Deuteronomy 28:51
Read Deuteronomy 28:51 Using Other Translations
What does Deuteronomy 28:51 mean?
And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle
Larger and lesser, oxen and sheep, as their calves and lambs, and
kids of the goat:
and the fruit of thy land;
their wheat, barley, figs, grapes, pomegranates, olives, and
dates:
until thou be destroyed;
the land of Judea, and all the increase of it: this being before
said, ( Deuteronomy
28:31 Deuteronomy
28:33 ) ; and here repeated, shows that the same should be
fulfilled at different times, as by the Chaldeans, so by the
Romans; whose nation, or army, with their general at the head of
them, may be more especially here intended by "he", that should
eat up their fruit until utter destruction was brought upon them:
which [also] shall not leave thee [either] corn, wine, or
oil, [or]
the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he
have
destroyed thee;
all being consumed by the Roman army. There is a promise and
prophecy, that though this would be the case, as it has been,
there shall be a time when it shall be so no more; see ( Isaiah 62:8 Isaiah 62:9 ) .
