Gilbert House Fellowship #317: Deuteronomy 6-8

HEAR, O ISRAEL: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.

This week, we discuss the Shema, the affirmation of loyalty to God that represents the greatest commandment of Christianity and Judaism. We explain why “the Lord is one” more accurately means that God is unique in substance. A better sense of the verse is, “The Lord is our God, the Lord alone,” or, “The Lord is our God, the Lord is unique.”

We also discuss the importance of figuratively committing the Word of God to our hearts and minds, a principle reflected in God’s command to Israel to bind them to their hands and foreheads with the tefillin, a practice that will be twisted by the Antichrist someday with the Mark of the Beast.


NOTE: New dates for our tour of Israel! We will lead our next tour through the Holy Land March 25–April 3, 2025, with an optional three-day extension to Jordan featuring visits to Mount Nebo, Wadi Rum, and Petra. Our special guests are Dr. Judd Burton and Doug Van Dorn!

  1. There is a magazine called “Biblical Archaeology” great magazine. I love it.

    1. Author

      We’ve got the new Fall 2021 edition right here.

      1. You were just in Albuquerque, did you know about the Los Lunas Stone, which is located 20-30 min. south of “the kirk”, west of the Rio Grande near Los Lunas, NM? From the site referenced below: “The Los Lunas Inscription is an abridged version of the Decalogue or Ten Commandments, carved into the flat face of a large boulder resting on the side of Hidden Mountain, near Los Lunas, New Mexico, about 35 miles south of Albuquerque. The language is Hebrew, and the script is the Old Hebrew alphabet, with a few Greek letters mixed in.”
        This is just one site about it: https://www.asc.ohio-state.edu/mcculloch.2/arch/loslunas.html

  2. Worked my way through every page, thankful for all of your tenacious research. Thank you for this amazing presentation and for your delightful style. It takes some time to digest and study. God bless. Lots of love and warm thoughts from Sweden.
