The below "curses" paint a horrible picture--and it is exactly what we find ourselves in the middle of. The below blessings sound wonderful, and they are not an impossible fairy tale. God said, "I set before thee life and death: Choose life that thou and thy seed may live!" Blessing entails obedience. The curse can be removed once we repent, but repentance entails stopping doing what was wrong and starting to do what was right. John the Baptist, the fore-runner of Christ said, "repent and bring forth fruit meet for repentance". One cannot "repent" without a change of behaviour in addition to a change of heart/mind; otherwise the change of heart/mind is merely a fantasy. One has to repent OF that which is wrong and repent UNTO that which is right. God never abolished His Law. It is still in full effect and the wages of sin is tallying up a huge bill and that is why Christendom is dying. Why do Christians believe the voice of anyone other than Christ? --only because they are not of His sheep. for His sheep know His Voice and follow (obey) Him. Christ said, "not one jot or tittle shall pass from the Law" WHO then do "christians" believe when they think the Law was abolished; or that God abolished 99% but not the 10 commandments (though most who are conservative still only think 9 of them apply)... what part of "not one jot or tittle" don't they understand? What part of "Think not that I am come to destroy the law and the prophets, for I am not come to destroy but fulfill (make complete, perfect, establish). John wrote: He who says I know God and keepeth not His Commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him. the majority of "Christians" do not keep God's Law because the Holy Spirit of Truth is not in them to lead them into obedience, and therefore, they fulfill the lusts of the flesh, believing the Serpent's lie that it is not really sin, since God "abolished His own moral code" (just before He shot Himself and fell off His Throne). Christendumb. When everything is going wrong, how long does it take even the stupidest person to begin to wonder if maybe he is doing something wrong? The Bible says, "the curse causeless shall not come" "be sure your sin will find you out" (even if you don't think it is sin), and "be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." We are reaping destruction; we can start reaping blessing and life and deliverance and healing any time we stop sowing what is wrong and start sowing what is right. Only a food, when he sows thistles, is man and confused that he is not reaping strawberries.
Read the below, even if you have read it before; and especially if you have never read it. Which would you prefer? Which does it sound like we have been experiencing for DECADES? after so many centuries of prosperity and blessing... clearly we used to experience the blessings, clearly for quite some time we have been experiencing the curses.
take the time to read through it, and maybe my brief commentary here and there may even shed some light, or at least some new information.
Deuteronomy 28
1And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
3Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
4Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
5Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store (your daily food and what you put up/can/dehydrate, etc.).
6Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
7The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
8The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
9The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
10And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
11And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
12The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
13And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
14And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
15But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
16Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
17Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
18Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
19Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
20The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
21The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.
22The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
23And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.
(God shall not hear you and the world will oppress you).
24The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
25The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
26And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.
(even more understandable if the evil fowls and beasts are figurative, not literal; even as Revelation 18 says "2 Babylon [former nations of Christendom who hav amalgamated with alien peoples of the the earth] the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her" [fornication is amalgamation with aliens; whores and whoremongers are the first to do it; whoredom is fornication]).
27The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
28The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:
29And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
30Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.
31Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.
32Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.
33The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:
34So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
35The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
36The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
37And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
38Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.
39Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.
40Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.
41Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.
42All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume. (again if these locusts and worms, etc. are figurative, it makes even more sense. God also said in Joel that he would send the locust, worm, etc., "his armies" and else where, God refers to peoples as his armies he sent among us to chasten us).
43The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
44He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
45Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
46And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
(that is, how could everything that was so right and good, become so wrong and bad, in such a short period of time, after so many centuries of blessing... because we have departed from the true teaching of the Reformation, we are returning to the very thing I titled one of my books, "The Post-Christian Era and the New Dark Ages".)
47Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
48Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
49The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
50A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favour to the young:
51And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
52And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
53And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
54So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
55So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
56The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
57And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
58If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;
59Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
60Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
61Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
62And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.
63And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
64And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
65And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
66And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
67In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
68And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.

Leviticus 26
1Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
2Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
3If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
4Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
5And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
6And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
7And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
8And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
9For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
10And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
there will be such a bumper crop of new food, we will eat the old, knowing we don't need it on reserve, as the new crop will easily replenish the storage, and it will be fresher.
