"Behold, you are about to lie down with your fathers. Then this people will rise and whore after the foreign gods among them in the land that they are entering, and they will forsake me and break my covenant that I have made with them..."
1. Be Faithful: What would you do if you were given a glimpse of your influence after you die and you find out that everything you taught faded in 2.5 seconds? A lot of people would simply go, "It's not worth it...if that is what happens, why bother doing anything at all?" But here's the thing...regardless of what happens, our responsibility is to do what is commanded of us. We can sit back and play the "what if" games all day long or we can "predict" what other people will do...and as an act of disobedience use that to not do something. But listen...do your part well and be faithful to what you are supposed to do first.
2. Teach Well: Our role is the perpetual role of teacher and instructor. God comes to Moses before he dies and says, "teach the people these laws and statues...and let that be a witness against them" God does this because then the people will have no excuse to go, "Well nobody ever told me!" Instead, much like Romans 1:18-20 although they know...they want to suppress the truth. Continue to teach well and plead hard for your people.
