Instructions for Future Rulers (Deuteronomy 17)

What this episode covers

Here the Lord made provision for the time in the future when Israel would desire to have a strong ruler over them, to be “as all the rest of the nations”. Those instructions are key to understanding the later downfall of the Jewish kingdom and provide practical guidance for us today. We also explore passages that foreshadow New Testament teaching on our own spiritual sacrifice, and on dealing with sin in the church.
