ch.30 The wonderful words of comfort that Moses gives to the children of Israel - that despite their rebellion if they repent God will hear them - is a wonderful comfort to us. Solomon bases his prayer at the dedication of the temple [1 Kings 8 2 Chronicles 6] on this section in Deuteronomy - look at the similarities of language for yourself.

God had just taken the children of Israel to Him as a special people... the second time! All the generation of those who despised Him had died in the wilderness, and now God was renewing His covenant with their children. This covenant was a two way bargain:
- They would be a Kingdom of special people, showing others around them how good God's laws were;
- He would bless them above any other nation as a result of them keeping His laws.
So we can see that bound up in both sides of that bargain was a keeping of God's law. It simply couldn't work without it. The law was the way in which they would become special. And the law was the way that God would bless them. How so? Well, firstly, the law gave their society such a perfect moral, social, and economic structure, that life would simply be better than it had been before. Secondly, keeping of the law would show God that they meant to serve Him, and He would reward them with extra blessings. Thirdly, recognition that God was with them would bring them the awe of the neighbouring nations. This would protect them and create trading alliances, increasing their prosperity as can be seen during the reign of Solomon.

v. 19-20: The choice: Is this not the same choice God gave man in the garden. Choose to obey my voice and not eat of the tree and live or eat an die. Only in obedience was the way of the tree of life left open to man. This choice has now been given to us. The consistency of God remains.

28:29 An ability to find one’s way at “noonday” as a curse against those who would not obey God’s laws is seen in the way in which Saul of Tarsus was struck blind at midday – Acts 9:3, 22:6, 26:13

v2 Look at the emphasis upon the "heart" in this chapter
v2: obey with all your heart
v6 circumcise your heart so that you will love God with all your heart
v10 repent with all your heart
v14 the word is in your heart
So what is the enemy of serving God with all our heart?
Answer:
v17 Idolatry! We cannot serve God with all our heart if there are other gods filling our heart.

28:1The promise that God would set faithful Israel “on high” takes the promise of Psa 91:4 which was, it seems a promise made to Joshua and gives it an application beyond being fulfilled in just one person. So Joshua’s experience of deliverance in the wilderness even though he was of the age of those who died in the wilderness due to rebelliousness was to be experienced by the nation if faithful in believing God’s promise.

