Should the nation depart from following God and then experience the removal of His hand of blessing, all would not be lost. God even provided a way for His people to return to His good graces. The nation now faced a choice: would they choose life or death? Moses urged his followers to choose wisely, and to choose life. Joshua, Moses' assistant was then appointed to be his successor. The law was appointed to be read every 7 years, to remind the people of their promises and God's expectations.
God then called Moses to complete his ministry and prepare to die. He told Moses that the people would eventually rebel against Him; but that some would remain faithful. Moses compiled his words and preserved them for the people. He then gathered them together for one last address.
