Note how the government changes. Pay attention to the cycle of events of good, bad, crying, pleading, good men, prosperity, disobedience, then sin again, again and again. Learn how to be and do right and don't quit.    FIRST, look at Judges 2:13-16 for a "snapshot" of a stark reality of the conduct of God and His people.  Look back to Deuteronomy12:8 and link to Judges17:6 and 21:25 for a book overview. Look to see the traits and attributes of The LORD as the Deliver-Judge or Jehovah Sabbaoth.
Have you responded to the call from our Lord about service?  A missionary or a mission field.  Let 2nd Corinthians 5:17-21 be true.

As you read, be disciplined, take time to seek The LORD your Lord, and allow The Holy Spirit to have control, and seek to be holy. Read Amos 3:3, Selah, repent and confess.  Then read and apply 1ST John 1:9 and follow the instructions. We need to be specific in our request for healing.
We have been warned "take heed lest thou forget".  We've read the Ten Commandments and now we continue to read the related commandments.  We get to Choose and then consequences will be given so that blessings may become a curse. We are the stewards of Jehovah's provisions.                                   Why did Moses not get to enter the promise land?     *** We do not get to choose the consequence nor the timing of when it happens. ***
