Leviticus 18:25
Compare all
23 Nor shall you mate with any aanimal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion.  
24 a‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; bfor by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you.  
25 For athe land is defiled; therefore I bvisit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land cvomits out its inhabitants.  
26 aYou shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you  
27 (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled),
28 lest athe land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you.  
29 For whoever commits any of these abominations, the persons who commit them shall be1 cut off from among their people.  
30 ‘Therefore you shall keep My1 ordinance, so athat you do not commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and that you do not defile yourselves by them: bI am the Lord your God.’ ”

Leviticus 18:24-30

The situation is the same. God says He's casting these nations out before Israel, and He's warning Israel not to make the same mistake.

This is a judgment from God. He's punishing these people for their wicked practices, and the land itself helps God in getting rid of them.

This is scary, isn't it? But people do these detestable things, which in chapter 18 of Deuteronomy include spiritism, occultism, necromancing—all that type of stuff. The land is defiled. Not just the people are defiled, but the land itself becomes defiled, and it reacts and throws the inhabitants out by means of natural disasters, unproductiveness, famine, disease, war, and things of that nature. The land simply has it up to here, and throws the people out.

God's creation all works together. It's all based on living the righteous way of God. The land can only take so much before God uses it to punish the nation that does these things.
