The Song of Moses

1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
In the previous chapter (31:28-30) Moses calls the leaders and the people together to sing this song to them. He then says he will call heaven and earth to testify against them. Then he says to heaven and earth to listen, but he is speaking/singing to the rulers and people of the land. As seen in other places like Isa. 1:2,10, heavens = rulers and earth = people ruled. Moses is calling them to testify against themselves! We see this born out in Matt. 23:31 and Luke 11:48 as Jesus Himself says they are witnesses against themselves.
2 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: 3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 4 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.
God is the Rock. That Rock is Christ (1 Cor. 10:4). Therefore Christ is God. Super clear.
5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation. 6 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?
Israel was crooked. They have corrupted themselves (they weren't born that way).
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. 8 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. 9 For the Lord's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. 10 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. 11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 
God calls them to remember when he brought them out of Egypt and to the promised land of inheritance. He provided for them, instructed them, and led them. Again we see the symbol of the eagle as powerful and protective.
12 So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 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; 14 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.
God was not like the fake, false gods of the pagan nations. He is a living God able to provide real blessings, blessings of fruitful lands and easy soil, blessings of fat animals for food. Bashan is spoken of a lot. It was originally ruled over by a giant, Og (Josh. 12:4) but was later the place where the tribe of Dan dwelt (Deut. 33:22) and came to be a metaphor for the Israelites acting as a gentile nation. This is most clearly seen in Psa. 22:12, a prophetic psalm detailing the crucifixion of Christ. It is also used as an insult in Amos 4:1.
15 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.
Another reference to Christ as God interacting with them throughout their existence.
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. 17 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.
The worship of false, fake gods made by human hands is not only stupid, its also evil and equated to sacrificing to devils rather than God or gods.
18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
The Rock is Christ that begat them. When did this happen? At the Red Sea when they were covered by the Cloud above and water on either side. It was a type pointing to NT immersion, a movement from death and slavery to sin to life and freedom. When does Christ begat us? When we are raised from the dead to walk in newness of life at the antitype, baptism.
19 And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. 20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
Matthew 3:7 - "But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?"
Matt. 11:16-17 - "But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented."
Matt. 12:34-45 - "34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. 38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation."
Matt. 23
Acts 2:40 - "And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation."
And many more passages in the New Testament speak of that generation as wicked, evil, and worthy of destruction. But also, that the same generation would see the destruction prophesied about come upon them:
Mark 8:38-9:1; 
8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
Matt. 24:34
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
21 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. 22 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.
Fire is a symbol of God's wrath and judgment, not the Holy Spirit. When John the Immerser spoke of the Jews being immersed with the Holy Spirit and fire, that was two opposing concepts. The first was Pentecost representatively through the Apostles. The later was AD 66-74 with the destruction of the Jewish State.
23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them. 24 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. 25 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
Same language found in 2 Peter 3 and Revelation.
26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men: 27 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. 28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. 29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
If the Israelites were wise, they would understand that this is their latter end. There was no more for them after this. It was ultimate destruction as a nation. There will not be a coming back from them despite what the millennialists preach.
30 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? 31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. 32 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: 33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
God the Son would have fought for them, but instead has turned against them which is why they not only lose, they lose absurdly bad. They went after another rock, another god who was as impotent as any piece of dirt and that god could not protect them or provide for them to any amount. Then once again the Israelites are compared to Sodom and Gomorrah.
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures? 35 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.
In Romans 12:9 Paul writes: "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." Where did the Lord (Jesus) say this? Right here in Deut. 32:35!
36 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. 37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted, 38 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. 39 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. 40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. 41 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. 42 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. 43 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.
Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes. Worship fake gods when you are supposed to be faithful to the one true and living God and this is what it looks like at the end for you. Just like it looks in Matthew 24-25, its parallels in Mark and Luke, and in Revelation.
44 And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
Still doubt this is about Revelation and the first century? The Song of Moses is in Revelation 15:3:
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
In Truth and Love,
