The Greatest Miracle in History: A Challenge from Deuteronomy 4:32

I want to share with you something that God has been saying strongly to ME since 1992 and which is powerfully motivating MY life. And I want to give YOU the same strong spiritual challenge which Moses gave to Israel in Deuteronomy 4:32 – ‘Ask now of the days that are past, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from the one side of Heaven to the other, WHETHER THERE HAS BEEN ANY SUCH THING AS THIS GREAT THING IS, OR HAS BEEN HEARD LIKE IT?’ I have not found any other man who could make a statement as strong as this, that Israel had witnessed the greatest miracle ever! Yes, this was 3000 years ago, but I believe that it also relates to today, and will be EXCEEDED.

At the time of speaking, Moses is 120 years old, but forty years before this something had happened which brought a bigger change to the nation of Israel than anything ever experienced in any nation before or since – the moment when God, for the first time, began to demonstrate the greatness of His power by working the most outstanding, visible miracles in front of the most powerful nation in the whole earth.

The Biblical Context of Moses’ Challenge

In Deuteronomy 4:32, a 120-year-old Moses asks the nation of Israel to search the entirety of human history, from the moment of creation to the ends of the earth:

"Ask now of the days that are past... whether there has been any such thing as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?"

Moses was referring to the Exodus from Egypt, specifically the forty years where God transitioned from hidden providence to visible, undeniable power. This era marked the first time God demonstrated His greatness through public miracles before the world's most powerful empire.

The Modern Implication: Will History Repeat?

While Moses claimed that no greater thing had been heard of in his time, many biblical scholars and believers suggest that this "Great Thing" was a prototype. There is a strong spiritual consensus that the miracles of the past serve as a shadow of what is to come.

Key Principle: I believe we are approaching a season where the wonders of the Exodus will not only be remembered but exceeded in our modern era.
