God's Twelve Commandments


     If you desire to see God bless America (or any nation), consider what God told Israel to do as they entered the Promised Land: “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: and all these blessing shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God” (Deuteronomy 28:1-2).

     God gave them twelve commandments, and he warned them of the curses that would come upon them and overtaken them if they failed to hearken unto the voice of the Lord their God.  The following are those twelve commandments: Deuteronomy 27:11-26 KJV

1.)  Thou shalt make no graven or molten image

         And Moses charged the people the same day, saying, [15] Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place (Deuteronomy 27:11).

2.)  Thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother

Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother (Deuteronomy 27:16).
