When reading the Bible one cannot but notice the words used to describe the blessings for obedience. Job, Abraham, David and many others were rewarded with great wealth and prosperity for being faithful.

Might I suggest covenant theology would provide useful insights for analyzing this. Blessing and curse in the scriptures tend to be covenant sanctions.

Thanks, but no thanks.

I'm convinced God is not done with Israel.
