Key Verse: Verses 32 – “For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?”
Key Words: This great thing
Deuteronomy 4 is Moses' review of Israel's wilderness wanderings. They have now arrived at the east bank of the Jordan River. It's here that Moses gave his final instructions to the people. They are now ready to enter the Promised Land and Moses reminds them that this is the second greatest event in the history of Israel. What was the greatest event? Well, you find that in Deuteronomy 4:32, "For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?" Since the day that God created man upon the earth, Moses says the creation of man was the greatest of all events. (Remember Jesus hasn't come to earth yet to live, die, and be resurrected.)
But today creation is scoffed and mocked at by the humanists of our day. Note prophetic words of Charles Spurgeon in a message he preached on August 31, 1890, in regard to creation: "If any of you shall live fifty years, you will see that the philosophy of today will be a football of contempt for the philosophy of that period. They will speak, amid roars of laughter, of evolution; and the day will come when there will not be a child but will look upon it as being the most foolish notion that ever crossed the human mind." How prophetic! How true! What a shame!
What to do:
✞ Never forget the message of creation. It's a message of power, of love, of salvation. It's a message that God does exist.
