There are two Songs of Moses in the Bible. The first one was sung after the Israelites were freed from Egypt in Exodus 15 and the second one presented here from Deuteronomy 32 just prior to them entering the Promised Land. A couple of points to make about the second one:
- It gives the history as well as the prophecy of what was to become of the Israelites through their froward sins in worshiping the "rock" (that is to say Satan with a small "r") instead of the Rock of their Salvation (that is to say God with a capital "R"). Just as outlined in the Bible for all to read of the 6th & 7th Trumps and how it will go and what to expect, this Song of Moses sung before the captivities and scatterings of Israel, foretold of their failings and the consequences. "Hearing" is not knowing...and "Knowing" is not preventative if you do not "practice" God's Word.
- The Song of Moses that will be sung after the 7th Trump as stated in Revelation 15:3 is this second one in Deuteronomy 32.
SONG OF MOSES
Give
ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my
mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the
rain, My speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender
herb, and as the showers upon the grass: because I will publish the name of the
Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
He is the Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment: a
God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He. They have corrupted themselves, their spot is
not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation. Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people
and unwise? Is not He thy Father that
hath bought thee? Hath He not made thee,
and established thee?
Remember
the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, he
will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. When the Most High divided to the nations
their inheritance, when He separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the
people according to the number of the children of Israel. For the Lord’s portion is His people; Jacob
is the lot of His inheritance. He found
him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; He led him about, He
instructed him, He kept him as the apple of His eye. As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth
over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her
wings: so the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange God with
him. He made him ride on the high places
of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and He made him to
suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; butter of kine, and
milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,
with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the
grape.
But
Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou
art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly
esteemed the Rock of his salvation. They
provoked Him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they Him
to anger. They sacrificed unto devils,
not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom
your fathers feared not. Of the Rock
that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee,
and when the Lord saw it, He abhorred them, because of the provoking of His
sons, and of His daughters.
And
He said, I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for
they are a very forward generation, children in whom is no faith.
They
have moved Me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked Me to
anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which
are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
For
a fire is kindled in Mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall
consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of
the
mountains. I will heap mischiefs upon
them; I will spend Mine arrows upon them.
They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and
with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with
the poison of serpents of the dust. The
sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the
virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
I
said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them
to cease from among men: were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest
their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say,
“Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this.” For they are a nation void of counsel,
neither is there any understanding in them.
O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would
consider their latter end! How should
one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had
sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?
For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being
judges. For their vine is of the vine of
Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their
clusters are bitter: their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom
of asps.
Is
not this laid up in store with Me, and sealed up among My treasures? To Me belongeth vengeance, and recompence;
their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand,
and the things that shall come upon them make haste. For the Lord shall judge His people, and
repent Himself for His servants, when He seeth that their power is gone, and
there is none shut up, or left. And He
shall say, “Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted, which did
eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink
offerings? Let them rise up and help
you, and be your protection.”
See
now that I, even I, am He, and there is no god with Me: I kill, and I make
alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of My
hand. For I lift up My hand to heaven,
and say, I live for ever. If I whet My
glittering sword, and Mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance
to Mine enemies, and will reward them that hate Me. I will make Mine arrows drunk with blood, and
My sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the
captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
Rejoice,
O ye nations, with His people: for He will avenge the blood of His servants,
and will render vengeance to His adversaries, and will be merciful unto His
land, and to His people.
Deuteronomy 32:1-43
