So reading the Bible chronologically and in such a short time, is bringing some things to light that have sometimes been confusing.
For example, It was always a little confusing that Leviticus-Deuteronomy seems to repeat things, but I never really understood the rhyme or reason until today.
Deuteronomy starts out reminding the Israelites of what they have been through in preparation for entering the promise land. I suppose a student of the Bible such as myself should have noticed that before, but it just seemed to pop out when I read it this time.
It's just amazing how many times the Israelites screwed up and God punished, then forgave them. It is also interesting how many references to Christ coming that I am finding as I read through the Bible this time. I knew there were a few, but not quite so many before you get to the prophets.
