The Scofield Bible Commentary: Deuteronomy: Deuteronomy Chapter 30
The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917]
turn thy captivity
The Palestinian Covenant gives the conditions under which Israel entered the land of promise. It is important to see that the nation has never as yet taken the land under the unconditional Abrahamic Covenant, nor has it ever possessed the whole land (Compare (Gen 15:18); (Num 34:1-12).
The Palestinian Covenant is in seven parts.
(1) Dispersion for disobedience, (Deu 30:1); (Deu 28:63-68).
(See Scofield) - (Gen 15:18)
(2) The future repentance of Israel while in the dispersion, (Deu 30:2).
(3) The return of the Lord, (Deu 30:3); (Amo 9:9-14); (Act 15:14-17).
(4) Restoration to the land, (Deu 30:5); (Isa 11:11); (Isa 11:12); (Jer 23:3-8); (Eze 37:21-25).
(5) National conversion, (Deu 30:6); (Rom 11:26); (Rom 11:27); (Hos 2:14-16).
(6) The judgment of Israel's oppressors, (Deu 30:7); (Isa 14:1); (Isa 14:2); (Joe 3:1-8); (Mat 25:31-46).
(7) National prosperity, (Deu 30:9); (Amo 9:11-14).
