Parsha “Ki Tavo,” (Devarim or Deuteronomy 26:1-29:8) is arguably the most well-known, and fearsome, catalog of blessings, and especially, cursings, in all of Scriture.
The Erev Shabbat reading literally lays out the case for the fact that are not only well-deserved, but already “in progress” for a nation which has turned from YHVH, and is in fact “jonesin’ fer judgment.”
But that is just the beginning.
WARNING: This is yet another reading in the continuing series that you will certainly NOT hear in sun-god-day school. And the fact that the curses are so well-deserved, and so lied about, is the reason why we had better be paying attention.
Only this world doesn’t. Not even close. And that is why this reading should be such a jarring “eye-opener.” The promised curses are arguably well-under way, and the rest close at hand,
In the Sabbath day midrash, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa literally lays out the case for judgment, based on what the Whore Church as done not only IN SPITE of His Word, but TO it.
The curses outlined are specific to what can happen – and DID – when those who failed to “keep My commandments failed to do so, and were, as promised, kicked out of the land.
But there are other curses, too, for things generally done in secret. At least, they were. Now they are open, and even “proud” of ’em.
And Mark suggests that there is a good case to be made that the curses are still “on the table.” And what we have already seen, and are seeing, makes an even stronger case that there is more to come.
And His people should plan accordingly.
Ki Tavo: “When you have been KICKED OUT of the Land – Do the Curses Still Count?”
