A Titanic Blessing On The Jewish People

Many Bible promises are conditional. If my people (or an individual) does X, God will bless with Y. Note the terms of blessing given here, from Deuteronomy 28:

“Since you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and a cheerful heart, in gratitude for the abundance of all things, 48 you will serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger, thirst, nakedness, and devoid of all things; and He will put an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you.
49 “The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the earth, as the eagle swoops down . . . "

Israel is a huge blessing to the world through knowledge of God's Law and God's Messiah, Jesus Christ. Jews and Christians are to find joy despite circumstances.

Israel has a great future, the vision will be world embracing.

The law will go out from Zion, the ark of the covenant will hold firm.

Great times are upon us.

But not all. The promise of the Land of Canaan to Abraham and his descendants through Isaac is for example unconditional.

Many IS not all, but thank you.

Both Jews and born again Christians can bank on both the conditional and unconditional promises of our magnificent God.

What does your comment have to do with DEUTERONOMY in the Hebrew Scriptures or the prophetic fulfillment of the scripture cited?

--Nothing.

According to the scripture, the curse seems to be ongoing too, the Jewish people were said to have failed. Their only way out, since so much of the law apparently can not be fulfilled, would be to escape through other religions.

No the context of that curse is the Babylonian diaspora, which ended--why I pointed you toward reading the chapter in context. Jewish people are still God's Chosen, along with born again Christians.

So are you planning to address the prophecy mentioned in Deuteronomy or not?

Gladly, as soon as you ...
  • explain the difference, if any, between prediction and prophecy,
  • explain when you think Chapter 28 was penned,
  • explain why you cherry-pick a few verses from two-thirds into the chapter, ignoring a litany of other threats, and
  • document when and where each of those threats was fulfilled.
Take your time, and feel free to be as creative as necessary.
