As we look forward to the end of this age and the return of Jesus Christ and the age of His millennial reign, we are reminded of the tests that will come our way. God reminds us what we must do and offers encouraging words to those who are "about to cross over" into a new time in the book of Deuteronomy -- words that are encouragement and a guide for us today in the 21st century.
