Deuteronomy ch 30: “the Blessing and the curse that I have presented before you…”

I entitled this Bible Study:

Deuteronomy ch 30: “the Blessing and the curse that I have presented before you…”
…Why?

I am glad you asked….

Over the previous Bible Studies, we have reviewed the fact that with Torah and HaShem, there are Blessings, Life, and Peace. While here on earth, Blessing, Life, and Peace may and do come in several different forms and from a mass array of “sources”. While everything ultimately is loosed or sent out or commanded or spoken into existence from Almighty G-d, the Blessings or Curses may seem to us humans as if they came about through human manifestation or “mother nature” or chance.

Even religious individuals or some religious teachers will claim that the “reasons” for a crime or a negative situation or event came about due to XYZ. Sadly, those so-called religious leaders won’t even mention or hint at the fact that, “Hey, do you remember this?”

Devarim ch 28: 1-2:
And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently to 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 the nations of the earth:

and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God.

or

Devarim ch 28: 13-15
And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if thou hearken to the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

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.

But it shall come to pass, if thou will not hearken to 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:

or how about….
Leviticus 25:55

For it is to Me that the Israelites are servants: they are My servants, whom I freed from the land of Egypt—I, your God יהוה.

or even…..
Leviticus 26: 42-46

Then will I remember My covenant with Jacob; I will remember also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham; and I will remember the land.

For the land shall be forsaken of them, making up for its sabbath years by being desolate of them, while they atone for their iniquity; for the abundant reason that they rejected My rules and spurned My laws.

Yet, even then, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them or spurn them so as to destroy them, annulling My covenant with them: for I יהוה am their God.

I will remember in their favor the covenant with the ancients, whom I freed from the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations to be their God: I, יהוה.

These are the laws, rules, and instructions that יהוה established, through Moses on Mount Sinai, with the Israelite people.

… just a glimpse.
