Deuteronomy 18:19 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 18:19

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken
unto my words
To the doctrines of the Gospel, but slight and despise them:

which he shall speak in my name;
in whose name he came, and whose words or doctrines he declared them to be; not as his own, but his Father's, ( John 5:43 ) ( 7:16 ) .

I will require it of him;
or, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan,

``my Word shall require it of him, or take vengeance on him;''

as Christ the Word of God did in the destruction of the Jewish nation, city, and temple; see ( Luke 19:27 Luke 19:44 ) .

Deuteronomy 18:19 In-Context

17 And the Lord said to me: They have spoken all things well.

18 I will raise them up a prophet out of the midst of their brethren like to thee: and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.

19 And he that will not hear his words, which he shall speak in my name, I will be the revenger.

20 But the prophet, who being corrupted with pride, shall speak in my name things that I did not command him to say, or in the name of strange gods, shall be slain.

21 And if in silent thought thou answer: How shall I know the word that the Lord hath not spoken?
