God is the Author of The African American Condition.
God is the Author of The African American Condition.
Most of my articles involve me making certain points and observations and supporting them with scripture. most of the articles could be construed as my own interpretation, although I don't feel that is the case. Be that as it may I decided to incorporate mini Bible lessons and put more emphasis on what the word of God says directly from the Holy Scriptures and let you the reader come to your own conclusion. I believe that God's main concern is the Lost Sheep of Israel which I believe consists of the African Americans. So when I read God's word I believe he is talking directly to me and my brothers and sisters who are scattered around this country and the entire world. However God is not a respecter of persons. He will destroy any who refuses to adhere to his statutes and he will accept any who humbly submit to his laws no matter what the nationality.
Too many Black and White Preachers prophecy smooth and sentimental messages that do not alarm the soul regarding its peril. They attribute the calamities and disasters to Satan as if he is doing everything to thwart the will of God on Earth. This is only a partial truth. A lot of calamities and cruelties inflicted own us come from God Himself. Why!? you ask. It is because we embrace everything evil and we still think we are operating within His will. We are not, and because of that God is operating as Our ENEMY. Yes our enemy.This is not some trite commentary on my part it is stated in Lamentations Chapter 2. We will look at verses 1-5. ( ONE KEY TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN STUDYING GOD'S WORD IS WHEN HE SPEAKS OF JUDAH, ISRAEL, JERUSALEM, JACOB, OR ZION REALIZE HE IS TALKING TO YOU , NOT SOME ANCIENT AND FARAWAY NATION FROM A BYGONE ERA BUT YOU, THE DESCENDANTS OF HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE.)
Lam 2:1
How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!
Lam 2:2
The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.
Lam 2:3
He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.
Lam 2:4
He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.
Lam 2:5
The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
If you don't believe me maybe you will believe HIS WORD.
In order to begin to understand Why I know God is Rendering Judgment on our people right now we must go to Deuteronomy chapter 28. In verses 1-14 God describes to Israel the blessing she will receive if her people obey His statutes. However in the rest of the chapter He describes how he will curse Israel for disobedience and the curses described are nothing pleasant.
[And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the ] Lord[ thy God, to observe ] and[ to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the ] Lord[ thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:]
2[And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the ] Lord[ thy God.
3[Blessed ] shalt[ thou ] be[ in the city, and blessed ] shalt[ thou ] be[ in the field.]
4[Blessed ] shall be[ the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.]
5[Blessed ] shall be[ thy basket and thy store.]
6[Blessed ] shalt[ thou ] be[ when thou comest in, and blessed ] shalt[ thou ] be[ when thou goest out.]
7[The ] Lord[ shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.]
8[The ] Lord[ shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the ] Lord[ thy God giveth thee.]
9[The ] Lord[ shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the ] Lord[ thy God, and walk in his ways.]
10[And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the ] Lord[; and they shall be afraid of thee.]
11[And the ] Lord[ shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the ] Lord[ sware unto thy fathers to give thee.]
12[The ] Lord[ shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.]
13[And the ] Lord[ shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the ] Lord[ thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do ] them[:]
14[And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, ] to[ the right hand, or ] to[ the left, to go after other gods to serve them.]
As You have just read God would have made his obedient children the head of all the nations on earth. They would have been responsible for ushering in his kingdom in the here and now. We would have been called blessed of the Most High but we are like a fickle and whorish woman that doesn't know how good she had it with her husband so we go looking for something we think is better. So God describes what he will do to his children if They DISOBEY, now after you read this ask yourself what people fits the description of all the plights that are described in the rest of this chapter.
15But 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:
16[Cursed ] shalt[ thou ] be[ in the city, and cursed ] shalt[ thou ] be[ in the field.]
17[Cursed ] shall be[ thy basket and thy store.]
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.]
19[Cursed ] shalt[ thou ] be[ when thou comest in, and cursed ] shalt[ thou ] be[ when thou goest out.]
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.]
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.]
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.]
23[And thy heaven that ] is[ over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee ] shall be[ iron.]
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.]
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.]
26[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.]
27[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.]
28[The ] Lord[ shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:]
29[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[.]
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.]
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[.]
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.]
33[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:]
34[So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.]
35[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.]
36[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.]
37[And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the ] Lord[ shall lead thee.]
38[Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather ] but[ little in; for the locust shall consume it.]
39[Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress ] them[, but shalt neither drink ] of[ the wine, nor gather ] the grapes[; for the worms shall eat them.]
40[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[.]
41[Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.]
42[All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.]
43[The stranger that ] is[ within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.]
44[He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.]
45[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:]
46[And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.]
47[Because thou servedst not the ] Lord[ thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all ] things[;]
48[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.]
49[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;]
50[A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:]
51[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.]
52[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.]
53[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:]
54So 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:]
55[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.]
56[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,]
57[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.]
58[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;]
59[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.]
60[Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.]
61[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.]
62[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.]