1. And it shall come to pass, when all these things <1697> are come <935>(8799) upon thee, the blessing <1293> and the curse <7045>, which I have set <5414>(8804) before <6440> thee, and thou shalt call <7725>(8689) them to mind <3824> among all the nations <1471>, whither the LORD <3068> thy God <430> hath driven <5080>(8689) thee,
2. And shalt return <7725>(8804) unto the LORD <3068> thy God <430>, and shalt obey <8085>(8804) his voice <6963> according to all that I command <6680>(8764) thee this day <3117>, thou and thy children <1121>, with all thine heart <3824>, and with all thy soul <5315>;
3. That then the LORD <3068> thy God <430> will turn <7725>(8804) thy captivity <7622>, and have compassion <7355>(8765) upon thee, and will return <7725>(8804) and gather <6908>(8765) thee from all the nations <5971>, whither the LORD <3068> thy God <430> hath scattered <6327>(8689) thee.
4. If any of thine be driven out <5080>(8737) unto the outmost <7097> parts of heaven <8064>, from thence will the LORD <3068> thy God <430> gather <6908>(8762) thee, and from thence will he fetch <3947>(8799) thee:
5. And the LORD <3068> thy God <430> will bring <935>(8689) thee into the land <776> which thy fathers <1> possessed <3423>(8804), and thou shalt possess <3423>(8804) it; and he will do thee good <3190>(8689), and multiply <7235>(8689) thee above thy fathers <1>.
6. And the LORD <3068> thy God <430> will circumcise <4135>(8804) thine heart <3824>, and the heart <3824> of thy seed <2233>, to love <157>(8800) the LORD <3068> thy God <430> with all thine heart <3824>, and with all thy soul <5315>, that thou mayest live <2416>.
7. And the LORD <3068> thy God <430> will put <5414>(8804) all these curses <423> upon thine enemies <341>(8802), and on them that hate <8130>(8802) thee, which persecuted <7291>(8804) thee.
8. And thou shalt return <7725>(8799) and obey <8085>(8804) the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068>, and do <6213>(8804) all his commandments <4687> which I command <6680>(8764) thee this day <3117>.
9. And the LORD <3068> thy God <430> will make thee plenteous <3498>(8689) in every work <4639> of thine hand <3027>, in the fruit <6529> of thy body <990>, and in the fruit <6529> of thy cattle <929>, and in the fruit <6529> of thy land <127>, for good <2896>: for the LORD <3068> will again <7725>(8799) rejoice <7797>(8800) over thee for good <2896>, as he rejoiced <7797>(8804) over thy fathers <1>:
10. If thou shalt hearken <8085>(8799) unto the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> thy God <430>, to keep <8104>(8800) his commandments <4687> and his statutes <2708> which are written <3789>(8803) in this book <5612> of the law <8451>, and if thou turn <7725>(8799) unto the LORD <3068> thy God <430> with all thine heart <3824>, and with all thy soul <5315>.
11. For this commandment <4687> which I command <6680>(8764) thee this day <3117>, it is not hidden <6381>(8737) from thee, neither is it far off <7350>.
12. It is not in heaven <8064>, that thou shouldest say <559>(8800), Who shall go up <5927>(8799) for us to heaven <8064>, and bring <3947>(8799) it unto us, that we may hear <8085>(8686) it, and do <6213>(8799) it?
13. Neither is it beyond <5676> the sea <3220>, that thou shouldest say <559>(8800), Who shall go <5674>(8799) over <5676> the sea <3220> for us, and bring <3947>(8799) it unto us, that we may hear <8085>(8686) it, and do <6213>(8799) it?
14. But the word <1697> is very <3966> nigh <7138> unto thee, in thy mouth <6310>, and in thy heart <3824>, that thou mayest do <6213>(8800) it.
15. See <7200>(8798), I have set <5414>(8804) before <6440> thee this day <3117> life <2416> and good <2896>, and death <4194> and evil <7451>;
16. In that I command <6680>(8764) thee this day <3117> to love <157>(8800) the LORD <3068> thy God <430>, to walk <3212>(8800) in his ways <1870>, and to keep <8104>(8800) his commandments <4687> and his statutes <2708> and his judgments <4941>, that thou mayest live <2421>(8804) and multiply <7235>(8804): and the LORD <3068> thy God <430> shall bless <1288>(8765) thee in the land <776> whither thou goest <935>(8802) to possess <3423>(8800) it.
17. But if thine heart <3824> turn away <6437>(8799), so that thou wilt not hear <8085>(8799), but shalt be drawn away <5080>(8738), and worship <7812>(8694) other <312> gods <430>, and serve <5647>(8804) them;
18. I denounce <5046>(8689) unto you this day <3117>, that ye shall surely <6>(8800) perish <6>(8799), and that ye shall not prolong <748>(8686) your days <3117> upon the land <127>, whither thou passest over <5674>(8802) Jordan <3383> to go <935>(8800) to possess <3423>(8800) it.
19. I call <5749> <0> heaven <8064> and earth <776> to record <5749>(8689) this day <3117> against you, that I have set <5414>(8804) before <6440> you life <2416> and death <4194>, blessing <1293> and cursing <7045>: therefore choose <977>(8804) life <2416>, that both thou and thy seed <2233> may live <2421>(8799):
20. That thou mayest love <157>(8800) the LORD <3068> thy God <430>, and that thou mayest obey <8085>(8800) his voice <6963>, and that thou mayest cleave <1692>(8800) unto him: for he is thy life <2416>, and the length <753> of thy days <3117>: that thou mayest dwell <3427>(8800) in the land <127> which the LORD <3068> sware <7650>(8738) unto thy fathers <1>, to Abraham <85>, to Isaac <3327>, and to Jacob <3290>, to give <5414>(8800) them.
Notes that are not verse specific
2:5 The appeal to the nation to come and walk in the light of the Lord has to be seen against the dire warning that Micah gave, that Jerusalem would be ploughed as a field (Mic 3:12). We know that good king Hezekiah took heed to what Micah said – Jer 26:19) – and so the judgment did not come in his days. However the people disregarded the warning of the prophets and so eventually Jerusalem was ploughed as a field by the Romans.

