Now I got to keep Jesus in the back of my mind when he talk about being chosen. Now I got to listen to God on what he mean by being chosen. Then I got to look at this generation and see why they are not chosen. When the Lord your God brings you into the land that you are entering to possession of it, and clear away many nation before you, The Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations more numerous and lighter then you, WHEN THE LORD YOUR GOD GIVE THEM OVER TO YOU, AND YOU DEFEAT THEM, THEN YOU MOST DEVOTE THEM TO COMPLETE DESTRUCTION. YOU SHALL MAKE NO COVENANT WITH THEM AND SHOW THEM NO MERCY TO THEM, YOU SHALL NOT INTERMARRY WITH THEM, GIVING YOUR DAUGHTERS TO THEIR SONS OR TAKING THEIR DAUGHTERS FOR YOUR SONS, FOR THEY WOULD TURN AWAY YOUR SONS FROM FOLLOWING ME, TO SEVER OTHER gods, Then the ANGER OF THE LORD WOULD BE KINDLED AGAINST YOU , AND HE WOULD DESTROY YOU QUICKLY. BUT THUS YOU SHALL DEAL WITH THEM: YOU SHALL BREAK DOWN THEIR ALTARS AND DASH IN PIECES THEIR PILLARS AND CHOP DOWN THEIR ASHERIM AND BURN THEIR CARVED IMAGES WITH FIRE. FOR YOU ARE A PEOPLE HOLY TO THE LORD YOUR GOD. THE LORD YOUR GOD HAS CHOSEN YOU TO BE A PEOPLE FOR HIS TREASURE POSSESSION, OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLES WHO ARE ON THE FACE OF EARTH. IT WAS NOT BECAUSE YOU WERE MORE IN NUMBERS THEN ANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT THE LORD SET HIS LOVE ON YOU AND CHOSE YOU, FOR YOU WERE FEWEST OF ALL THE PEOPLES, BUT IT BECAUSE THE LORD LOVES YOU AND HIS KEEPING THE OATH THAT HE HAD SWORE TO YOUR FATHERS, THAT THE LORD HAS BROUGHT YOU OUT WITH A MIGHTY HAND AND REDEEMED FROM THE HOUSE OF SLAVERY, From the hands of Pharaoh king of the Egypt. KNOW THEIR FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS GOD. THE FAITHFUL ONE WHO KEEPS COVENANT AND STEADFAST LOVE WITH THOSE WHO LOVE HIM AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENT„ TO A THOUSAND GENERATIONS, AND REPAYS IN THEIR FACE THOSE WHO HATE HIM BY DESTROYING THEM. HE WILL NOT BE SLACK WITH ONE WHO HATES HIM. HE WILL REPAY HIM TO HIS FACE. YOU SHALL THEREFORE BE CAREFUL TO DO THE COMMANDMENT AND THE STATUTES AND RULES THAT I HAVE COMMAND YOU TODAY. Deuteronomy 7: 1-11. I have to break this into two part.
