3 ways of G.d relating to us, Abundance, Punishment, and Covenant |
Privilege and Plenty on the Macro level
If the Jews will “walk in my statutes and keep my commandments ” great reward will follow. We are promised “rain in its time” These rains will result in an abundance of produce, and according to commentaries, also “clean and good air”, and will be good for the “wells and rivers and cause good health for bodies and fruits…people will not fall ill…”.
Peace – Outer and Inner
We are also promised the blessing of peace, “Peace is equal to everything!” “You will dwell securely in your land. I will give peace in the land, you will sleep and not be afraid”
Some see peace on an international level. “it
is possible that it means peace in the world in general …he assures
them that there will be peace in the entire world…the desire of G.d is
for this, which is reflected in the 70 oxen offered as sacrifices on the
festival corresponding to the 70 nations of the world…
