Deuteronomy 29: Continuation of Blessings and Curses
On this chapter, God reminded Israel of the covenant through Moses.
The Lord reminded Israel about the mighty things He has done with them and they've seen them with their own eyes. In Egypt, where the mighty hands of the Lord make wonders, signs and plagues before their own eyes.
For 40 years, the people of Israel was wandering in the desert, leading to the land of promise. Their clothing, and their sandals have not worn out, as if they are always new every morning.
Yes the Love of the Lord is new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness of the Lord!
The people of Israel have seen the abominations of the nations that worships idols made of wood, stone, silver or gold. And that God has separated them against these nations, and not even one among them do these detestable things that the Lord God hates. Even so, the anger from the Lord will burn against him, even every curse that was written will rest on that man.
And if the people of Israel will forsake their God, the Lord that brought them out from the slavery in Egypt through signs and wonders, then the curse written in the book of the law will rest on Israel.
Then generations will come and wonder why the land that vomits its people, the land that becomes a wasteland so that not even grass will grow from it, will wonder saying, "Why has the LORD done thus to this land? Why this great outburst of anger?"(verse 24). And then they conclude: "Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out from the land of Egypt. They went and serve other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they have not known and whom God had not allotted to them. Therefore, the anger of the LORD burned against that land, to bring upon it every curse which is written in the book of the law; and the LORD uprooted them from their land kn anger and in fury and in great wrath, and cast them into another land, as it is this day." (Verses 25-28).
