Deuteronomy 16
Required feasts reviewed: Passover/Unleavened Bread, Weeks (50), and Booths.
Appoint judges who won't take bribes.
Don't set up Asherah poles by My altars or anywhere. I hate them.
Jesus is a righteous judge who, when tempted, served God alone. He IS our passover, and we must keep the feast (1 Corinthians 5:8)!
Chapter 17
Stone idolators, on the testimony of 2-3 witnesses.
Abide by the decisions of the priests and judges installed at the place I choose.
You may have a king in the future, whom I choose, who doesn't amass wealth and who follows My Word.
Jesus in the end, will sentence to death those who refuse Him. He doesn't amass wealth, unlike His professed (counterfeit) vicar on earth in Rome.
Chapter 18
Support your local Levites with your offerings.
No sorcery or child sacrifice.
God will send a prophet like Moses. Listen to Him!
Jesus is the prophet predicted here. At His baptism, God the Father quoted this verse to prove that!
Chapter 19
Set apart 3 cities of refuge for unintentional homicides to be protected from avengers.
Protect people from hostile, false witnesses. Require 2-3 witnesses. Do to false witnesses what would have happened to their accusers.
Jesus protects His people from disproportionate punishment and false accusations.