11And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
12And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
13I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
14But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;
15And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:
16I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
[is this not corrupt taxation to support our enemies?]
17And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
[is this not B-HO who clearly said he hates America? is this not every other corrupt politician who is destroying Christendom? Is this not the corrupt leader of Germany, US, Canada, Australia, etc., letting our enemies into our nation and treating them as if they have more right to our nations that we do?]
18And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
19And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
[Pride of power refers not only to strength, but carnal pride. God has caused all this to happen to judge our people to bring them to repentance, and since most don't think they have done anything to offend Him or that they have nothing they need to repent of, God is in the process of culling out of His flock all those who are not repenting, until all that is left is the tiny remnant who are.]
20And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
21And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
22I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.
[does this not perfectly depict what our inner cities, highways, and now small towns now look like with the pagan invasion?]
23And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
24Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
25And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
26And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
[again, does this not explain corrupt taxation? Because we denied God His 10%, now we barely keep 10%. Corrupt politicians raise taxes again and again, as well as counterfeit fake money devaluing what the little money we have left is actually worth; and they have robbed all the hundreds of tons of silver, copper, and nickle from our coinage and replaced it with painted lead. The Average American has NO IDEA how MANY TIMES OVER he has been robbed--and his entire nation stolen from him. It has happened by slow degrees, so most do not realize it; and the youth never even heard what real coin sounds like. When I plunked some coin down on the counter last year at the grocery store, and it thunked like lead fishing sinkers, I commented on how the politicians robbed us and how it doesn't even sound like real money any more, because it is just painted lead. The young kids working there, puzzled, queried: What do you mean? what is money supposed to sound like? It is supposed to ringle and jingle like music with life; but it doesn't because it is dead. And no one realizes it has been stolen, hundreds of tons of silver, copper, nickle... billions of dollars. In addition to the trillions of dollars of fake paper the government has counterfeited; and that is why a loaf of bread is $4 and not .05 cents. That's why a gallon of gas is $4 not .05 cents. That is why gold is $1150/ounce instead of $18/ounce. The hidden "tax" of inflation is merely the government stealing the money that is in your pocket that they let you think is still yours, devaluing it so it is only worth 3% of what it was 100 years ago. The dollar today is worth .03 cents compared to the 1910 dollar. And in addition to that, taxes have been raised again and again and again; and compounded... tax on what you buy or sell, tax on your income, federal, state, city, and local, tax each year on your house or other things you own, tax for social security, etc., etc., etc... in addition to the value being stolen from your money itself. Just like a trusting wealthy old lady hired someone to manage her affairs for her and then a few years later realized she is broke and he swindled her out of everything. In fact, that actually happened to William Penn. A "fellow Quaker" (a good "Christian" Quaker) who was Penn's assistant, realized Penn was so trusting he signed whatever was presented to him without reading it, so the bastard made up a deed of transfer OF THE ENTIRE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA and Penn unknowingly SIGNED IT OVER TO HIM. And the ungrateful colonists to whom Penn had often GIVEN THE LAND FREE, or sold to them for a pittance, eventually rejected Penn's own law and constitution in favor of their own; and Penn even died nearly a pauper, though he should have been the wealthiest man in the new world.]
27And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
28Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
29And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
30And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
31And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.
[our cities look like bombed out areas after war... which were all once clean, prosperous, safe communities where people raised their children, and even in the row houses of Philadelphia, Irish or German families sat outside on the steps as evening fell and sang and talked to each other, rather than hiding indoors in fear watching tv.]
32And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
[epitomized by the jews on buildings in the US celebrating when the twin towers fell. It was cause for celebration, though they had evil in mind. they saw it as the fall of Christendom, when in reality, it was the beginning of the fall of Zionist Babylon.]
