Deuteronomy 28:36-57; Nov 6, 2022; Cursed is the Nation that Shuns God

We continue this week in our study of the extended portion of Deuteronomy 28 in which God revealed to the Israelites what “…shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today…” (Deuteronomy 28:15).
Today’s passage foretold the horrific conditions that would ensue when a nation continued in its rejection of God including societal chaos, defeat in war, crop-destroying insects, siege, severe famine that drove people to cannibalism, and eventual deportation from the Promised Land. Pastor Dustin explains that, according to the “spiritual mathematics” that govern the universe He created, blessings come to a nation that honors and obeys God; increasingly severe curses befall the nation that rebels against Him. Despite these warnings, both the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel fell into idolatry and sexual depravity like the nations around them, and these consequences were literally fulfilled in the history of Israel up to the time of the Assyrian captivity of the northern kingdom in 722 B.C. and the Babylonian captivity of the southern kingdom in 586 B.C.
