Kingdom Economics

January 23, 2025 • Arthur Bailey • Deuteronomy 26

Kingdom Economics is about the Creator’s plan to provide for His people in the kingdoms of this world. YeHoVaH’s Covenant with the kingdom of Israel, aka The House of Israel, had very clear written Instructions in His Commandments concerning the protection and the provisions that He would provide for His people. His Commandments were contingent on Israel’s obedience to His Decrees, Commands, and Laws.

In this portion of Deuteronomy, YeHoVaH reveals to the Children of Israel, their responsibilities in response to His prosperity, protection, and provisions in order to maintain their kingdom and personal economy.

The Blessings of Obeying The Law

February 6, 2025 • Arthur Bailey • Deuteronomy 28:1–14

The Instructions given by YeHoVaH to Moses, contained in the Law, were established to bring order and harmony to the newly developed nation. The Law would enable Brothers to be able to dwell together in unity when they took possession of the land promised to the Children of Israel. The Law provided blessings as incentives to motivate YeHoVaH’s people to obey His Law and curses to discourage His people from breaking His Law. In this portion of Deuteronomy 28, we will examine the blessings of obeying YeHoVaH’s Law.

Cursed is he who…

The Law of God contains blessings for those who obey and curses for those who disobey. Contrary to popular Christian teachings, the Law of God is not cursed. However, there are curses in the Law. The Instructions, given by YeHoVaH to Moses, in the Law were established to bring order and harmony to the newly developed nation enabling brothers to be able to dwell together in unity when they took possession of land promised to the Children of Israel. Each tribe had to make a proclamation with their mouth of their agreement to the Covenant with YeHoVaH that they would obey His Covenant and that violating His Covenant would bring forth a curse instead of the desired blessings of the Covenant.

The Righteous, The Wicked & Amalek

January 16, 2025 • Arthur Bailey • Deuteronomy 25

YeHoVaH, who is righteous, gave righteous Laws to the nation of Israel to establish the Children of Israel as a righteous people that would distinguish them from the wicked nations that surrounded them. Righteous Laws required the fear of YeHoVaH to make righteous judgments, and those who lived by His righteous Laws would be rendered righteous. Wickedness, or unrighteousness in any form, is an abomination unto YeHoVaH resulting in condemnation, judgment, and the wrath of YeHoVaH. Amalek’s lack of fear of God was reflected in his treatment of Israel and ultimately resulted in the Amalekites being wiped out as a people.
