Literally read the next two chapters. Ch 30 prophesies the return to the land after exile and the beginning of the cycle again. Choose life and obedience. Jesus preached repentance. Moses warned them beforehand to not choose to need repentance. A good Father disciplines his sons.
Yes, but the key here is to TURN AWAY -- and none of them have turned away nor gone back to the promise upon which the Covenant was made (i.e,. see Ahaus667 quoting Deuteronomy 30:15-18).
All of first and second Kings has every single prophet of God repeating what was said in Deuteronomy (with far few and of the rulers in Judah adhering to them). A good example is 2 Kings 22:16-28; while scriptures such as Jeremiah 33:17 and Isaiah 66:8-10 reiterate that point ad nauseam.
It's like being told you'll receive a fancy five-star meal whilst keeping your hand out of the cookie jar and to NEVER put your hand back in the cookie jar.
They still have their hand in the cookie jar.
You must not know many Jews. There's more ppl of Jewish heritage who follow Jesus today than in the first century. Estimates I've seen reach nearly 2 million. Even many of those who don't pledge allegiance to Jesus as Messiah are not hostile towards him but are waiting for the rest of the plan to come to fruition to verify his messianic claim. God is working all things together in his perfect timing for the good of those who love Him and are called according to his purposes.
What? If he plan comes to fruition they burn eternally, might want to reeducate them on that…
They will see Him in the flesh and believe, same as St. Thomas. In the meantime, the Spirit is doing his work on the earth through the children who obey His voice and share His words with the natural branches. There is no enmity between the natural and the grafted.
