Notes: 注解：

Deuteronomy 28:1, 2 diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God. "Diligently obey" stressed the need for complete obedience on the part of Israel. The people could not legally or personally merit God's goodness and blessing; but their constant desire to obey, worship, and maintain a right relation to Him was evidence of their true faith in and love for Him (see 6:5). It was also evidence of God's gracious work in their hearts. 申命记 28:1, 2 殷勤听从耶和华你神的话。 "殷勤听从"强调了以色列人需要完全顺服。百姓不能靠法律或个人功绩赢得神的恩惠和祝福；但他们持续渴望顺服、敬拜、与神保持正确关系，乃是他们对祂真实信心和爱的明证（参见6:5）。这也是神的恩典在他们心中工作的证据。

Deuteronomy 28:1 high above all nations. If Israel obeyed the Lord, ultimate blessing would be given in the form of preeminence above all the nations of the world (see 26:19). The indispensable condition for obtaining this blessing was salvation, resulting in obedience to the Lord in the form of keeping His commandments. This blessing will ultimately come to pass in the millennial kingdom, particularly designed to exalt Israel's King, the Messiah, and His nation (see Zech. 13:1–14:21; Rom. 11:25–27). 申命记 28:1 在万国之上。 如果以色列顺服神，最终的祝福将以在世界万国之上的卓越地位体现（参见26:19）。获得这祝福的不可或缺条件是得救，并通过遵守祂的诫命而顺服主。这祝福将最终在千年国度实现，特别是为高举以色列的王弥赛亚和祂的国度（参见亚13:1-14:21；罗11:25-27）。

Proverbs 13:8 ransom...riches,...poor...rebuke. Riches deliver some from punishment, while others suffer, because they will not heed the rebuke of laziness, which keeps them poor. 箴言 13:8 赎价...财富...贫穷...责备。 财富使某些人免于惩罚，而另一些人遭受苦难，因为他们不听从关于懒惰的责备，这使他们贫穷。

Luke 6:41 speck...plank. The humor of the imagery was no doubt intentional. Christ often employed hyperbole to paint comical images (see 18:25; Matt. 23:24). 路加福音 6:41 刺...梁木。 这个意象中的幽默无疑是故意的。基督经常使用夸张的比喻来描绘滑稽的画面（参见18:25；太23:24）。

Luke 6:46 you call Me 'Lord, Lord.' It is not sufficient to give lip service to Christ's lordship. Genuine faith produces obedience. A tree is known by its fruits (v. 44). See Matthew 7:21–23. 路加福音 6:46 你们为什么称呼我'主啊，主啊'。 对基督的主权仅仅口头承认是不够的。真正的信心会产生顺服。树以其果子为人所知（第44节）。参见马太福音7:21-23。

DAY 2: What did God promise would happen to Israel if they disobeyed the law? 第2天：神应许如果以色列人不顺服律法会发生什么？

Their obedience centers around "this glorious and awesome name, THE LORD YOUR GOD," as described in Deuteronomy 28:58 and would lead to fearing the Lord, whose "name" represents His presence and character. The title "LORD (Yahweh)" revealed the glory and greatness of God (see Ex. 3:15). Significantly, the phrase "the LORD your God" is used approximately 280 times in the Book of Deuteronomy. The full measure of the divine curse would come on Israel when its disobedience had been hardened into disregard for the glorious and awesome character of God. In vv. 15, 45, Moses described curses for disobedience; hence, the worst of the curses come when disobedience is hardened into failure to fear God. Only God's grace would save a small remnant (v. 62), thus keeping Israel from being annihilated (see Mal. 2:2). In contrast to the promise made to Abraham in Genesis 15:5, the physical seed of Abraham under God's curse would be reduced. As God had multiplied the seed of the patriarchs in Egypt (see Ex. 1:7), He would decimate their numbers to make them as nothing until His restoration of the nation in a future day (see 30:5). 他们的顺服以"这可荣耀可畏的名，就是耶和华你的神"为中心，如申命记28:58所描述，并将导致敬畏主——祂的"名"代表祂的同在和品格。"耶和华"这个称号显明了神的荣耀和伟大（参见出3:15）。值得注意的是，"耶和华你的神"这个短语在申命记中大约使用了280次。当以色列人的悖逆堆积到不再敬畏神荣耀可畏的品格时，神的咒诅就会全面临到。在第15和45节，摩西描述了悖逆的咒诅；因此，最严重的咒诅发生在悖逆硬化成不敬畏神的时候。只有神的恩典会拯救一小群余民（第62节），从而使以色列不至于完全灭绝。与创世记15:5对亚伯拉罕的应许相反，在神的咒诅下，亚伯拉罕的肉身后裔将被减少。正如神在埃及曾使列祖的后裔繁多（参见出1:7），祂现在将削减他们的人数，直到在将来的某一天恢复这个国度（参见30:5）。

In v. 64, it warns that "the LORD will scatter you." The Jews remaining after the curses fall would be dispersed by the Lord ultimately to serve false gods, restlessly and fearfully throughout all the nations of the earth (see Neh. 1:8, 9; Jer. 30:11; Ezek. 11:16). This dispersion began with the captivity of the northern kingdom, Israel (722 B.C.), then the southern kingdom, Judah (586 B.C.), and is still a reality today. In the future earthly kingdom of Messiah, Israel will experience its regathering in faith, salvation, and righteousness. (See Is. 59:19–21; Jer. 31:31–34; Ezek. 36:8–37:14; Zech. 12:10–14:21.) 在第64节，警告说"耶和华必使你四散到万国中"。在咒诅临到后剩下的犹太人将被主分散，最终去服侍假神，在地上万国中不安且恐惧（参见尼1:8,9；耶30:11；结11:16）。这种分散始于北国以色列的被掳（公元前722年），后是南国犹大（公元前586年），直到今天仍是现实。在未来地上的弥赛亚国度中，以色列将在信心、拯救和公义中经历重新聚集。（参见赛59:19-21；耶31:31-34；结36:8-37:14；亚12:10-14:21）

In fact, Israel would be so abandoned by God that she would not even be able to sell herself into slavery (v. 68). The curse of God would bring Israel into a seemingly hopeless condition (see Hos. 8:13; 9:3). The specific mention of Egypt could be symbolic for any lands where the Jews have been taken into bondage or sold as slaves. But it is true that after the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, which was a judgment on the apostasy of Israel and their rejection and execution of the Messiah, this prophecy was actually fulfilled. The Roman general Titus, who conquered Jerusalem and Israel, sent 17,000 adult Jews to Egypt to perform hard labor there and had those who were under 17 years old publicly sold. Under the Roman emperor Hadrian, countless Jews were sold and suffered such bondage and cruelty. 事实上，以色列将被神如此抛弃，以至于她甚至无法将自己卖为奴隶（第68节）。神的咒诅将使以色列陷入看似毫无希望的境地（参见何8:13；9:3）。特别提到埃及可能象征任何犹太人被俘或被卖为奴隶的土地。但诚然，在公元70年耶路撒冷被毁后——这是对以色列背道和拒绝、处死弥赛亚的审判——这预言确实应验了。征服耶路撒冷和以色列的罗马将军提图斯将1.7万名成年犹太人送到埃及进行艰苦劳动，并公开出售17岁以下的人。在罗马皇帝哈德良统治下，无数犹太人被卖，遭受了这样的奴役和残酷对待。
