LAND COVENANT 5 OF 8- PART 2

Deuteronomy 29:1 - 30-20
Part 2: Deuteronomy 29:14 - 29
(V14) “Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;”
(V14) Moses once again explains the covenant that God made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We find that the covenant and oath were not exclusionary, but comprehensive and included not only those who were present but also those who were not present at that time.

(V15) “But with him that standeth here with us this day before the Lord our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:”
(V15) The articles of the covenant called for all of the Israelites present and those who were not to share it’s blessings and entitlements.

(V16) “(For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;”
(V16) Anarchists should look out for temptations to serve gentile idols and think that they would escape the wrath of God.

(V17) “And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)”
(V17) On page 226 of William MacDonald’s Believer’s Bible Commentary published by Thomas Nelson Publishers, Nashville, Tennessee, stated that “one who when he hears the words of this sworn covenant, blesses himself in his heart saying, I shall be safe, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart his would lead to the sweeping away of the moist and dry alike.” No one would escape.

(V18) “Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;”
(V18) Here we have a warning to all the men, women, families and tribes to sever out from among them those whose hearts have been turned to serve the gods of the nations around them.  They were also warned not to cultivate a root of bitterness among them.  At this point I must warn this present generation that is being bombarded on every side by opportunities to serve the false gods of the foreign nations that are among us.  Since the early sixties when Jesus was expelled from America’s educational systems some schools teach our children that all so called gods are to be revered while from their lips the name of Jesus must be whispered.

(V19) “And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:”
(V19) This is instructing them not to call a curse a blessing while declaring that they have peace even though they walk in the imagination of their own hearts while adding drunkenness to thirst.

(V20) “The Lord will not spare him, but then the anger of the Lord and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven.”
(V20) The Lord will not exempt him from the wrath of His anger when His flaming jealousy smokes against that person when all of the curses written in God’s book are laid upon him and his name blotted out from under heaven.

This concludes this post, but before I shut the ole computer down, Dear Reader, I must ask this question: ARE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY RAPTURE READY!!!!
