorite before them,
 though he was tall as the
cedars
 and strong as the oaks.
 I destroyed his fruit above
 and his roots below.

18. Nephilim in Hebrew, Root naphal
 OT:5303, nephiyl (nef-eel'); or nephil (nef-eel'); from
OT:5307; properly, a feller, i.e. a bully or tyrant:,
KJV - giant.
 OT:5307, naphal (naw-fal'); a primitive root; to fall, in
a great variety of applications (intransitive or
causative, literal or figurative):
 KJV - …(cause to, let, make, ready to) fall (away,
down, -en, -ing), fell (-ing), fugitive, have [inheritance],
inferior, be judged…

19. The Nephilim (Gigantes) in LXX
 “When the Greek Septuagint was made, "Nephilim"
was translated as "gegenes." This word suggests
"giants" but actually it has little reference to size or
strength. "Gegenes" means "earth born." The same
term was used to describe the mythical "Titans" --
being partly of celestial and partly of terrestrial origin...
In some of the manuscripts it is left as "sons of God,"
but in the others-- including the Alexandrian text--it is
rendered by the word "angelos." This text was in
existence in the time of Christ, but there is no
indication that He ever corrected or queried it. Can we
not assume from His silence that He agreed with the
translation!” www.redicecreations.com

20. And Also Afterward
 Gen 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days
— and also afterward —

21. Num 13:27-33
 Num 13:27-33 They gave Moses this account: "We went
into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with
milk and honey! Here is its fruit. 28 But the people who live
there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very
large. We even saw descendants of Anak there. ….
 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, "We can't
attack those people; they are stronger than we are." 32
And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about
the land they had explored. They said, "The land we
explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw
there are of great size. 33 We saw the Nephilim there
(the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We
seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked
the same to them."

22. And Also Afterward
 The sons of God could have sinned again and that is
why God wiped out all the Canaanites.
 Genesis 9:24 When Noah awoke from his wine, he
knew what his youngest son had done to him. 25 So
he said, "Cursed be Canaan…
 Or, possibly, Noah’s daughter-in-laws carried a
genetic defect and were not “perfect in their
generations.”
 I’m not so sure about the girls. It doesn’t say, “Noah
and his daughter-in-laws were perfect in their
generations.”

23. Deuteronomy 2:18, “today”
• NAS Deuteronomy 8:1 "All the commandments that I am
commanding you today you shall be careful to do… (Deuteronomy
8:1, 11, 19, 9:1, 3)
• Most commentaries say that Deuteronomy consists of three or more
sermons that Moses gave. Only a few say that it was three points of
one sermon delivered at one time.
• Deuteronomy uses the word “today” more than any other book of the
Bible. Four times more than any other book of the Bible (58 NAU).
More than 1/4 of all the uses of the word are in Deuteronomy. It sure
seems to me that Moses would have us understand that he delivered
the entire sermon in one day. The day they would “cross over.”
• Deuteronomy uses the phrase “this day” another 15 times.
• NAU Deuteronomy 2:18 'Today you shall cross over Ar, the border of
Moab. Samsung most first of the month and got paid. 23

24. Deut. 2:20, NKJ KJVGiants In The Land
• NKJ Deuteronomy 2:20 (That was also regarded as a land of
giants; giants formerly dwelt there. But the Ammonites call
them Zamzummim, 21 a people as great and numerous
and tall as the Anakim. But the LORD destroyed them
before them, and they dispossessed them and dwelt in
their place,
• Who was responsible for cleansing the land of every man,
woman, and child?
• NAU Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the
free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

25. Deuteronomy 2:21,
The Lord Destroyed Them All
• NAU Deuteronomy 2:21 a people as great, numerous, and tall as the
Anakim, but the LORD destroyed them before them. And they
dispossessed them and settled in their place,
• God in His patience, and long-suffering, has allowed these people to
continue in their extreme sin, and iniquity, for 400 years after he gave
Abram the land;
• KJV Genesis 15:16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither
again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
• God saved the children from being raised in this godless, sinful,
wretched culture. If you have concerns about the eternal destiny of
these children you might watch my YouTube video;

26. The River
Arnon
NKJ Deuteronomy 2:24 "`Rise, take your
journey, and cross over the River Arnon. Look,
I have given into your hand Sihon the
Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin
to possess it, and engage him in battle.

