    Israel's Response to the Covenant

    When God entered into covenant with the people of Israel at Mount Sinai in 1440 BC, He promised the Israelites bountiful blessings of success, prosperity, biological fertility, peace and security in the rich land of Canaan, and the #1 ranking among all the nations on earth if Israel would faithfully obey the terms of the Covenant. However, if Israel would not obey the covenant terms, God would send horrific curses of punishment upon His chosen people. The big question we will answer in this episode is: How does Israel respond to their Covenant with God?
