Deuteronomy 28:45-68 – The Inevitability and Severity of the Curse for Disobedience

These verses emphasize the inevitability and lasting nature of the curses that would come upon Israel if they disobeyed God. Moses warns that all the curses previously described will relentlessly pursue and overtake the people until they are destroyed. This happens because they did not obey the voice of the LORD their God by keeping His commandments and statutes (Deuteronomy 28:45-46 a). The curses are not random but are the direct result of their refusal to listen and obey God. These judgments would serve as a sign and a wonder upon them and their descendants forever, becoming a warning to all nations of the consequences of rejecting God’s rule and the truth of His judgments (Deuteronomy 28:45-46 b).
