Deuteronomy 1:35

Cebuano CBV - Unknown

Sa pagkamatuod walay usa niining mga tawo, niining dautan nga kaliwatan nga makakita sa yuta nga maayo nga gipanumpa ko nga igahatag sa inyong mga amahan.

What Does This Mean?

In this verse, God is speaking and declares that the Israelites, who are described as an 'evil generation', will not enter the promised land that God had promised to their ancestors. This is a direct consequence of their disobedience and lack of faith.

Explained for Children

Imagine you and your friends were promised a big ice cream party if you cleaned your room, but then you didn't do what you were supposed to. God is saying that because the Israelites didn't do what He asked, they won't get the big prize He promised.

Historical Background

This verse is from the book of Deuteronomy, which was written by Moses around 1250 BC. It was spoken to the Israelites just before they were to enter the promised land, but Moses was reminding them of their previous failures and the consequences of those failures.

Living It Out Today

A concrete example today might be a parent promising a trip to the amusement park if the children clean up their rooms. If the children don't do their part, they miss out on the reward. This teaches us that our actions have consequences.
