This Day
. The term “this day” appears several times in Deuteronomy.
Chapter 4 v8, Chapter 15 v5, Chapter 19 v9 – what day are they speaking of?
Is it the 1st day of the 11th month when Moses gave his speech?
OR is it the day that you read or hear it?
Moses is speaking to the new generation of Israelites, the ones who were born in the wilderness. Do we today still qualify? Or is the modern generation different?
Nevertheless the message of Moses is still valid. Is the promise of "Elyon" still valid?
Are we superior? There are signs of our 'power' in that we represent such a tiny percentage of the population but a much higher percentage of success and notoriety. Look at the list of Nobel Prize winners, look at the statistics on the % of Jews in prestigious universities, look at the % of Jews who head successful businesses ... Look at the news!
What does this word Elyon mean?
Look at the wikipedia definition:
