Moses message to People of Israel before they Crossed into promised Land at the end of his life
Towards the very end, in the final months of Moses life as the Israelites were encamped in the plains of Moab, prior to their entrance into the promised land. The people were facing war as they were about to fight their way into the promised land and a new settled way of life. These were the people of the new generation Who had not experienced the parting of the Red Sea or the giving of the Law at Sinai. In Moses’s final speeches to the people He prophesized the great blessing that they would receive upon entering the promised land and how the blessisng would continue as long as the were obedient to Gods word and the Law of the ten commandments that God gave to Moses for the people of Israel. Moses also gave the prophecy of what would take place if they fell away into the sin of worshipping idols and other gods. This message goes from Deuteronomy 28-32 giving Prophecies of event right up to and including the People of this generation who are about to enter into the Kingdom of God, of the new Hevens and earth.
Deuteronomy 28
Time about 1410 BC when Moses speaks:
1 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.
About 956 BC:
Soloman received Great financial blessings and great prosperity during his life and He had 300 wives and 700 concubines that he loved. He had many foreign wives and concubines who worshiped Baal and Ashtor-etth. Upon Solomans death, Gods judgment began falling upon Israel because Solomon had gone after Ashtor-eth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
1 Kings 11:5 For Solomon went after Ashtor-eth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
Rehoboam Solomans son took over the kingdom when Soloman died, at that time the kingdom was still made up of all 12 tribes but was divided spiritually between the tribes of Judah and Benjamin separate from the other ten tribes. Soloman had a rival among the 10 tribes a valiant man named Jeroboam that Soloman threatened to kill who had fled to Egypt for safety.
The elders of the ten tribes ask Rehoboam to be more lenient and treat the ten northern tribes in a kinder manner. After 3 days Rehoboam Responded, 2 Chronicles 10:11 “For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”
This was the beginning of the terrible thing happening to Israel that Moses prophecised. Jeroboam returned from Egypt and the 10 northern tribes separated from Judah and established Samaria as their land still calling themselves Israel but worshiping other God other than the God of David.