27. Deuteronomy 2:30,
God Hardened His Heart
• NAU Deuteronomy 2:30 "But Sihon king of Heshbon was not willing
for us to pass through his land; for the LORD your God hardened his
spirit and made his heart obstinate, in order to deliver him into your
hand, as he is today.
• NAU Exodus 8:15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he
hardened his heart…
• NAU Exodus 8:32 But Pharaoh hardened his heart…
• NAU Exodus 9:12 And the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart…
• Pray that everyone you speak to will not harden their own heart to the
point that God will finally hardened their heart.
• NAU John 6:40 "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who
beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself
will raise him up on the last day… 44 "No one can come to Me unless
the Father who sent Me draws him…

29. Deuteronomy 3:1
Bashan
NAU Deuteronomy 3:1 "Then we
turned and went up the road to
Bashan, and Og, king of Bashan, with
all his people came out to meet us in
battle at Edrei.

Jordan (Deut. 3:3,10,14; Josh. 12:5;
1:Chr. 5:23), between mount Hermon

32. ANCIENT MODERN STEEL
TODAY'S CREATION MOMENT, Iron Steel
• The ages of human history are frequently divided into periods
named after rocks and minerals. There was the Stone Age, the
Bronze Age and the Iron Age. This evolutionary way of describing
human history is based on the materials people used to make
weapons and tools. On the other hand, the Bible describes man as
developing his knowledge of metalworking within a few generations
of his existence.
• The Presidential Palace in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan Researchers in
2000 were studying an ancient steel factory in Turkmenistan. The
1,000 year old steel factory produced the legendary Damascus steel,
which was the strongest and most durable steel produced in ancient
times. When the factory was operating, steel was heated to
temperatures up to 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Researchers
examined the pottery shards that …

they once held on the shards that told an amazing story. Some of
the shards had traces of low carbon steel, while others had
traces of high carbon steel. They concluded that the ancient steel
makers were mixing the two together in a process called co
fusion. The result was a strong, durable steel. What is amazing is
that it was previously thought that co fusion was discovered in
the 20th century!
• While our knowledge may be growing today, we need to avoid
false pride. The Bible teaches that the highest knowledge is the
knowledge of God. His protection is better than any provided by
the hardest steel.

coined by American naturalist and cryptozoologist Ivan

• 2 Kings 6:18-21, Numbers 22:31, John 9:26, 10:21, Acts 9:8-18, Genesis 21:19

38. Jerusalem Inspiration, Moses’ genuine love for the Land of Israel is a lesson for all time.
Though already informed that he would not enter the Promised Land, Moses sets his
heart to pray for God to change His mind. His plea to "see the good Land" highlights his
sincere motivation. Moses did not ask to lead the people into the Land of Israel; he was
content with passing the reigns to Joshua for that. Moses simply wanted to see the
Land, to breathe its air, and to experience its goodness.

39. • There was a women in a local church that had a son
that was quite unruly. They had a visiting
missionary come and he was trying to stir up
interest to get people to go to a foreign country to
preach the gospel. The missionary noticed that the
young boy was quite a pistol. At the end of the
service a woman dragging a little boy behind her,
told the missionary, “I just feel like God is calling me

THE SOUTH-POINTING CARRIAGE
• “Numerous Chinese legends refer to a mysterious carriage on which a mechanical rider rode. Its
arm was outstretched and continuously pointed south no matter which way the carriage turned.
How did it accomplish such a feat? If you're guessing that magnets had something to do with it,
you'd be wrong. Actually, the south-pointing chariot was invented about 800 years before the first
navigational use of a magnetic compass.
• South-pointing chariot exhibit in the Science Museum, LondonIn the 1960s, Dr. Joseph Needham
discovered that the carriage dated back to the third century AD. He also learned that the device
did not use magnets. The carriage was actually a highly sophisticated automaton that has since
been described as the world's "first cybernetic machine."
• So how did the figure know how to keep pointing south? It used a complex grouping of gears
similar to the differential gears found in modern cars. This system of interconnected gears allows
the wheels of a car turning a corner to move at different speeds, with the "outer" wheel traveling
farther than the other. The arm of the figure on the carriage was aimed southward by hand at the
start of a journey. After that, whenever the carriage turned, the mechanism automatically rotated
the arm to keep it pointed to the south.
• Over the years, we have told you about many such ancient devices, revealing that ancient man
was much more intelligent than modern man gives them credit for. This should come as no
surprise to those of us who believe the Bible.”
