then I will walk contrary to you in wrath; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.

the blessing, if you shall listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I command you this day;
28
and the curse, if you shall not listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known.
5
Your basket and your kneading trough shall be blessed.
15
But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you this day, that all these curses shall come on you, and overtake you.

You have rebuked the proud who are cursed, who wander from your commandments.

You shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen; and the Lord Yahweh will kill you; and he will call his servants by another name:
22
For I didn't speak to your fathers, nor command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
23
but this thing I commanded them, saying, Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people; and walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.
24
But they didn't listen nor turn their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
25
Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:
9
I will even give them up to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil; to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them.
10
I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, until they be consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.

All that pass by clap their hands at you. They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men called The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
16
All your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you; They hiss and gnash the teeth; they say, We have swallowed her up; Certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.
17
Yahweh has done that which he purposed; he has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old; He has thrown down, and has not pitied: He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you; he has exalted the horn of your adversaries.
15
The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine within: he who is in the field shall die with the sword: and he who is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
21
For thus says the Lord Yahweh: How much more when I send my four severe judgments on Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil animals, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and animal!
Il est surprenant de constater qu'un peuple aussi béni par le ciel, soit ensuite, autant rejeté ; il est également surprenant de voir comment Israël a été dispersé dans tous les pays du monde, sans toutefois se mélanger aux autres nations. Si le peuple ne servait pas Dieu avec joie, il devait s'attendre à être irrésistiblement soumis à ses ennemis.
Si nous ne craignons pas le Nom terrible de l'Éternel, nous pouvons vraiment nous attendre à subir Ses épouvantables fléaux ; quelle que soit l'issue finale des événements, tous les hommes finiront par craindre Dieu. Il est même annoncé à Israël, qu'il sera retranché de la « terre promise », verset Deutéronome 28:63. Ceci s'est d'abord réalisé, lors de la captivité des Juifs, à Babylone, mais aussi, quand Jérusalem fut détruite par les Romains, et que ses habitants ne purent, là encore, rester en Palestine. Les Israélites ne devaient plus connaître le repos, même pour « la plante de leurs pieds », verset Deutéronome 28:65 ; ils devaient errer continuellement, en devant s'attendre soit à une prospérité éventuelle, soit à la crainte d'être persécutés. Même leur âme ne sera pas en paix, ce qui est le plus dramatique. Ils devaient être bannis de ville en ville, de pays en pays ; aller ça et là, toujours rejetés.
Ces événements, comparés à la faveur témoignée à Israël, au début de son existence, par toutes les prophéties qui le mentionnaient, ne devraient pas nous seulement nous étonner, mais surtout nous convaincre de la véracité de la Parole de Dieu.
Quand la prophétie finale, sur la conversion d'Israël à Christ, se réalisera, ce sera alors un signe miraculeux pour toutes les nations, le signe précurseur de la diffusion mondiale du vrai christianisme. L'accomplissement de toutes les prophéties relatives au peuple Juif, s'est déroulé jusqu'à présent, sur environ trois mille ans : cela prouve que Moïse parlait bien sous l'inspiration de l'Esprit divin ; il ne prédisait pas simplement la ruine des pécheurs, mais il tentait surtout de les avertir, afin qu'ils se repentent sincèrement, ou qu'ils soient ainsi sans excuses, en cas de désobéissance délibérée.
Soyons reconnaissants que Christ nous ait sauvé des malédictions de la loi divine, en étant maudit à notre place, à la croix. Il a en effet porté toute la punition que nous méritions éternellement, à cause de nos péchés. Que les pécheurs puissent se tourner vers ce Refuge du salut ; que les croyants se réjouissent en Lui, et servent Dieu d'un cœur joyeux, dans l'abondance de Ses bénédictions spirituelles !
