Leviticus Chapter 26- We are not our own, we've been bought at a price. 1 Corinthians 6:20

The Israelites were bought by God with the same price that we have been bought-the precious blood of Christ. So, since both Israel and Christians are bonded to God in a covenant of the blood of Christ, we should take heed that we walk in the way of God, for the blessings of God are manifold, not just for this life, but especially in the life to come. God's chosen people have an inheritance waiting in heaven that is beyond what we could ask or think. Nothing on earth compares to what God has in store for us! It is this eternal inheritance that caused God to call the Israelites sojourners as well as us. We are all looking forward to that better heavenly country. Heb 11:16; Rom. 9:22-23; Eph. 2:4-7

To live in the blessing of God is the best place to be altogether. Disobedience severs one from the blessing God desires for us and can bring many unpleasant and treacherous things to befall one who take lightly God's command for o44bedience and presumes upon the covenant promised to those chosen.

Verses 14-44 itemizes a long list of curses for disobedience. These consequences increase in severity (7 times over) with each step of discipline that God would bring upon the Israelites until they repent.

First, terror and wasting diseases will come upon them

Next, others will eat of the seed they sow. These enemies will defeat them in battle. They will be reigned over by those who hate them.

If they did not repent, God would punish them 7 times more for their sin.

He will break their pride of their power

He will make the heavens like iron and the earth like bronze so that the fields sown will not get watered from rain nor will the soil yield to the growth of a seed and be too hard for the plants to live. The trees will not yield fruit.

Then, if they do not repent, he will increase the punishment 7 times more.

He will cause more plagues to come upon them.

Leviticus Chapter 26, verses 1-13 God blesses those who honor and obey Him.

This chapter speaks of the blessings and curses that will come to the Israelites concerning keeping God's commands or disobeying Him. In verses 1-2 God reinforces three commandments He requires the Israelites to obey:

Forbidden to make idols of any kind, (pillars, wooden statues, carved stone images), Forbidden to bow down to them in worship.

For YHWH is the only LORD God of the Israelites. They are to worship Him alone. So are we.

They are to keep the Sabbaths commanded by God.

.

They are to have reverence for the sanctuary in which God dwells.

Verse 3 begins the promise of blessings for walking in God's statutes and keeping of His commandments, performing them as proscribed.

The Blessings:

Rain in its season; the land will yield a harvest from the crops and trees. The supply of food and wine will be a full measure to last them from harvest to harvest. They will have bread to eat and remain dwelling in the land promised.

God will give them peace in their land and they will dwell in it safely. The land will be ridden of wild beasts that could harm them. Safety from enemies who would come upon them with sword and weaponry. The chasing of enemies who will fall by the sword of the Israelites when they come to do war with God's people. They will have unprecedented victories over their enemies.

Fruifulness of the womb of the Israelites. They will increase in number. God will confirm His covenant with them (the one to Abraham that his descendants would be as the stars of the heavens).

They will eat from the old harvest and clear it out before they bring in the new harvest.

He will set His Tabernacle among the Israelites and dwell with them in the land. God will not abhor them, He will be their God and they, His people, abiding in this covenant relationship full of blessings.

In verse 13, YHWH reminds them that it was He who brought them out of Egypt, delivering them from slavery.
