Leviticus 26:30

And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

Leviticus 26 stands as a warning addressed directly to those living at the end of the world. Its threatenings and promises were not exhausted in ancient Israel but apply to God's people now as surely as they did then. Disobedience and stubborn persistence in a wrong course bring God's condemnation and the withdrawal of His favor.

By contrast, repentance and obedience bring blessing under the same chapter. The warning calls every person to review the past honestly, without self-justification or excuse. When the bitter results of a wrong course are recognized, the required response is repentance.

Because greater light has been given, greater responsibility rests upon those who hear this warning now.