Notes that are not verse specific
Some might think that as the Acts is so much concerned with the work of Paul that his death might have been recorded. However the Acts is not so much concerned with the life of Paul as the spreading of the gospel. Paul was just a tool, therefore his death, in that sense, is not important and so is not recorded.
Peter Forbes [Mountsorrel (UK)] Comment added in 2002 Reply to Peter
WHEREVER WE ARE
Paul's mission in life was to spread the gospel to as many people as he possibly could - to the Jew first and then to the Gentile. By the time we come to the end of the book of Acts he had travelled through most of the known world of that time preaching the gospel to whoever would hear. The amazing thing about Paul was that sometimes he went where he wanted to go, other times he was led by God and at other times he was taken as a prisoner where he did not want to go, but wherever he went and no matter what his circumstances were when he got there, he always made the most of his situation to preach the gospel. And so, as a prisoner heading to Rome the gospel message was heard by nearly everyone he met.Wherever he was, whatever his circumstances he made sure that the gospel got out.
We have much more freedom than Paul had. We are not bound with chains and going to places we have no control over, so we should be able to get the message of the gospel out much more freely than Paul. He could do it wherever he was, why can't we?

TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
Jesus had told his disciples, "... the Holy Spirit shall come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the ends of the earth." For Paul, however, "the ends of the earth" was Rome.
Paul's goal was to take the gospel to Rome, and finally in this chapter he gets there in chains. His trip was tumultuous through ship wreck, and many trials, yet through the grace of God, he made it. Although Paul may have wished for an easier journey, he knew that God had greatly blessed him to accomplish this mission, and God can do the same for us.
We are included in the out working of the Great Commission that the Lord gave his disciples Acts 1:8, let us regardless of our situation, "press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus", never wavering, but realizing that "God's will" - will be done!

