"Scripture Readings for the Third Blood Moon"
Hi Sisters & Brothers,
If any of you still doubt the prophetic significance of the daily scripture readings
for the Third Blood Moon April 4th 2015 should seal the deal. Behold, the blessings
of heaven and the curses of hell foretold in scripture. Fascinating stuff,
“And qif you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being
careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, theLord
your God will set you rhigh above all the nations of the earth. 2 And
all these blessings shall come upon you and sovertake you, if you obey
the voice of the Lord your God. 3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and
tblessed shall you be in the field. 4 Blessed shall be uthe fruit of
your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your cattle, the
increase of your herds and the young of your flock. 5 Blessed shall be
your basket and your vkneading bowl. 6 Blessed shall you be wwhen you
come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.
7 “The Lord xwill cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated
before you. They shall come out against you one way and flee before you
seven ways. 8 The Lord ywill command the blessing on you in your barns
and zin all that you undertake. aAnd he will bless you in the land that
theLord your God is giving you. 9 bThe Lord will establish you as a
people holy to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you keep the
commandments of theLord your God and walk in his ways. 10 And call the
peoples of the earth shall see that you are dcalled by the name of the
Lord, and they shall beeafraid of you. 11 And fthe Lord will make you
abound in prosperity, in uthe fruit of your womb and in the fruit of
your livestock and in the fruit of your ground, within the land that the
Lord swore to your fathers to give you.12 The Lord will open to you his
good treasury, the heavens, gto give the rain to your land in its
season and hto bless all the work of your hands. And iyou shall lend to
many nations, but you shall not borrow. 13 And the Lord will make you
jthe head and not the tail, and you shall only go up and not down, if
you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you
today, being careful to do them, 14 kand if you do not turn aside from
any of the words that I command you today, to the right hand or to the
left, to go after other gods to serve them.
Curses for Disobedience
15 “But lif you will not obey the voice of the Lord your God or be
careful to do all his commandments and his statutes that I command you
today, then all these curses shall come upon you and movertake you. 16
Cursed shall you be nin the city, and cursed shall you be in the field.
17 Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. 18 Cursed shall
be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, the increase of
your herds and the young of your flock. 19 Cursed shall you be when you
come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.
20 “The Lord owill send on you curses, confusion, and pfrustration in
all that you undertake to do, quntil you are destroyed and perish
quickly on account of the evil of your deeds, because you have forsaken
me. 21 The Lordwill make rthe pestilence stick to you until he has
consumed you off the land that you are entering to take possession of
it. 22 sThe Lord will strike you with wasting disease and with fever,
inflammation and fiery heat, and with drought1 and with tblight and with
mildew. They shall pursue you until you perish. 23 And uthe heavens
over your head shall be bronze, and the earth under you shall be iron.
24 The Lord will make the rain of your land powder. From heaven dust
shall come down on you until you are destroyed.
25 v“The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You
shall go out one way against them and flee seven ways before them. And
youwshall be a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth. 26 And xyour
dead body shall be food for all birds of the air and for the beasts of
the earth, andythere shall be no one to frighten them away. 27 The Lord
will strike youzwith the boils of Egypt, and with tumors and ascabs and
itch, of which you cannot be healed. 28 The Lord will strike you with
bmadness and blindness and confusion of mind, 29 and you shall cgrope at
noonday, as the blind grope in darkness, and you shall not prosper in
your ways.2 And you shall be only oppressed and robbed continually, and
there shall be no one to help you. 30 dYou shall betroth a wife, but
another man shall ravish her. eYou shall build a house, but you shall
not dwell in it. fYou shall plant a vineyard, but you shall not enjoy
its fruit. 31 Your ox shall be slaughtered before your eyes, but you
shall not eat any of it. Your donkey shall be seized before your face,
but shall not be restored to you. Your sheep shall be given to your
enemies, but there shall be no one to help you. 32 gYour sons and your
daughters shall be given to another people, while your eyes look on and
fail with longing for them all day long, hbut you shall be helpless. 33 A
nation that you have not known shall eat up the fruit of your ground
and of all your labors, and you shall be only oppressed and crushed
continually, 34 so that you are driven mad iby the sights that your eyes
see. 35 The Lord will strike you on the knees and on the legs jwith
grievous boils of which you cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot
to the crown of your head.
