Deuteronomy Chapter 18 Explained – Priests and Levites, Forbidden Occult Practices & The Prophet Like Moses | The Sunday School Bible KJV Study
In Deuteronomy 18, Moses outlines God’s plan for spiritual leadership and warns strongly against occult practices. The chapter first explains the inheritance and support for the Levitical priests who minister at the sanctuary — they have no land inheritance but live from the offerings of the people. Then comes one of the strongest warnings in Scripture: Israel must not imitate the detestable practices of the Canaanite nations, including child sacrifice, divination, sorcery, witchcraft, interpreting omens, casting spells, or consulting mediums and spiritists. Finally, God promises to raise up a Prophet like Moses from among their brothers — One whose words they must listen to. These point forward to the ultimate Prophet, Jesus Christ.
This chapter contrasts true worship and true prophecy with every form of false spirituality, while showing how God provides for His servants and speaks to His people. https://youtu.be/VhzlMkaG-Ew
