Deu 30:1 ¶ And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call [them] to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,

"And it shall come to pass"....A prophecy that Israel will be scattered among the nations....prophecy fullfilled....

Deu 30:2 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;

In the beginning stages of fulfillment....Israel is back in the land, but the Temple has yet to be rebuilt. The people of Israel have not (as of yet) returned to the LORD.

Deu 30:3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.

In the beginning stages of fulfillent (1948), but will not be completed until the Messianic Kingdom era. The nation of Israel will be gathered from the 4 corners of the earth to enter the Messianic Kingdom.

Deu 30:4 If [any] of thine be driven out unto the outmost [parts] of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:


Deu 30:5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

Israel will once again be a nation the size of Solomons Israel...and more.

Deu 30:6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

The believers of the Messianic era will have a spiritual circumcision...they will love the LORD completely....

Deu 30:7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.


Deu 30:8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.

A prophecy concerning the Messianic Kingdom on earth in that they will follow Torah...The return to the land has yet to be completed, so this prophecy is future.

Deu 30:9 And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

Again, a prophecy concerning Israel in the Messianic Kingdom age..

Deu 30:10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, [and] if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

What is the recurring theme....."keep his commandments"....

Deu 30:11 ¶ For this commandment which I command thee this day, it [is] not hidden from thee, neither [is] it far off.

One of the most important verses in the OT....God is claiming that the Commandment isn't hard to keep....it is not out of reach, or unobtainable...

Deu 30:12 It [is] not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
Deu 30:13 Neither [is] it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?


Deu 30:14 But the word [is] very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

God expects us to do it......so does Christ.....

Deu 30:15 ¶ See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;


Deu 30:16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

Deu 30:17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;

Turn away.....is Torah negation....who taught that? Certainly not Jesus...What famous apostle (?) appeared to teach Torah abrogation?

Deu 30:18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, [and that] ye shall not prolong [your] days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.


Deu 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:


Deu 30:20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, [and] that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he [is] thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.



The recurring theme is obeying God's commandment....and as he claimed it is not hard to do....
