And the Lord uprooted them from their land in anger and fury and great wrath, cast them into another land, as it is this day.’”<br />
<br />
This is such a profoundly, mysterious work of God that verse 29 says, “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law.” There are some things God keeps secret. Listen, this isn’t one of them; that’s what that verse is saying. This is not one of them. God tells a nation how to live.<br />
<br />
Verse 1 of chapter 30: “So it shall be when all of these things have come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind in all nations where the Lord your God has banished you.” In other words, take this message to every nation that you ever set foot in. Why? Because God has the same standard for all nations.<br />
<br />
Israel is the witness nation to the world that God blesses obedience and curses disobedience. It is not a badge of honor that the United States of America is so relentlessly devoted to separating the church and the state. That is a destructive division. Israel was to be the witness to the world of what happens when you obey and what happens when you disobey, and they have played that role. Times of obedience, they were blessed. Times of disobedience, they were cursed.<br />
<br />
Deuteronomy 30 is a very important chapter, by the way, because there’s a promise here you need to hear, verse 2: “And you return to the Lord your God and obey him with all your heart and soul according to all that I command you today, you and your sons, then the Lord your God will restore you from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you.” That’s the future. That’s going to happen in the future.<br />
<br />
“The outcasts – ” verse 4 “ – are going to be gathered from the ends of the earth.” The Lord is going to bring them back to their land. That, of course, will be fulfilled in the coming of Christ at His return, and the establishment of the messianic kingdom.<br />
<br />
This powerful message of blessing and cursing comes to a culmination down at the end of chapter 30, verse 15: “I have set before you today life and prosperity, death and adversity; in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply, and that the Lord your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it. But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall surely perish. <br />
<br />
You will not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess it. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.” “You obey Me, you’ll prosper, you’ll live in the land. You disobey Me, you’ll perish, perish.”
