(3) And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. The ultimate fulfillment will be, of course, in the Millennium. The eternal God - He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, the wealth in every mine, the heavens and the earth are His and everything in it - yet He is saying, 'I will reciprocate your blessing to such an extent that it will be almost as if I have exhausted the resources of heaven to give you the blessing'. God is challenging the people to try and exhaust Him with their giving, He says: 'I will give over-proportionately to everything that you do'. The first cry was 'Return!', The next cry was 'Robbery!', But if you want the blessing the cry that comes is 'Repent!’ Then you will be ‘Rewarded’. God's word does not change:. 2Co_9:6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. In verse 11God told them that if they would do this the pestilence would be removed; In verse 12, they would be restored to prominence one day that will be fully fulfilled in the millennial reign of Christ, when they will be called again 'a delightsome land', and the land will bring forth plentifully. Luk_6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Mat 6:19-21 'Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also'. Mat_6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Luk_16:13
