God warns in Leviticus 26:39-42 that we will waste away in the lands of our enemies because of our sins and our ancestors’ sins; but if we will confess our sins and the sins of our ancestors—their unfaithfulness and hostility towards God, which made God hostile towards them …then God says, “I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.” Likewise, as we humbly repent, God will remember our forefathers’ 1607 First Landing Land Dedication Covenant, hear our prayers, forgive our sins and heal our land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
