7/31/13: ‘Cursed will you be in the city’; Detroit. In Deuterotomy 28 it is clear that if a people are not careful to hear and careful to do this day what the Lord instructed, then one of the curses will apply to their cities. Detroit by all accounts is cursed. A google search will have many financial and visual illustrations on decaying property. The solution is repentance and turning to Godly principles. Financial bailout will not work.
