13. [Ezra 7]
Tribulation

14. Rules are communicated
God encouraged them by saying if you obey, things will go very well
He warns them that if rules are broken, it will result in loss of living in the promise land
If you do not obey His commandments (rest the land) and if you follow false gods
There will come a time (70X7 = 490 years) when you will be kicked out of His land.
God Loves you even when you do not obey
If you sin, you can repent and return and be forgiven
