the generation to come of your children

on Deuteronomy 29:22-24

The scene jumps forward to a ruined land and to two sets of onlookers, the children of the generation to come and a stranger out of a far country. Sodom and Gomorrah are named with Admah and Zeboim, the two other cities of the plain that Genesis 14:2 lists and that Genesis 19 leaves unnamed at the overthrow. Hosea 11:8 reaches for the same two cities when God asks how he shall give Ephraim up. The question of verse 24, wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this land, is asked in the same words at 1 Kings 9:8 and Jeremiah 22:8, both times over the temple and the city.

It was of the greatest consequence to impress all with the strong and abiding conviction, that while the covenant of grace had special blessings belonging to it, it at the same time had curses in reserve for transgressors, the infliction of which would be as certain, as lasting and severe. This was the advantage contemplated in the law being rehearsed a second time.
