The Land.’

The land they:-

For this reason:-

The people of the Earth are

The people of the Earth are
consumed – few are left.

Kingdom Of Heaven)

The Earth is devoured by a curse when the people have turned
away from God, especially when God’s People have turned away from Him.
Sometimes people get very ‘hyper’ over the word ‘curse’. In this meaning, just
as in most Biblical uses of the word, it simply means that it does not go well
with them at all, and it is decreed by God that way!
