Deuteronomy 11:11-12 I. The Jew was to understand from his first entry into the land of Canaan that his prosperity depended utterly on God.

DISCOURSE: 204THE GREAT ALTERNATIVEDeuteronomy 11:26-28. Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day; and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God.ON whatever occasion these words had been spoken, they must have appeared most weighty, and most important: but, as the parting address of Moses to the whole nation of Israel, when he was about to be withdrawn from them,... read more
