God's Presence in Deuteronomy

God's presence has impacted Moses so much that Moses is a clear embodiment of God writing a reminder letter of warning and urging to walk in obedience of God's ways. 

Moses has spent so much time with God in the tent of meeting that Moses knows the heart of God and now retells and reminds the events to the Israelites so that generations after will continue in God's ways and not fall away and incur the wrath of God. 

Thus the lesson of repetition is vividly shown in this book so the people of God would remember the key lessons i.e. the Ten Commandments, the laws, the festivals, the Passover and others. 

God's presence is also taught through the process of parenting and household management as outlined in Deuteronomy chapter 6. Thus the important role of fathers and mothers to know God themselves and to be able to lay the environment for the next generation to experience God themselves. 

Next God's presence was also experienced down through leadership succession and preparation between Moses and Joshua, his aid.
