Promise to the Jews on the condition that they love Him and obey Him
And when you and your children return to the LORD your God and obey
Him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything
I command youtoday then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes
and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations
where He scattered you. Even if you have been banished to the most
distant land under the heavens, from there the LORD your God will
gather you and bring you back. He will bring you to the land that
belonged to yourfathers ... He will make you more prosperous and
numerous than your fathers… Then the LORD your God will make you most
prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your
womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land. The LORD
will again delight in you and make you prosperous,just as he delighted
in your fathers, if you obey the LORD your God and keep his commands
and decrees ... and turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and
with all your soul .(Deuteronomy, 30:2-10)
Some of the blessings promisedto Jews when they comply with the
commands of Allah
If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all His
commands I give you today... all these blessings will come upon you
and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God: "You will be blessed
in the city and blessed in the country... The fruit of your womb will
be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your
livestock--the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. Your
basket and your kneading trough will beblessed. You will be blessed
when you come in and blessed when you go out... The Lord will send a
blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The
Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you... if you
keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in His ways ... The
Lord will open theheavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain
on your landin season and to bless all the work of your hands... If
you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you
this day and carefully follow them ...(Deuteronomy, 28:1-14)
Some of the threats of Allah upon Jews when they do not live with the
fear of Allah, with the love for Allah, when they do not comply with
the commands of faith.
However, if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully
follow all His commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these
curses will come upon you and overtake you : You will be cursed in the
city and cursed in the country... The Lord will send on you curses,
confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are
destroyed and cometo sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in
forsaking him... you will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms
on earth… You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day
you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue you.. You will
build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard,
but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit… Youwill have nothing
but cruel oppression all your days… You will sow much seed in the
field but you will harvest little… All these curses will come upon
you… because you did not obey the Lord your God and observe the
commands and decrees he gave you … therefore in hunger and thirst, in
nakedness and dire poverty… If you… do not revere this glorious and
awesome name—the Lord your God—the Lord will send fearful plagues on
you and your descendants, harshand prolonged disasters, and severe and
lingering illnesses … You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky
will be left butfew in number, because you did not obey the Lord your
God … Then the Lord will scatter you among all nations, from one end
of the earth to the other… Among those nations you will find no
repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the Lord
will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a
despairing heart. You will live in constant suspense, filled with
dread both night and day, never sure of your life …(Deuteronomy,
28:15-68)
