REPERCUSSIONS OF MANS
RESPONSE TO THE LAW
The three types of miscommunicationare:
 Misunderstanding
 Not-Understanding
 Misinterpretation
1. Misunderstanding
Misunderstanding happens when the receiver
understands a message differently from what the
sender intended. Here are some funny examples:
 Dog for Sale: Eats anything and is fond of children.
 Used Cars: Why go elsewhere to be cheated? Come
here first!
 Illiterate?Write today for help.
2. Missed or Not Processed Information
Happens when the message receiver receives no
interpretation at all, or, receives multiple

2. 2
interpretations without enough information to
choose the correct interpretation.
-example: a cell phone conversationwith poor
reception. If the receptionis poor enough you will
receive no message at all, but if the reception is
mediocre you may end up with many differing
messages and not enough information to decipher
which message is the correct one.
3. Misinterpretation
Misinterpretationhappens when the message
receiver interprets a message but has a differing
understanding or definitions of words, terms,
values, beliefs or instructions than that of the
message sender.
Biblically all these lead to a…
Curse
Hos 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:
because thou hast rejected knowledge, I willalso
reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing

3. 3
thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I willalso
forget thy children.
I. COMPREHENSION- “UNDERSTAND”
A.On A Local Level
Deut 1:13-15
Take you wise men, and understanding, and known
among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over
you.
14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which
thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and
known, and made them heads over you, captains over
thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains
over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers
among your tribes.
B.On A Global Level
Deut 4:5-6
Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments,
even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye
should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.

4. 4
6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your
wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the
nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say,
Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding
people.
C. On A Providential Level
Deut 9:3
Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy
God is he which goeth over before thee; as a
consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall
bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive
them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath
said unto thee.
D.On A Personal Level
Deut 9:6
Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth
thee not this good land to possess it for thy
righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.
E. Calamity Levied
Deut 28:45-49

5. 5
Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and
shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be
destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the
voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his
commandments and his statutes which he
commanded thee:
46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a
wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
47 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with
joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the
abundance of all things;
48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the
LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst,
and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he
shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have
destroyed thee.
49 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from
far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle
flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not
understand;
Deut 32:28-29
For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is
there any understanding in them.

6. 6
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this,
that they would consider their latter end!
Deut 32:31-34
For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies
themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the
fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall,
their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel
venom of asps.
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed
up among my treasures?
II. CELERITY- “QUICKLY” DETERMINED
ACCELERATION
(Sul-air-a-ty)
When you see the word celerity, think accelerate,like
a car when you step on the gas. Both words share the
Latin root celer which means swift
Gossip often travels with celerity,as do children
trying to get to a big plate of cookies.

Deut 9:3
Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God
is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming

unto thee.
B.Perversion
Deut 9:12
And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down

themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of
the way which I commanded them; they have made
them a molten image.
Deut 9:16
And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the
LORD your God, and had made you a moltencalf: ye
had turned aside quickly out of the way which the
LORD had commanded you.

8. 8
C. Proportion
Deut 32:21
They have moved me to jealousy with that which is
not God; they have provoked me to anger with their
vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those
which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger
with a foolish nation.
Lev 26:23-24
And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things,
but willwalk contrary unto me;

punish you yet seven times for your sins.

foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their
calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come
upon them make haste.

Deut 9:7

rebellious against the LORD.
Deut 32:28-29

To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence…
Deut 32:40-42
For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for
ever.
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take
hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine
enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I willmake mine arrows drunk with blood, and my
sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of
the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of
revenges upon the enemy.
Luke 19:41-45
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and
wept over it,

11. 11
42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in
this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace!
but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine
enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass
thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy
children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee
one stone upon another; because thou knewest not
the time of thy visitation.
45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast
out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

horses: neither will we say any more to the work of
our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless
findeth mercy.