2. And <1161> the barbarous people <915> shewed <3930>(5707) us <2254> no <3756> little <5177>(5631) kindness <5363>: for <1063> they kindled <381>(5660) a fire <4443>, and received <4355>(5639) us <2248> every one <3956>, because <1223> of the present <2186>(5761) rain <5205>, and <2532> because <1223> of the cold <5592>.
3. And <1161> when Paul <3972> had gathered <4962>(5660) a bundle <4128> of sticks <5434>, and <2532> laid <2007>(5631) them on <1909> the fire <4443>, there came <1831>(5631) a viper <2191> out of <1537> the heat <2329>, and fastened on <2510>(5656) his <846> hand <5495>.
4. And <1161> when <5613> the barbarians <915> saw <1492>(5627) the venomous beast <2342> hang <2910>(5734) on <1537> his <846> hand <5495>, they said <3004>(5707) among <4314> themselves <240>, No doubt <3843> this <3778> man <444> is <2076>(5748) a murderer <5406>, whom <3739>, though he hath escaped <1295>(5685) <1537> the sea <2281>, yet vengeance <1349> suffereth <1439>(5656) not <3756> to live <2198>(5721).
5. And <3303> <3767> he shook off <660>(5660) the beast <2342> into <1519> the fire <4442>, and felt <3958>(5627) no <3762> harm <2556>.
6. Howbeit <1161> they looked <4328>(5707) when he <846> should <3195>(5721) have swollen <4092>(5745), or <2228> fallen down <2667>(5721) dead <3498> suddenly <869>: but <1161> after they had looked <4328>(5723) a great while <1909> <4183>, and <2532> saw <2334>(5723) no <3367> harm <824> come <1096>(5740) to <1519> him <846>, they changed their minds <3328>(5734), and said <3004>(5707) that he <846> was <1511>(5750) a god <2316>.
7. <1161> In <1722> <4012> the same <1565> quarters <5117> were <5225>(5707) possessions <5564> of the chief man <4413> of the island <3520>, whose name was <3686> Publius <4196>; who <3739> received <324>(5666) us <2248>, and lodged us <3579>(5656) three <5140> days <2250> courteously <5390>.
8. And <1161> it came to pass <1096>(5633), that the father <3962> of Publius <4196> lay <2621>(5738) sick of <4912>(5746) a fever <4446> and <2532> of a bloody flux <1420>: to <4314> whom <3739> Paul <3972> entered in <1525>(5631), and <2532> prayed <4336>(5666), and laid <2007> <0> his hands <5495> on <2007>(5631) him <846>, and healed <2390>(5662) him <846>.
9. So <3767> when <1096> <0> this <5127> was done <1096>(5637), others <3062> also <2532>, which <3588> had <2192>(5723) diseases <769> in <1722> the island <3520>, came <4334>(5711), and <2532> were healed <2323>(5712):
10. Who <3739> also <2532> honoured <5092> us <2248> with many <4183> honours <5091>(5656); and <2532> when we departed <321>(5746), they laded <2007>(5639) us with such things as <4314> were necessary <5532>.
11. And <1161> after <3326> three <5140> months <3376> we departed <321>(5681) in <1722> a ship <4143> of Alexandria <222>, which had wintered <3914>(5761) in <1722> the isle <3520>, whose sign <3902> was Castor and Pollux <1359>.
12. And <2532> landing <2609>(5685) at <1519> Syracuse <4946>, we tarried <1961>(5656) there three <5140> days <2250>.
13. And from thence <3606> we fetched a compass <4022>(5631), and came <2658>(5656) to <1519> Rhegium <4484>: and <2532> after <3326> one <3391> day <2250> the south wind <3558> blew <1920>(5637), and we came <2064>(5627) the next day <1206> to <1519> Puteoli <4223>:
14. Where <3757> we found <2147>(5631) brethren <80>, and were desired <3870>(5681) to tarry <1961>(5658) with <1909> them <846> seven <2033> days <2250>: and <2532> so <3779> we went <2064>(5627) toward <1519> Rome <4516>.
15. And from thence <2547>, when the brethren <80> heard <191>(5660) of <4012> us <2257>, they came <1831>(5627) to meet <529> <1519> us <2254> as far as <891> Appii <675> forum <5410>, and <2532> The three <5140> taverns <4999>: whom <3739> when Paul <3972> saw <1492>(5631), he thanked <2168>(5660) God <2316>, and took <2983>(5627) courage <2294>.
16. And <1161> when <3753> we came <2064>(5627) to <1519> Rome <4516>, the centurion <1543> delivered <3860>(5656) the prisoners <1198> to the captain of the guard <4759>: but <1161> Paul <3972> was suffered <2010>(5681) to dwell <3306>(5721) by <2596> himself <1438> with <4862> a soldier <4757> that kept <5442>(5723) him <846>.
