This is a long post today but is something I believe people should open their eyes about. Is this us and America today?
How does Deuteronomy 28:1 apply to you as an individual and then when you read on, compare the whole chapter to where America is today. Christians, are we not living in this time right now?
“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:”
(Deuteronomy 28:1)
Isn’t it amazing how simply obeying God can lead to an abundance of blessings in our lives? Deuteronomy 28:1 encapsulates this beautifully by highlighting the direct correlation between obedience to God’s commands and the outpouring of blessings. When we choose to walk in obedience to God, we position ourselves to receive the abundant blessings He has in store for us. It’s like a loving parent rewarding their child for good behavior; God delights in blessing His children who choose to follow His ways.
Moses told his people in the book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 28, about God's blessings and judgment. Even though at the time it wasn’t written to America, there are striking parallels to what this nation is experiencing today when we compare it to Israel in Moses time. When reading 28:1-14, it is dealing with God’s blessings resulting from obedience, and 28:15-68 is telling us about curses as a result from turning away from God.
Let's start by first looking at the blessings of obedience and we will then see how the tide has shifted. In the first part of this chapter, we see that God's blessings will be upon offspring, agricultural production, and personal labor in verse 1-5. In verse 7, we see the enemies rising up against the people, will be defeated. "The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. (vs. 8). Going down to verses 9-14, several more blessings are listed: abundance of prosperity, giving rain to the land in its season, lending to many nations, and being the head and above all, not the tail.
"But," it says in verse 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:" Verse 20 warns, "The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.” The Lord will send upon you curses, confusion, and rebuke in all you undertake to do..." Is not this exactly what is happening more and more today in American politics and foreign policy? Take careful notice and look at all the confusion and turmoil that is going on in Washington D.C.
We are also being overtaken by pestilence and consumption, which is another name for consumerism. Pestilence refers to contagious and epidemic diseases.
Verse 24 gives a very clear description of drought. " The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.” Drought and dried up crops have become a reality for too many farmers. I am not implying that all farmers have turned away from God.
This nation is not winning wars like we used to. This is expressed in verse 25, where it says " The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.”
Terminal illness, madness, bewilderment of heart, and physical oppression are listed in verses 27-29. Depression and emotional illness are at an all time high in America today.
Let’s go down to verses 43-44 and read, " The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail." China is an alien nation that is lending us money and buying up import business here.
There is a warning given in verses 49-50. " 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; A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:" Doesn't this sound a lot like being overcome by Islam?
There are more diseases and chronic illnesses are mentioned in verse 59.
You may not agree with all of my implications, but I think you would agree that there is a lot of the same that went on with what America is experiencing today. God is lifting His hand of blessing off of this great nation and it is showing the signs. How can people continue to sing, "GOD BLESS AMERICA" when…innocent babies, who are the creations of God, are being aborted? Also, our culture is worshipping other gods of money, consumerism, music, movies, and technology such as AI. (Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that enables computers and machines to simulate human learning, comprehension, problem solving, decision making, creativity and autonomy.”) Also the people in the United States are trying to take down the symbols of truth about how America became a nation of worshipping the one and only God, like the removing cross, removing the Ten Commandments, taking the right to pray in public, taking prayer out of schools, the Bible out of public places, and the name of Jesus not being allowed to be spoken in a public place outside of church? YES, the spiritual foundation that our nation's forefathers established is being ignored?
Thank God for His grace upon America, but how much longer will He be patient with this land and the people who live in it?
If you are studying the Bible, you will find that the Judgement of God is about to fall upon the world. Not just the United States of America, all the Western nations, but most severely onto those who commence their attack on Israel, as per Psalm 83 "Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy peo
ple, and consulted against thy hidden ones. 4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: 6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. 9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: 10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. 11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: 12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. 13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. 14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; 15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. 16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. 17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: 18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.”
The Lord put this on my heart today because of the prophesies of the Bible are being fulfilled every day. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
