Promised Land Deuteronomy 11

Deuteronomy 11:10-12 "For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and waterdst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs: But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven: A land which the Lord thy God careth for: the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year."

v26 "Behold I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; v27 A blessing if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

Outline:
v1 Exhortation to obedience
v2 by their own experience of God's great works
v8 by promise of God's great blessings
v10 and by threatenings
v18 A careful study is required in God's words
v26 The blessing and curse is set before them

There is a pleading in this chapter for Israel to do right so that they will not loose the land they are about to go in to possess. Just obey God and do not follow after other gods and the land will be bountiful for you. But if you act like the people who are there now, the same judgment will come upon you. Remember the Lord's words and tell your children.

v31 "For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land..."

We know now that the children of Israel did turn away and it is so sad. Now, there is a great struggle for them to return and there is no peace. According to scripture (which I hope to get into in the months to come) there will be peace in Israel but not before there is more trouble.
Probably, one of the saddest passages I have ever read is about the Lord leaving the temple. He appears to leave reluctantly but cannot stay because of sin.

Ezekiel 11:23 "And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city."

The glory of the Lord departed and judgment followed.

But we are not there yet in our studies. We have yet to cover the judges, the kings and the coming of the Prince of Peace then the birth of the church.

Psalm 60:1 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again."
