The Lord’s Curses — Part 1
Deu 28:15-16 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
The word “cursed” is from the Hebrew “aw-rar'” and means “to execrate.” That is not a commonly used English word, so its definition in the Webster’s dictionary is “L. execror, from ex and sacer, the primary sense of which is to separate. Literally, to curse; to denounce evil against, or to imprecate evil on; hence, to detest utterly; to abhor; to abominate.”
When God’s People turn away from His Law and go into apostasy, He literally hates that. He starts out by declaring that we will suffer evil when dwelling in cities, and suffer evil when we live on farms and ranches.
Deu 28:17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
Our crops will be overcome with trouble, producing little, and our storage for the winter will be insufficient so that we and our families go hungry.
Deu 28:18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
Our children will be sick or deformed or become trouble makers, and the produce of our gardens will be diseased, and the offspring of our oxen and sheep will be sick or deformed and useless.
Deu 28:19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
We will be despised when we come into our houses and despised when we go out of our houses.
Our Lord’s curses first of all are directed at the false preachers and teachers who take the people’s money, but instead of feeding them with The Bread of Life, they give them garbage to eat ripping them off. But the people willingly pay their money to slick con-artists who make nice sounding speeches with the invented traditions and doctrines passed down from generations before them which contradict God’s Word right and left, and therefore they are without excuse.
The Lord’s People are Word of God people, not Bow-Down-In-Worship-Of-Men people which is idolatry.
Whosoever has eyes to see and ears to hear, let him hear.
The Lord’s Curses — Part 2
Deu 28:20 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
The word “wickedness” is from the Hebrew “ro’-ah” which means “badness (as marring), physically or morally.”
The phrase “thou hast forsaken me” refers to “apostasy” or falling away from obeying God’s Law of Love.
Deu 28:21 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.
The word “pestilence” is from “deh’-ber” which means “(in the sense of destroying); a pestilence.” Locusts are a form of pestilence, and although a clean food to eat, were always representative of destruction of livelihood, because they would swarm and move like a cloud over a wheat field devouring all the grain and leave only the worthless stems behind them.
Deu 28:22 The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
The word “consumption” is from “shakh-eh’-feth” and means “emaciation” which according to Webster means “The act of making lean or thin in flesh; or a becoming lean by a gradual waste of flesh.”
Deu 28:23 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.
We have a common expression today that indicates being trapped in overwhelming and inescapable trouble, “between a rock and a hard place,” which was taken from this verse.
Deu 28:24 The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
The word “destroyed” is from “shaw-mad’ and means “to desolate.”
Deu 28:25 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
The Lord promised that if Israel, consisting of twelve tribes, fell into apostasy against His Law, then He would scatter them among all of the heathen, that is, among all the races of mankind, so that they would no longer be a sovereign nation on earth. This prophecy was fulfilled when the ten Northern Tribes were taken into slavery by the Assyrians and when freed migrated North over the Caucasus mountains and then north and west over Europe. The two Southern Tribes were taken into slavery by the Babylonians and when freed also migrated North over the Caucasus mountains.

The Lord’s Curses — Part 3
Deu 28:26-27 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away. The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
The word “botch” is from the Hebrew “shekh-een'” which means “to burn; inflammation, that is, an ulcer,” which is simply “boils.”
The word “emerods” is from “o’-fel” which means “a turior; also a mound, that is, fortress,” or more properly “hemorrhoids.”
The word “scab” is from “gaw-rawb'” which means “to scratch; scurf (from itching),” and is also translated to “scurvy.”
Deu 28:28-29 The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart: And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
All will be lost, wealth, prosperity, physical and mental health, and freedom.
Deu 28:30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.
No profit will be gained from any work to have anything of value, a wife, a house, or even a vineyard.
Deu 28:31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.
Obviously, enemies will take or destroy everything.
Deu 28:32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.
The children will be taken into slavery. Other people will deceive them and take their loyalty away from their parents.
Whosoever has eyes to see and ears to hear, let him hear.
The Lord’s Curses — Part 4
Deu 28:33-37 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway: So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
The Lord promised Israel to scatter them, all twelve tribes, among the heathen if they turned away from Him into apostasy.
Deu 28:38-44 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it. Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them. Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit. Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity. All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume. The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
There will be no profit from any work or endeavor, and the children will all go into slavery. Foreigners will become powerful and dominant, ruling over them. Foreigners will become bankers lending money at interest and enslave all of them with debt.
Whosoever has eyes to see and ears to hear. let him hear.
The Lord’s Curses — Part 5
Deu 28:45-47 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
All of these curses are “for a sign and for a wonder” upon God’s People until the very end of this flesh world.
The word “sign” is from the Hebrew “oth” and means “a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.”
And the word “wonder” is from “mo-faith'” and means “a miracle; by implication a token or omen.”
Therefore all of these curses will become a Miraculous Monument for all of the descendants of Israel to see throughout their generations until the end of the world. Note that all who are in Christ Jesus are now of Israel in the spiritual sense, so God’s curses upon apostate Israel also apply to us today. Therefore, when these curses fall upon us today as Christians, we must realize that they are occurring, not because we are doing wrong, but because they are fulfillment of our Lord’s prophecy against our forefathers as a miraculous sign to convince us that God’s Word is True in these last days.
Deu 28:48-52 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young: And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee. And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
The Assyrians took the ten Northern Tribes captive and later the Babylonians took the two Southern Tribes captive.
Deu 28:53-57 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee: So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave: So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
During the siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonians, the famine was so great that the people were starving. They actually did eat their own children. Is there any greater degradation of humanity that parents boil their own children and eat them because they are so devastated and hungry?
Whosoever has eyes to see and ears to hear, let them hear.
The Lord’s Curses — Part 6
Deu 28:58-61 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
Israel is plagued today by new man-made diseases, new viruses and bacteria made in bio-weapons laboratories by our governments and unleashed upon us to make us sick and diseased, so that the pharmaceutical corporations can make billions pretending to “treat” us in our afflictions. These are those “sicknesses and plagues not written in The Book.”
Again, this is a miraculous sign to show us The Truth of God’s Word.
Deu 28:62-64 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God. And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
Israel would learn to worship Baal and Molech and Ishtar (Easter), which it continues to do even to this day. Fornication, homosexual perversion, and human sacrifice are the foundation of the greatest religion among the rich and powerful in these last days, which also permeates all of the so-called “Christian” religions through their dogmatic traditions and doctrines that contradict God’s Word. The blood sacrifice of sixty million babies by America to Satan and to his ways is a witness against our once great nation. America has a lot of innocent blood on its head and cannot escape our Lord’s Judgment. The Satanic rich and powerful have maintained their command and control of the public religions throughout history, and they have demonstrated their continued control over the churches of America by keeping the people asleep, spiritually, while this genocide was being done before their eyes. This is all in fulfillment of God’s Curse upon Israel for their apostasy (and of course, for our own).
Deu 28:65-68 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
Israel was in slavery in Egypt for four hundred years which was according to the prophesy The Lord gave to Abraham. Then The Lord sent Moses to Egypt to bring His People out of slavery into The Promised Land, a land of “milk and honey.” The Lord references Egypt here as a type of slavery the people would suffer again if they rebelled and went into apostasy. They knew the penalty, but rebelled and fell into idolatry anyway. And now America, once the greatest Christian nation on earth according to God’s Blessings, has fallen into apostasy. Know what is next.