63[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.]
64[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.]
65[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:]
66[And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:]
67[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.]
68[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[.]
It is the Lord God of Heaven who is rendering judgment on the lost seed of Israel because of our manifold iniquities and our refusal to obey his statutes. It is he that has allowed the heathen to rule over us, it is at his hand that violence and disease removes us from the earth. Think not o evil nation of African America that you are somehow special in the eyes of Jehovah . Think not that you can do as you please and still be at peace. You cannot, I cannot. The Lord he is God and God alone. There is none else. He sent his son Yeshua to be a propitiation for our sins. He has given us his holy spirit. He has done all that is necessary for our salvation and happiness, yet we refuse to give him glory. Ezekiel 7 describes what God really plans for us TODAY if we do not repent. It says:
Eze 7:1 ¶ Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 7:2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
Eze 7:3 Now [is] the end [come] upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
Eze 7:4 And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Eze 7:5 ¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
Eze 7:6 An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.
Eze 7:7 The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble [is] near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
Eze 7:8 Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.
Eze 7:9 And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations [that] are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD that smiteth.
Eze 7:10 ¶ Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
Eze 7:11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither [shall there be] wailing for them.
Eze 7:12 The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof.
Eze 7:13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision [is] touching the whole multitude thereof, [which] shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
Eze 7:14 They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof.
Eze 7:15 The sword [is] without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that [is] in the field shall die with the sword; and he that [is] in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
Eze 7:16 ¶ But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.
Eze 7:17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak [as] water.
Eze 7:18 They shall also gird [themselves] with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame [shall be] upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
Eze 7:19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
Eze 7:20 ¶ As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations [and] of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.
Eze 7:21 And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
Eze 7:22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret [place]: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
Eze 7:23 ¶ Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
Eze 7:24 Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.
Eze 7:25 Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and [there shall be] none.
Eze 7:26 Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
Eze 7:27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Noah, Daniel, and Job. Even if they were dwelling in the land the lord would not spare it. Only they would be saved.
Eze 14:1 ¶ Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.
Eze 14:2 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 14:3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
Eze 14:4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;
Eze 14:5 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
Eze 14:6 ¶ Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn [yourselves] from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
Eze 14:7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
Eze 14:8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Eze 14:9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
Eze 14:10 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh [unto him];
Eze 14:11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 14:12 ¶ The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
Eze 14:13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
Eze 14:14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver [but] their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 14:15 ¶ If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:
Eze 14:16 [Though] these three men [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
Eze 14:17 ¶ Or [if] I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
Eze 14:18 Though these three men [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
Eze 14:19 ¶ Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
Eze 14:20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall [but] deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
Eze 14:21 ¶ For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
Eze 14:22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, [both] sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, [even] concerning all that I have brought upon it.
Eze 14:23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
He is calling you out as well Black Woman. Wake up sister, you are playing right into the devils hand
Isa 32:9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
Isa 32:10 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
Isa 32:11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] upon [your] loins.
Isa 32:12 They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
Isa 32:13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns [and] briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy [in] the joyous city:
Isa 32:14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
God's word is sure. He is NOT MOCKED.Our lives are a witness to that fact. Consider what you have just read and pray to God for the spirit of REPENTANCE.

A lot of calamities and cruelties inflicted own us come from God Himself. Why!? you ask. It is because we embrace everything evil and we still think we are operating within His will.

Lam 2:1
How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!
Lam 2:2
The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.
Lam 2:3
He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.
Lam 2:4
He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.
Lam 2:5
The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
If you don't believe me maybe you will believe HIS WORD.
In order to begin to understand Why I know God is Rendering Judgment on our people right now we must go to Deuteronomy chapter 28. In verses 1-14 God describes to Israel the blessing she will receive if her people obey His statutes. However in the rest of the chapter He describes how he will curse Israel for disobedience and the curses described are nothing pleasant.
[And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the ] Lord[ thy God, to observe ] and[ to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the ] Lord[ thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:]
2[And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the ] Lord[ thy God.
3[Blessed ] shalt[ thou ] be[ in the city, and blessed ] shalt[ thou ] be[ in the field.]
4[Blessed ] shall be[ the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.]
5[Blessed ] shall be[ thy basket and thy store.]
6[Blessed ] shalt[ thou ] be[ when thou comest in, and blessed ] shalt[ thou ] be[ when thou goest out.]
7[The ] Lord[ shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.]
8[The ] Lord[ shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the ] Lord[ thy God giveth thee.]
9[The ] Lord[ shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the ] Lord[ thy God, and walk in his ways.]
10[And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the ] Lord[; and they shall be afraid of thee.]
11[And the ] Lord[ shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the ] Lord[ sware unto thy fathers to give thee.]
12[The ] Lord[ shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.]
13[And the ] Lord[ shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the ] Lord[ thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do ] them[:]
14[And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, ] to[ the right hand, or ] to[ the left, to go after other gods to serve them.]
