(Moses said to the Israelites) “Now search all of history, from the time God created people on the earth until now, and search from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything as great as this ever been seen or heard before? Has any nation every heard the voice of God speaking from fire-as you did- and survived? Has any other god dared to take a nation for himself out of another nations by means of trials, miraculous signs, wonders, war, a strong hand, a powerful arm, and terrifying acts? Yet this is what the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, right before your eyes.
He showed you these things so you would know that the Lord is God and there is no other. He let you hear His voice from heaven so He could instruct you. He let you see His great fire on earth so He could speak to you from it. Because he loved your ancestors, He chose to bless their descendants, and He personally brought you out of Egypt with a great display of power. He drove out nations far greater than you, so He could bring you and give you their land as your special possession, as it today.
So remember this and kept firmly in mind: The Lord is God, both in heaven and on earth, and there is no other. If you obey all the decrees and commands I am giving you today, all will be will with you and your children. I am giving you these instructions so you will enjoy a long life in the land of the Lord your God is giving you for all time.” (Deuteronomy 6: vv. 32-30, NLT)