36 “The Lord will kbring you and your king whom you set over you to a
nation that neither you lnor your fathers have known. And mthere you
shall serve other gods of wood and stone. 37 And you shall become na
horror, a proverb, and a byword among all the peoples where the Lord
will lead you away. 38 oYou shall carry much seed into the field and
shall gather in little, for pthe locust shall consume it. 39 qYou shall
plant vineyards and dress them, but you shall neither drink of the wine
nor gather the grapes, for the worm shall eat them. 40 You shall have
olive trees throughout all your territory, but you rshall not anoint
yourself with the oil, for your olives shall drop off. 41 You shall
father sons and daughters, but they shall not be yours, for sthey shall
go into captivity. 42 pThe cricket3 shall possess all your trees and the
fruit of your ground. 43 tThe sojourner who is among you shall rise
higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower.44
uHe shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to him. tHe shall be the
head, and you shall be the tail.
45 v“All these curses shall come upon you and pursue you and overtake
you till you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the
Lordyour God, to keep his commandments and his statutes that he
commanded you. 46 They shall be wa sign and a wonder against you and
your offspring forever. 47 xBecause you did not serve the Lord your God
with joyfulness and gladness of heart, because of the abundance of all
things, 48 therefore you shall serve your enemies whom the Lord will
send against you, in hunger and thirst, in nakedness, and lacking
everything. And he ywill put a yoke of iron on your neck until he has
destroyed you. 49 zThe Lord will bring a nation against you from far
away, from the end of the earth, aswooping down like the eagle, a nation
bwhose language you do not understand, 50 a hard-faced nation cwho
shall not respect the old or show mercy to the young. 51 It shall deat
the offspring of your cattle and the fruit of your ground, until you are
destroyed; it also shall not leave you grain, wine, or oil, the
increase of your herds or the young of your flock, until they have
caused you to perish.
52 “They shall ebesiege you in all your towns, until your high and
fortified walls, in which you trusted, come down throughout all your
land. And they shall besiege you in all your towns throughout all your
land, which theLord your God has given you. 53 And fyou shall eat the
fruit of your womb, the flesh of your sons and daughters, whom the Lord
your God has given you, gin the siege and in the distress with which
your enemies shall distress you. 54 The man who is the most tender and
refined among you will hbegrudge food to his brother, to ithe wife he
embraces,4 and to the last of the children whom he has left, 55 so that
he will not give to any of them any of the flesh of his children whom he
is eating, because he has nothing else left,jin the siege and in the
distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your towns. 56
kThe most tender and refined woman among you, who would not venture to
set the sole of her foot on the ground because she is so delicate and
tender, will begrudge to the husband she embraces,5 to her son and to
her daughter, 57 her afterbirth that comes out from between her feet and
her children whom she bears, because lacking everything she will eat
them secretly, jin the siege and in the distress with which your enemy
shall distress you in your towns.
58 “If you are not careful to do all the words of this law that are
written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name,
lthe Lordyour God, 59 then the Lord will bring on you and your offspring
extraordinary afflictions, afflictions severe and lasting, and
sicknesses grievous and lasting. 60 And he will bring upon you again all
mthe diseases of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cling
to you. 61 Every sickness also and every affliction that is not recorded
in the book of this law, the Lordwill bring upon you, until you are
destroyed. 62 Whereas nyou were as numerous oas the stars of heaven, you
shall be left few in number, because you did not obey the voice of the
Lord your God. 63 And as the Lord ptook delight in doing you good and
multiplying you, so the Lord will qtake delight in bringing ruin upon
you and destroying you. And you shall be plucked off the land that you
are entering to take possession of it.
64 “And the Lord rwill scatter you among all peoples, from one end of
the earth to the other, and sthere you shall serve other gods tof wood
and stone,uwhich neither you nor your fathers have known. 65 And vamong
these nations you shall find no respite, and there shall be no resting
place for the sole of your foot, but wthe Lord will give you there a
trembling heart and failing eyes and xa languishing soul. 66 Your life
shall hang in doubt before you. Night and day you shall be in dread and
have no assurance of your life.67 yIn the morning you shall say, ‘If
only it were evening!’ and at evening you shall say, ‘If only it were
morning!’ because of the dread that your heart shall feel, and zthe
sights that your eyes shall see. 68 And the Lord awill bring you back in
ships to Egypt, a journey that I promised that byou should never make
again; and there you shall offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as
male and female slaves, but there will be no buyer.”
