Live forever and prosper

Yesterday I told you about Mr. Spok and a connection to Deuteronomy 30. Here we read the final worlds of Moses right before he dyes. He conducted Israel to the promised land and he is at the east side of Jordan river near Jericho. The Lord told him that he is not entering the land but he loves the Lord and he loves Israel and he really wants to see Israel walking faithfully with the Lord. That is what is written:

And when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where theLord your God has driven you, 2 and return to the Lord your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul, 3 then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and he will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you. 4 If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there he will take you. 5 And the Lord your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, that you may possess it. And he will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers. 6 And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you will love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. 7 And the Lord your God will put all these curses on your foes and enemies who persecuted you. 8 And you shall again obey the voice of the Lord and keep all his commandments that I command you today. 9 The Lord your God will make you abundantly prosperous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your cattle and in the fruit of your ground. For the Lord will again take delight in prospering you, as he took delight in your fathers,10 when you obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, when you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

God will take delight in prospering Israel when it repents and returns to the Lord. So, first we see PROSPER.

The chapter 30 finishes as:

17 But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, 18 I declare to you today, that you shall surely perish. You shall not live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to enter and possess. 19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, 20 loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Now, we see LIVE LONG. The Lord is the life and length of days, If Israel loves his God and obeys his voice.

I think that Spok was wishing the results of a life with the Lord based on Deuteronomy 30.

As a redeemed by Jesus, I also see this blessings to me, somehow as:

Live forever and prosper.

because I boldly say that my heart is circumcised by the Lord so that I love the Lord with all my heart and all my soul.

Let this blessing be upon you too.
