What have we seen since the last posting! Streets filled with chaos. The rise of Chrislam, the rise of homosexuality being forced on school children and people in general. Its like in your face type of "accept me of you'll be punished". Islam being forced on Christains and Jews alike. Crosses coming down and Churches turning into mosque. More earthquakes, famine, poverty, countries in collapsed and the abandonment of civil behaviour.

Come Lord Jesus! [clap2] [Bible] [wave3]

I agree with this conclusion. [Bible] The word is never wrong.

This is a Catholic Priest reading from the book of Apocalysis which is the same as the book of Revelation. I thought it was interesting.

Did you guys know that there are presently 5 oil leaks going on. Most know about the gulf, how about the oil like in Michigan state heading toward lake Michigan. There is also an oil leak of the coast of China as well as South Africa. That did not come out on mainstream news. And most of all the oil appears to be blood in color, or crimson flow.

I really like your post. I like to use lists as references, and this list is a good one.

But I hope we don't turn the One Year Bible Study into another board for the forum. Ezekiel 13:20 is fairly new here and may not realize the difference.

I wish we could do the One Year Study again, if people would participate. Almost all the daily readings are already posted.

REASONS FOR CURSES:

(1) Having false gods (Exodus 20: 3& 4, Deuteronomy 27: 15)

(2) Disrespect for parents (Deuteronomy 27: 16)

(3) Treachery against a neighbour (Deuteronomy 27: 17)

(4) Injustice to the weak (Deuteronomy 27: 18& 19)

(5) Illicit sex (Deuteronomy 27: 20-23)

(Effect of wrong sexual relationships, particularly those outside of marriage or with members of one's family)

(6) Perjury (Deuteronomy 27: 25)

(7) Stealing (Zechariah 5: 1-4)

(8) Stinginess towards God (Malachi 3: 9)

(9) Perverting gospel (Galatians 1: 8& 9)

(10) Depending on the flesh (Jeremiah 17: 5)

(11) Anti-Semitism (Genesis 12: 3, Genesis 28: 3& 14)

SOURCE OF CURSES: incomplete list

1. God Himself God blesses and curses (Exodus 20: 3&5) Breaking the first two commandments:

(a) To have no other Gods

(b) Idolatry

Our God is a jealous God

2. All occult practices Making occultism your God, eg a fortune teller. It is the power behind the fortune teller that matters. In four generations we can have upwards of 30 ancestors.

3. Men who speak on behalf of God

(a) Joshua 6: 26, ie Joshua said, "Cursed be the man before the Lord who rises up and builds the city Jericho, he shall lay its foundation with his firstborn, and with his youngest he shall set up its gates." This was fulfilled in 1 Kings 16: 34 nearly 500 years later when Hiel of Bethel built Jericho, he laid its foundation with Abriam, his first born, and with his youngest son Segub he set up its gates according to the Word of the Lord which he had spoken through Joshua the son of Nun. Thus curses are self-perpetuating.

(b) 2 Samuel 1: 21 Statement by David: "Oh mountains of Gilboa, Let there be no dew, nor let there be rain upon you, Nor fields of offerings.

For the shield of the mighty is cast away there!" These were the fields of Gilboa upon which Saul and Jonathan had died and David was cursing them. Nearly 3, 000 years later this same curse was upon this land and the Jewish people had great difficulty a few years ago in trying to get trees to grow on it.

(c) 2 Kings 5 (Naaman) verse 27, cursed his servant with leprosy forever.

4. God's servants can do this today eg Jesus cursed the fig tree and said, "You can do this also."

Whether environmental problems are another sign is speculative. Matthew 24 kind a mentions earthquakes, famines, diseases as increasing problem toward the end of this age. Therefore I would conclude yes environmental problems are another sign.

(Mat 24:3 NKJV) Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"

(Mat 24:7 NKJV) For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

(Mat 24:8 NKJV) All these are the beginning of sorrows.

(Mat 24:9 NKJV) "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake.
