Cursed is the Man that Does Not Obey the Words of This Covenant – Jeremiah 11 Reframe, BibleStudyMinistry.com. The word that came to Jeremiah the prophet from the Sovereign LORD said this.
“Listen and obey the words of this covenant and tell them to the men of Judah as well as the residents of Jerusalem. You must tell them that this is what the LORD, the Ruler of Israel, says, ‘Cursed is the man that does not obey the words of this covenant that I commanded your forefathers.
When I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace of affliction, I said to them, Obey My voice and do everything I command you to do and you will be My people and I will be your Ruler.”
Hear the Word of This Covenant
This was in order to establish the oath I swore to your forefathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is to this day. Then I answered and said, ‘So be it O Sovereign LORD.
Then the LORD said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, tell them to ‘Hear the word of this covenant and carry them out. Because from the time I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt until today, I strongly warned them continuously, time and again to Obey My voice!”
Yet, they would not obey or incline their ears, but everyone followed the stubbornness of their evil heart. So I brought on them all the curses of this covenant I commanded them to follow, but they did not keep the covenant.
Both Houses of Israel and Judah
And the LORD said to me, “There is a conspiracy among the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem, treason is found with them. They have returned to the sins of their forefathers who refused to obey My words.
They have followed other gods (unauthorized rulers), to serve them. Both the houses of Israel and Judah have broken the covenant I made with their fathers. Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says; “I am about to bring upon them evil disasters they cannot escape.
They will cry out to Me, but I will not listen to them. Then the cities of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods that they have been burning incense, but these gods certainly will not save them during the time of disaster.
My Beloved Get Out of My House
Your gods are indeed as numerous as your cities, O Judah, and the number of streets in Jerusalem have you set up altars. You have set up altars to the shame of Baal, for who you burned incense. As for you, Jeremiah, do not pray for these people.
Do not raise up a cry or a prayer on their behalf, because I will not listen when they call out to Me in the time of their disaster. What right has My beloved in My house, having carried out so much lewdness and evil schemes?
The holy flesh is passed from you; when you do evil that is when you rejoice. The Sovereign LORD once called you a flourishing olive tree, beautiful with well-forming fruit. But with a mighty roar, He will set fire to it, and its branches will be consumed.
Burning Incense to Other gods
The Sovereign LORD of Hosts who planted you has decreed for disaster to come upon you because of the evil that you do. The evil of the house of Israel and Judah have brought upon themselves, they have provoked Me to anger by burning incense to Baal.”
The Sovereign LORD informed me, so I knew it. Then He showed me their deeds. I was like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter; I did not know that they had plotted against me. They said, “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit; let us cut him off from the land of the living so that his name will no longer be remembered.”
But O LORD of Hosts, who judges righteously, who tries the heart and mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them because I have committed my cause to You. Therefore this is what the LORD ALMIGHTY says concerning the people of Anathoth who are seeking your life.
I Will Punish Them…
Those who are also saying, “You must not prophesy in the name of the LORD ALMIGHTY, or you will die by our hand.” This is what the LORD of Hosts says, “I will punish them. Their young men will die by the sword, their sons and daughters by famine.
There will be no remnant because I will bring evil on the people of Anathoth in the year of their visitation.” Thus saith the LORD.
Chapter Remarks
The chapter opens with the LORD ALMIGHTY by commanding Jeremiah to tell the people of Judah to keep His covenant. In fact, cursed is every man who does not obey the words of the covenant.
What is this covenant?
Exodus chapter 20 is the covenant, which is the Ten Commandments (Deuteronomy 4:13). The Ten Commandments teach us to love our Elohim with all our might, and we do that best when we love our fellow brothers as we love ourselves.
The children of Israel didn’t do that, so with love, the LORD ALMIGHTY sent prophets like Jeremiah to CRY IN THE STREETS to His people to repent and get back within the framework of the covenant. This is what we’re doing with this writing.
Committing Treason
The LORD Elohim called this unscrupulous move a conspiracy or even treason. That is what it really is; God = Ruler, and when the house of Israel rebelled (sinned) by having other gods (rulers), they transgressed or committed treason against their Elohim.