17. And <1161> it came to pass <1096>(5633), that after <3326> three <5140> days <2250> Paul <3972> called <4779> <0> the chief <4413> <5607>(5752) of the Jews <2453> together <4779>(5670): and <1161> when they <846> were come together <4905>(5631), he said <3004>(5707) unto <4314> them <846>, Men <435> and brethren <80>, though I <1473> have committed <4160>(5660) nothing <3762> against <1727> the people <2992>, or <2228> customs <1485> of our fathers <3971>, yet was I delivered <3860>(5681) prisoner <1198> from <1537> Jerusalem <2414> into <1519> the hands <5495> of the Romans <4514>.
18. Who <3748>, when they had examined <350>(5660) me <3165>, would <1014>(5711) have let me go <630>(5658), because <1223> there was <5225>(5721) no <3367> cause <156> of death <2288> in <1722> me <1698>.
19. But <1161> when the Jews <2453> spake against <483>(5723) it, I was constrained <315>(5681) to appeal <1941>(5670) unto Caesar <2541>; not <3756> that <5613> I had <2192>(5723) ought <5100> to accuse <2723> <0> my <3450> nation <1484> of <2723>(5658).
20. For <1223> this <5026> cause <156> therefore <3767> have I called <3870>(5656) for you <5209>, to see <1492>(5629) you, and <2532> to speak with <4354>(5658) you: because that <1752> for <1063> the hope <1680> of Israel <2474> I am bound with <4029>(5736) this <5026> chain <254>.
21. And <1161> they said <2036>(5627) unto <4314> him <846>, We <2249> neither <3777> received <1209>(5662) letters <1121> out of <575> Judaea <2449> concerning <4012> thee <4675>, neither <3777> any <5100> of the brethren <80> that came <3854>(5637) shewed <518>(5656) or <2228> spake <2980>(5656) any <5100> harm <4190> of <4012> thee <4675>.
22. But <1161> we desire <515>(5719) to hear <191>(5658) of <3844> thee <4675> what <3739> thou thinkest <5426>(5719): for <1063> as concerning <4012> <3303> this <5026> sect <139>, we <2254> know <2076>(5748) <1110> that <3754> every where <3837> it is spoken against <483>(5743).
23. And <1161> when they had appointed <5021>(5671) him <846> a day <2250>, there came <2240>(5707) many <4119> to <4314> him <846> into <1519> his lodging <3578>; to whom <3739> he expounded <1620>(5710) and testified <1263>(5740) the kingdom <932> of God <2316>, persuading <3982>(5723) them <846> concerning <4012> Jesus <2424>, both <5037> out of <575> the law <3551> of Moses <3475>, and <2532> out of the prophets <4396>, from <575> morning <4404> till <2193> evening <2073>.
24. And <2532> some <3303> believed <3982>(5712) the things which were spoken <3004>(5746), and <1161> some believed not <569>(5707).
25. And <1161> when they agreed not <800> <5607>(5752) among <4314> themselves <240>, they departed <630>(5710), after that Paul <3972> had spoken <2036>(5631) one <1520> word <4487>, <3754> Well <2573> spake <2980>(5656) the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> by <1223> Esaias <2268> the prophet <4396> unto <4314> our <2257> fathers <3962>,
26. Saying <3004>(5723), Go <4198>(5676) unto <4314> this <5126> people <2992>, and <2532> say <2036>(5628), Hearing <189> ye shall hear <191>(5692), and <2532> shall <4920> <0> not <3364> understand <4920>(5655); and <2532> seeing <991>(5723) ye shall see <991>(5692), and <2532> not <3364> perceive <1492>(5632):
27. For <1063> the heart <2588> of this <5127> people <2992> is waxed gross <3975>(5681), and <2532> their <846> ears <3775> are dull <917> of hearing <191>(5656), and <2532> their <848> eyes <3788> have they closed <2576>(5656); lest <3379> <4218> they should see <1492>(5632) with their eyes <3788>, and <2532> hear <191>(5661) with their ears <3775>, and <2532> understand <4920>(5632) with their heart <2588>, and <2532> should be converted <1994>(5661), and <2532> I should heal <2390>(5667) them <846>.
28. Be it <2077>(5749) known <1110> therefore <3767> unto you <5213>, that <3754> the salvation <4992> of God <2316> is sent <649>(5648) unto the Gentiles <1484>, and <2532> that they will hear <191>(5695) it <846>.
29. And <2532> when he had said <2036>(5631) these words <5023>, the Jews <2453> departed <565>(5627), and had <2192>(5723) great <4183> reasoning <4803> among <1722> themselves <1438>.
30. And <1161> Paul <3972> dwelt <3306>(5656) two <1333> <0> whole <3650> years <1333> in <1722> his own <2398> hired house <3410>, and <2532> received <588>(5711) all <3956> that came in <1531>(5740)(5734) unto <4314> him <846>,
31. Preaching <2784>(5723) the kingdom <932> of God <2316>, and <2532> teaching <1321>(5723) those things which concern <4012> the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, with <3326> all <3956> confidence <3954>, no man forbidding him <209>.
