Deuteronomy 29

Deut. 29: 29 "The LORD our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that he has revealed to us, so that we may obey all the terms of these instructions."

This seems to be saying that there's much more to God than our finite minds can grasp, and God hasn't revealed all that stuff. And God isn't being unfair by requiring us to obey XYZ that we have no idea about--perhaps we're only judged on what we've done with the information we did have. Any thoughts on this?

Deuteronomy 17

From Deut. 17:14-20...
Guidelines for a King
Must not build up a stable of horses
Must not return to Egypt
Must not take many wives
Must copy this body of instruction and read it daily

Keep this in mind as you read Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, and the prophets
