WARNING

(IMPLYING GRACE)

(2)

Scripture Reading: Deut. 28

In this message we will continue to consider the warning (implying grace) in chapters twenty-seven and twenty-eight.

II. THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL LISTENING DILIGENTLY
TO THE VOICE OF JEHOVAH THEIR GOD AND DOING
ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS, AND JEHOVAH
SETTING THEM HIGH ABOVE ALL THE NATIONS,
AND ALL THE BLESSINGS COMING
UPON THEM AND OVERTAKING THEM

If the children of Israel listened diligently to the voice of Jehovah their God and were certain to do all His commandments, Jehovah their God would set them high above all the nations, and all the blessings would come upon them and overtake them (28:1-2).

A. Being Blessed in the City and in the Field

The children of Israel would be blessed in the city and in the field (v. 3). Whether they were at home or at work, they would be blessed.

B. Blessed Being the Fruit
of Their Womb, of Their Ground,
and of Their Animals, the Offspring
of Their Cattle and the Young of Their Flock

In speaking of the blessing coming upon the people, Moses was very detailed. In verses 4 and 5 he said that blessed would be the fruit of their womb, the fruit of their ground, and the fruit of their cattle and also the offspring of their cattle and the young of their flock. Moses said that even their basket and kneading bowl would be blessed.
