Summer Talk {Scriptural} Reruns

D.C. al Coda – if your heart turns away..
It was part of Moses’ warning, wasn’t it? The LORD will bless you, BUT IF YOUR HEART TURNS AWAY, woe to your children cursed for your disobedience.

What’s wrong with this picture?

No, I’m not asking what’s wrong with this picture of Joshua and the men of Israel about to cross the Jordan to conquer the promised land. (Yes, they had already been disobedient to the LORD.)

I ask you what is wrong with the picture of the LORD having to remind the Hebrews about their disobedience. In fact, it is a foreshadowing of further breaking of many covenants which eventually will lead to the fall of Israel, Judah and Temple worship.

Pictures of a future curse

So when you first look at the picture of two models of worship side by side in Jerusalem ask yourself, ‘What’s wrong with this picture?’

In fact, buildings of these two religions cannot stand side by side. They oppose each other.

Worshiping the place of worship is forgetting the LORD God you claim.

You say you believe the word of the LORD to Moses, so what happened?

What made the hearts of your fathers turn away?

And why have you not gone back to the beginning of Scripture to remember that, ‘These are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel across the Jordan in the wilderness..’, my fellow child of God?

Have you forgotten their curses? Do you doubt the covenants of your fathers with the LORD, which turn upon you if you heart turns away?

“For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me.
The Good News of John 5:46 – Words of the Messiah Jesus

Scriptures

Deuteronomy 30

Thus says the LORD:
“Cursed is the man who trusts in man
and makes flesh his strength,
whose heart turns away from the LORD. –
Jeremiah 17:5

1 Kings 9, 11

Matthew 23

D.C. al Coda – Deuteronomy – But IF..
:אֵלֶּה הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר מֹשֶׁה
Devarim (Deuteronomy) 1:1a

Devarim – “These are the words..

But IF we do not remember or believe or obey, what then?
- Then Moses said, “What if they will not believe me or listen to what I say? For they may say, ‘The LORD has not appeared to you.’”
  - – Exodus 4:1
- And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people be disrespectful to Me? And how long will they not believe in Me, despite all the signs that I have performed in their midst.
  - – Numbers 14:11
God said! Moses said. Scripture said..

We’re sceptics, aren’t we?

And it’s more than just Satan tempting man, misquoting Scripture and asking, ‘Did God really say..?’

We make a promise or covenant with the LORD.

God says that HE will do this, BUT then we go and do THAT – that which the Lord God says NOT to do.

Man sins even knowing the CURSE of GOD, even as we expect the BLESSING of God given for obedience.

God calls on us to remember
BOTH blessing and curse.

Remember your sin of the past which led to curse, so that you will not fail to obey and receive the LORD’s blessing.

Scriptures

Deuteronomy 30

1 Samuel 1,2,12 excerpts

1 Kings 9

D.C. al Coda – (Deuteronomy Calls out the Ending)
Da Capo al Coda

For those of you who are not musicians: D.C. al Coda directs us to GO BACK to the BEGINNING then where indicated, GO towards the ENDING. (It’s new music resolving into an eventual final ending.)

Now you ask, what does that have to do with Scripture?

ANSWER: Scripture frequently takes us back to what we ought to have already known to interpret what will happen in the ending soon before us.

Deuteronomy Calls out the ending

Chosen or Not – Blessed or Cursed?

THE LORD warned us through Scripture (time and time again):

IF you do this, then you are blessed.

HOWEVER if you do that, then you are cursed.

History bears witness to God’s word

וַיִּשְׁמַע יְהוָה בְּקוֹל אֵלִיָּהוּ וַתָּשָׁב נֶֽפֶשׁ־הַיֶּלֶד עַל־קִרְבּוֹ וַיֶּֽחִי׃

And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
1 Kings 17:22

We continue our look back at Summer Scriptural Reruns asking questions and providing answers to life and death questions.

Although recent focus has been on Jews who ought to have known better from Scripture, today in the first of three reruns, the Messiah Jesus also points us to other examples in Scripture.

Who will save you from DEATH?

Scriptures

“But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah.. and yet Elijah was sent to none of them..
Luke 4:25a,26a NASB20

The Messiah Jesus tells us to go back to Scripture if you want to understand meaning. D.C. al Coda Read it again, then skip ahead from the Cross to the end.

1 Kings 17

Matthew 25
