Default Day 60. Deuteronomy 28-30 - 11-05-2007, 05:45 PM

Deuteronomy 28-30

Today we get more of the third sermon of Moses to the people before they go over the river Jordan.

The lesson includes:
  • A blessing
  • A horrible curse
  • A warning not to follow other gods
  • More curses
  • A promise

Deuteronomy 28

1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.


Not some of his commandments, not a few of his commandments, not the ones that make sense today and skipping the other ones, but ALL his commandments.

IF thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD.

God sets forth his rule. He'll bless you IF you follow his law. He'll be more than happy to curse you if you don't.

If you do, you'll be blessed in the city and the field.

4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

Ok, so we have meat trees in Deuteronomy 20:20, and we have fruit cows in Deuteronomy 28:4. PRAISE JESUS!!!

God will smite your enemies.

He'll make the people holy.

Everyone will be afraid of you.

He'll make it rain; and crops will grow.

He'll make you the leader among nations.

14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

All for just following his simple 613 laws. How hard is that?

15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:

Cursed in the city and field.

Your fruit will be cursed.

Pestilence will stick with you.

The rain will instead be a dust storm.

You will be killed by your enemies.

28 The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:

You'll take a wife and another man will go in unto her; you'll build a house and not lie in it; you'll plant a vineyard and not taste the wine or grapes.

Your kids will be taken.

Your crops will fail.

The stranger in the land will rise over you.

45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:

The blessing took up 15 verses, so far, we have 30 verses in the curse. Shall we continue?

49 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;

German? Roman? Persian? Arabic?

53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:

You will become cannibals! You will eat your own children!

59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

Take that backsliders!

63 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.

Wait, what did that say? It said "so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought"

If you turn your back on God, He will HAPPILY turn your life to crap! Where are the people who claim that God only does good things? Where was Jesus' footprints in the sand there? Maybe he was over at the picnic table having a cigarette, and he probably put it out on your forehead too!

66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:


That sounds like God can (and will) make your life hell. You'll wish the day was over, then you'll wish the night was over. God's like that when He gets angry with you.

Deuteronomy 29

Moses tells the people that they have seen the work of the Lord, but were pretty much to dumb to realize it.

He recounts that they haven't had to work for food, and their clothes didn't get old, and even though they wandered for 40 years, their shoes didn't wear out either.

Guess what, Moses then warns against following other gods.

18 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;

God will kill him, and destroy the land, so others will look at the joos and remind them of how they displeased their god.

Deuteronomy 30

1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,

Then, you will probably come back to worshiping God, the way HE wants to be worshiped.

He'll bring you back together.

He'll give you back the land.

He'll curse your enemies.

He'll make the land prosper.

Moses tells the people that this commandment isn't far off; it's right with the people.

14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

BUT... again, other gods...

17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;


19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.



The way it should be!

So what have we learned today?

1. Blessings take up way less time then curses. Moses (and God) could think of way more BAD things to do to the people, than they could think of ways to do good.
2. Meat comes from trees; fruit from kine.
3. If you don't worship God correctly, he'll make you eat your children.