As You have just read God would have made his obedient children the head of all the nations on earth. They would have been responsible for ushering in his kingdom in the here and now. We would have been called blessed of the Most High but we are like a fickle and whorish woman that doesn't know how good she had it with her husband so we go looking for something we think is better. So God describes what he will do to his children if They DISOBEY, now after you read this ask yourself what people fits the description of all the plights that are described in the rest of this chapter.
15But 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:
16[Cursed ] shalt[ thou ] be[ in the city, and cursed ] shalt[ thou ] be[ in the field.]
17[Cursed ] shall be[ thy basket and thy store.]
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.]
19[Cursed ] shalt[ thou ] be[ when thou comest in, and cursed ] shalt[ thou ] be[ when thou goest out.]
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.]
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.]
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.]
23[And thy heaven that ] is[ over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee ] shall be[ iron.]
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.]
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.]
26[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.]
27[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.]
28[The ] Lord[ shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:]
29[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[.]
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.]
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[.]
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.]
33[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:]
34[So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.]
35[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.]
36[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.]
37[And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the ] Lord[ shall lead thee.]
38[Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather ] but[ little in; for the locust shall consume it.]
39[Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress ] them[, but shalt neither drink ] of[ the wine, nor gather ] the grapes[; for the worms shall eat them.]
40[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[.]
41[Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.]
42[All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.]
43[The stranger that ] is[ within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.]
44[He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.]
45[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:]
46[And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.]
47[Because thou servedst not the ] Lord[ thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all ] things[;]
48[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.]
49[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;]
50[A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:]
51[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.]
52[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.]
53[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:]
54So 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:]
55[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.]
56[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,]
57[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.]
58[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;]
59[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.]
60[Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.]
61[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.]
62[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.]
63[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.]
64[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.]
65[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:]
66[And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:]
67[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.]
68[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[.]
It is the Lord God of Heaven who is rendering judgment on the lost seed of Israel because of our manifold iniquities and our refusal to obey his statutes. It is he that has allowed the heathen to rule over us, it is at his hand that violence and disease removes us from the earth. Think not o evil nation of African America that you are somehow special in the eyes of Jehovah . Think not that you can do as you please and still be at peace. You cannot, I cannot. The Lord he is God and God alone. There is none else. He sent his son Yeshua to be a propitiation for our sins. He has given us his holy spirit. He has done all that is necessary for our salvation and happiness, yet we refuse to give him glory. Ezekiel 7 describes what God really plans for us TODAY if we do not repent. It says:
Eze 7:1 ¶ Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 7:2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
Eze 7:3 Now [is] the end [come] upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
Eze 7:4 And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Eze 7:5 ¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
Eze 7:6 An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.
Eze 7:7 The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble [is] near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
Eze 7:8 Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.
Eze 7:9 And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations [that] are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD that smiteth.
Eze 7:10 ¶ Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
Eze 7:11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither [shall there be] wailing for them.
Eze 7:12 The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof.
Eze 7:13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision [is] touching the whole multitude thereof, [which] shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
Eze 7:14 They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof.
Eze 7:15 The sword [is] without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that [is] in the field shall die with the sword; and he that [is] in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
Eze 7:16 ¶ But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.
Eze 7:17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak [as] water.
Eze 7:18 They shall also gird [themselves] with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame [shall be] upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
Eze 7:19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
Eze 7:20 ¶ As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations [and] of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.
Eze 7:21 And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
Eze 7:22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret [place]: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
Eze 7:23 ¶ Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
Eze 7:24 Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.
Eze 7:25 Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and [there shall be] none.
Eze 7:26 Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
Eze 7:27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Noah, Daniel, and Job. Even if they were dwelling in the land the lord would not spare it. Only they would be saved.
Eze 14:1 ¶ Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.
Eze 14:2 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 14:3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
Eze 14:4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;
Eze 14:5 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
Eze 14:6 ¶ Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn [yourselves] from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
Eze 14:7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
Eze 14:8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Eze 14:9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
Eze 14:10 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh [unto him];
Eze 14:11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 14:12 ¶ The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
Eze 14:13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
Eze 14:14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver [but] their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 14:15 ¶ If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:
Eze 14:16 [Though] these three men [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
Eze 14:17 ¶ Or [if] I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
Eze 14:18 Though these three men [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
Eze 14:19 ¶ Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
Eze 14:20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, [were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall [but] deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
Eze 14:21 ¶ For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
Eze 14:22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, [both] sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, [even] concerning all that I have brought upon it.
Eze 14:23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
He is calling you out as well Black Woman. Wake up sister, you are playing right into the devils hand
Isa 32:9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
Isa 32:10 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
Isa 32:11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] upon [your] loins.
Isa 32:12 They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
Isa 32:13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns [and] briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy [in] the joyous city:
Isa 32:14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
God's word is sure. He is NOT MOCKED.Our lives are a witness to that fact. Consider what you have just read and pray to God for the spirit of REPENTANCE.