Treason is usually penalized by death and certainly is so with the LORD ALMIGHTY. Graciously for us all, the Creator and Father of us all sent His Son to pay the penalty.
Still, there was something the LORD ALMIGHTY said in declaring His name; “By no means clearing the guilty!” This means we will all have a bit to pay for our shortcomings. In the case of Judah and Israel, this includes worldwide captivity.
Harsh Promises Rendered by GOD
He had to send them out of His house for their lewdness, like burning incense to Baal. “How could you, Israel?!” Many of the children of Israel disregarded the prophets sent to them; they mocked them, beat them, and some were killed.
The ALMIGHTY Creator promised that their young men will die violent deaths, and their children will starve because of the evil He intends to bring upon them in the year of their visitation.
So far, Isaiah and Jeremiah should teach us that destructive things just don’t happen on the earth for no reason. Sieges, war, destruction, whirlwinds, famines, and diseases come from the ALMIGHTY Creator to repay or avenge, or to get someone’s attention.
Take Heed to the Prophets
May we all take heed at a time like the one we live in today by taking notes on what took place yesterday. Praise ye the LORD ALMIGHTY.

CHRIST came and said, “Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

TWO POSSIBILITIES OF SALVATION
There are two ways to salvation: either you believe in Jesus Christ and keep his law, then you will be saved –
(Romans 13:8-10; Galatians 5:14; 6:2; or you keep the Law of Moses 10+603 without error, and then you will be saved by keeping the Law without error – Galatians 3:12 Now the law is not by faith, but he who does them will live by them.
That your faith is evidenced by keeping the law (10 commandments), because the consequence of obedience is the flawless keeping of the law by the power of the Spirit, equals salvation by keeping the law!
– Romans 4:4 To him that worketh, his wages are not counted for mercy, but according to the debt due.
But if you measure your faith by the observance of the law, if you do not keep it without fault, you will be cursed by the law and damned – Gal 3:10; Cursed is everyone who does not keep all that is written in the book of the law to do them.
That the law was intended to give God’s people a way to live in relationship with God, is only true in that it was a master that guided them to Christ, but it put everyone under a curse
– Romans 3:19 so that the whole world would come under the judgment of God (Galatians 3:24-25), and this curse is only removed in Christ (Galatians 3:13)
There are no exceptions to the rule of the law – either it is perfectly obeyed or it is completely broken. So either you keep the law without fault and are saved by keeping the law, or you do not keep it and are damned.
There is no such thing as believing in the blood of Jesus Christ and keeping the law without fault, because if you keep it, you no longer need Jesus’ sacrifice.
And if he cannot keep it, but still gains forgiveness of sins through Christ, then he gains forgiveness of sins even without the Ten Commandments, it does not matter what he does not keep.
In order to emphasize the validity of the Ten Commandments, they create the validity of the curse that was before the death of Christ.
But the situation cannot be the same, because if the curse of the law is still in operation today because of the disobedience of the law, then Christ’s death was in vain, because the validity of the cursing law invalidates the fact that Christ abolished the cursing law.
Thus, with the validity of the Ten Commandments, they bring back the state before redemption, the state of condemnation by the law, from which Christ freed us.
Once a claim, a debt invoice, has been paid, it cannot be expected that additional claims will be paid again.
Whoever owes a debt, pay it, keep the ten commandments, because he will become cursed before God, for not keeping the ten commandments.
In this state, the master leading to Christ, who condemned everyone for not keeping the /ten commandments/, turns back (Rom 3:19; Gal 3:25), does not condemn, but makes obedient and liberates, which is completely impossible, that the service of death engraved in stone in letters turns into the service of life (2 Cor 3:7), which is completely nonsense.
The covenant of the ten commandments gives birth to slavery (Gal 4:24), it will never be a covenant of freedom, because it comes from the servant of Abraham, not from the son of the promise.
This is a typical change of law! (Daniel 7:25)
So it’s one or the other!