33And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
[while this referred to Israel and Judah being conquered and going into captivity, history repeats itself, and this also describes our inner cities today, how the heathen have now been sown among us, and we die by the sword (or knife or gun, or gang-rape, or strangulation) and so many thousand die each year, people become desensitized like the blond people from the original Time Machine movie, who just ignored their fellows and family being kidnapped by the morlochs; they ignored the cries of their own as they were dragged to the caves to be eaten, due to learned helplessness, and wanting to merely, "eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow you may die"; the just ignored reality and succumbed to death and just enjoyed life until it happened; until the guy in the time machine convinced them to FIGHT BACK and not just die. However, our people are just as blind and will never fight back, because God has sent fear and delusion BECAUSE of our sin; and the only remedy is for us to repent because only then will God deliver us.]
34Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
35As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
36And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
[just as I mentioned above, God has sent the fear and delusion.]
37And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
38And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
39And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
BUT...
40If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;
41And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
42Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.
43The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
44And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.
45But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.
46These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

Part of God's Command to us was to have NOTHING to do with alien peoples. NO intermarriage. Those who did intermarry married themselves out of God's family like Esau, and their children forever rejected by God. God will not have His family weeded out and supplanted by an altogether alien people. Like the bird that lays its egg in another's nest, which eventually replaces that birds entire population via welfaristic genocide. Which the alien nations are now doing to us. God will not accept the dogs breeding with His children and replacing them. Every plant that God has not planted shall be rooted up. God commanded no peace treaties, no seeking the peace or prosperity, no humanitarian aid.... nothing... with the Heathen.
because we rebelled against God when He commanded complete separation from aliens, He has said, "Okay, you want aliens... I'LL GIVE YOU ALIENS! Just the Israelites lusted after meat but were too stiff necked and hard hearted to humble themselves and ask God for it, God gave them quail to eat--so much that it came out their nostrils (either figuratively, or they ate so much they threw it up) to the point that they loathed it.
Like the old grandfather who caught his grandkids smoking his cigar, so he got a whole box and made them smoke the whole box until they were sick.
Once God's people have had enough Judgment and cry "Uncle" (an old wrestling expression with kids, crying Uncle was the same as crying "I give up"; not sure how that expression came to be, maybe some kid was wrestling with his uncle, thinking he could beat him)... once God's people realize what they have chosen is DEATH and repent and cry out in true repentance, then God will save us. Until then, He will allow us to be destroyed by the very thing we lusted after which He had forbidden. And we are about bred out of existence... and if we go, the Scriptures go. The more we have absorbed the heathen the more pagan doctrine we have absorbed. We are the custodians of the Scriptures. We are His people. If we go, Christianity goes and all civilization and what is left of freedom goes. But God promised to preserve a remnant, and that remnant is comprised of those who confess Christ as Lord and Obey God's Commandments. The rest will be canon fodder in the war of the Beast against the God of the Universe. While there is no competition, for God is Omnipotent and Immutable and Eternal, that does not mean there will not be massive "collateral damage"--only a remnant will survive. If any of God's people are still reading this... I pray you are part of that remnant. Choose you this day, whom you will serve... (if you think you haven't already chosen, you are in delusion and you already have chosen, and you have not chosen God, but hopefully it is not too late to repent and choose life and choose you this day whom you will serve--and you can can only do that by doing what HE commands, otherwise, you choose other gods).
just like before Moses died and he told the people God commanded representatives of half of the tribes of Israel to stand on Mount Gerizim and call blessings upon the people, and the other half of the tribes to stand on Mount Ebal and call curses upon the people and the Levites where the altar was, which had the entire law of God engraved upon the huge stones, to stand in the middle... blessing or cursing is hingent upon our obedience.
Incidentally, the 6 tribes who stood on the mount of blessing were Jacob's sons by his free wives (Leah and Rachel), not those born of bondwomen (Zilpah and Bilhah). These 2 mountains were in the territory of what would become the land of Manasseh. Manasseh means, "forgetful" and Manasseh became the 13th tribe (Joseph's tribe being split among his sons Ephraim and Manasseh). and the number 13 in Scripture symbolizes "rebellion".
(these thoughts concerning Ebal and Gerizim I have just written in my book, Ten Commandments for You(th) which is nearly done and will be 300 pages, 8.5x11.)
