Now
is what I AM Commanding you today
Is
not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.
It
is not up in Heaven, so that you have to ask,
'Who
will Ascend into Heaven to get it
And
Proclaim it to us so we may Obey it?'
Nor
is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask,
'Who
will cross the sea to get it
And
Proclaim it to us so we may Obey it.
SEE,
I SET BEFORE YOU TODAY LIFE AND PROSPERITY,
DEATH
AND DESTRUCTION.
For
I Command you today to Love the Lord your God,
To
Walk in His Ways, and to Keep His Commands, Decrees and Laws;
Then
you will LIVE and increase,
And
the Lord your God will BLESS YOU
In
the Land you are entering to Possess.
But
if your heart Turns Away and if you are Not Obedient,
And
if you are drawn Away
To
Bow Down to other “gods” and worship them,
I
DECLARE TO YOU THIS DAY THAT YOU WILL CERTAINLY BE DESTROYED.
You
will Not live long in the Land
You
are crossing the Jordan to enter and Possess.
THIS
DAY I CALL HEAVEN AND EARTH AS WITNESSES AGAINST YOU
THAT
I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU LIFE AND DEATH,
BLESSINGS
AND CURSES.
NOW
CHOOSE LIFE,
So
that you and your children may LIVE
And
you may Love the Lord your God,
Listen
to His Voice, and Hold Fast to Him.
FOR
THE LORD IS YOUR LIFE,
And
He will give you many years
In
the Land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
(Deuteronomy
30:11-20)
Here
the Lord presents the Gospel to Israel;
That
if they are Obedient to His Commands they will LIVE,
And if
Not they will DIE.
They
can CHOOSE LIFE and PROSPERITY
Or
DEATH and DESTRUCTION—BLESSINGS or CURSES.
This
is True for Individuals and for Nations.
FOR
THERE IS ONLY ONE LIFE IN ALL THAT EXISTS,
An
that LIFE is God Himself, by His Spirit;
Today,
Christ in us the Hope of Glory. (Colossians 1:27)
THERE
IS NO OTHER HOPE IN THIS WORLD.
There
is only One Path to this HOPE,
And
that Path is OBEDIENCE!
If we
are OBEDIENT to God and His Commands we have HOPE
And we
have his LIFE, His Spirit, Christ in us.
God
Almighty has set before every Living Person, LIFE and DEATH,
DEATH
and DESTRUCTION—BLESSINGS or CURSES.
God
Almighty has set before every NATION, LIFE and DEATH,
DEATH
and DESTRUCTION—BLESSINGS or CURSES.
And
Every Person and Every Nation CHOOSES which will be their Path.
