Deuteronomy chapter 28
And it MUST occur that if you will without fail listen to the voice of Jevovah your God by being careful to do all his commandments that I am commanding you today, Jehovah your God will certainly put you high above all other nations of the earth. And all the blessings MUST come upon you and overtake you, because you keep listening to the voice of Jehovah your God. Blessed will you be in the city, and blessed will you be in the field. Blessed be the fruit of your belly, and the fruit of the ground, and the fruit of your domestic beast, the young of your cattle and the progeny of your flock. Blessed will be your basket and kneeding trough. Blessed will you be when you come in and blessed tou will be when you go out. Jehova will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you. By one way they will come before you, but by seven ways they will flee before you. Jehovah will decre for you the blessing on your stores of supply and every undertaking of yours, and he will certainly bless you in the land that Jehovah your God is giving you. Jehovah will establish you as a holy people to himself, Just as he swore to you, because you continue to keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and you have walked in his ways. And the peoples of the earth will have to see that Jehovahs name has been called upon by you, and they will indeed be afraid of you. Jehovah will also make you overflow indeed with prosperity in the fruit of your belly and the fruit of your domestic animals and the fruitage of your ground that Jehovah swore to your forefathers to give you. Jehovah will open up for you his good storehouse, the heavens to give the rain in its season and to bles every deed of your hand, and you will CERTAINLY lend to many nations, while you yourself will not borrow. And Jehovah will indeed put you at the head and not at the tail, and you MUST come to be only on top, and you will not come to be on the bottom, because you keep obeying the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today to observe and to do. And you must not turn aside from all the words that I am commanding you today, to the right or to the left,to walk after other gods to serve them. And it MUST occur that if you will not listen to the voice of Jehovah your God by taking care to do all his commandments and statutes that I am commanding you today, all these maledictions MUST come upon you and overtake you:Cursed will you be in the city and cursed will be you in the field. Cursed be your basket and your kneeding trough. Cursed will be the fruit of your belly and the fruitage of your ground, the young of your cattle and the progeny of your flock. Cursed will you be when you come in, and cursed you will be when you go out. Jehovah will send upon you the curse, confusion, and rebuke in every undertaking of yours that you try to carry out, until you have been annihilated and have perished in a hurry, because of the badness of your practices in that you have forsaken me. Jehovah will cause pestilence to cling to you until he has exterminated you from off the ground to which you are going to take possession of it. Jehovah will strike you with tuberculosis and burning fever and inflammmanation and feverish heat and the sword and scorching and mildew, and they will certainly pursue you until you have perished. Your skys that are over your head must also become copper, and the earth that is beneath you iron. Jehovah will give powder and dust as the rain of your land. From the heavens it will come down upon you until you have been annihilated. Jehovah will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. By one way you will go out against them, but by sven ways you will flee before them: and you must become a frightful object to all the earths kingdoms.And your dead body must become food for every flying creatur eof the heavens and to the beasts of the field,with no one to make them tremble. Jehovah will strike you with the boil of egypt and piles and eczema and skin eruption from which you will not be able to be healed. Jehovah will strike you with madness and loss of sight and bewilderment of heart. And you will indeed be one who gropes about at midday, just as a blind man gropes about in the gloom, and you will not make your ways successful,and you must become only one who is always defrauded and robbed, with no one to save you. You will become engaged to a woman, but another man will rape her. You will build a house but you will not dwell in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will noy begin to use it. Your bull slaughtered there before your eyes- but you will not eat any of it. Your ass taken in robbery before your face- but it will not return to you. Your sheep given to your enemies- but you will have no savior. Your sons and daughters given to other people and your eyes looking on and yearning for them always but your hands will be without power. The fruitage of your ground and all your production a people will eat whom you have not known, and you must be the one who is defrauded and crushed always. And you will certainly become maddened at the sight your eyes will see. Jehova will strike you with a malignanat boil upon both knees and both legs from which you will not be able to be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head. Jehovah will march you and your king whom you will set up over you a nation whom you have not known, ...... well you get the idea. |

... I was going to write the whole chapter, but there are still about 30
verses left. (thirty verses of curses)??? ...thoughts.. God is Love? Happpy happy joy joy? No worries? touchey feely? True unless you dont play by his rules. He doesent just ignore you but has been known to actively punish wrongdoers. Safety tip from Rambill |

Rambill, glad you are still at it my friend. I have to say I admire your

I guess you could say that I "interpete" the Bible literally. I read
what it says and go with it. dont really have a favorite version of the Bible, I usually read the KJV, The New world translation, and a 1611 version old KJV. |

Ramhill,
Let the Apostles arise! Let the Evangelist arise! Let the Pastors arise! Let the Prophets arise! Let the Teachers arise! Let the Prayer Warriors arise! Let the Intercessors arise! Let the Worshippers arise! It's on Ramhill! We're taking the nations for Jesus! |
