What is the fulfillment Of Deuteronomy 28:12?
Upvote:1
Both of the prophecies in the OP are conditional, so strictly speaking, they would be fulfilled only if the conditions are met. Duet. 28 begins:
If you obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God.
The promise of Deut. 15:6 is immediately preceded by another conditional sentence:
There will be no poor among you (for the Lord will bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance to possess), if only you will obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all this commandment which I command you this day...
Here, the promise that "there will be no poor among you" is the basis for being able to lend without borrowing. But, just a few verses later, the text instructs Israelites to be generous toward the poor because:
for this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake. For the poor will never cease out of the land; therefore I command you, You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in the land. (15:10-11)
Conclusion: Because these prophecies are conditional, their realization is dependent on human response to God's will. Therefore we need not expect that the prophecies would be positively fulfilled. Indeed, it is clear from Deut. 15:11 that the author does not expect the promise of 15:6 to be realized.
