Son, any nation that lives by My commands will be set high above all the nations of the world. Wherever they go and whatever they do, they will be blessed. I will guarantee a blessing on everything they do. Their land will be called a blessed land. I will establish them as My holy people, and all the nations of the world will stand in awe of them. I will make them the head, not the tail.
When a new generation comes up that refuses to follow My commands, pay close attention! Let all the people of the land and all surrounding nations listen! Let the whole earth hear. For I will bring accusations against them, and I am coming!
Because this new generation has refused to listen, all these things will come and overwhelm them. They will become an object of horror, ridicule, and mockery. Foreigners living among them will become stronger and stronger, while they become weaker and weaker. They will live in bondage to others until they are destroyed. Their hearts will tremble, and their souls will be in despair. Their lives will be constantly unbalanced because of fear. They will be unsure, and no longer walk around proudly; for it will be a terrible time.
People will tell you not to say such things. Such disasters will never come our way! Don’t talk that way, tell us about the joys of rebellion and indulgence; for that is what we want to hear. Tell them I have no patience with such behavior! If they do what is right, then they will find My words comforting, but they have filled this land with sin and ruined it completely.
I came to seek and save those who are lost. So listen to My voice for it echoes above the sea. My voice is powerful and majestic. By My voice I can make the earth shake, and in My Temple everyone shouts, “Glory!”
Lord thank you that You give Your people strength, and bless them with peace. Thank You that Your anger lasts only a moment, but Your favor lasts a lifetime! Your favor has made me secure, and I will give You thanks forever!
