SEV Biblia, Chapter 32:34
¿No tengo yo esto guardado, sellado en mis tesoros?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:34
Verse 34. Sealed up among my treasures?] Deeds or engagements by which persons were bound at a specified time to fulfill certain conditions, were sealed and laid up in places of safety; so here God's justice is pledged to avenge the quarrel of his broken covenant on the disobedient Jews, but the time and manner were sealed in his treasures, and known only to himself. Hence it is said:-
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 34. [Is] not this laid up in store with me , etc.] The fruit of the degenerate vine, its bitter clusters of grapes, and poisonous wine; meaning the evil principles and practices of the apostate church, well known to God, taken notice of by him, and laid up in his mind and memory; for both she and her sins will come in remembrance before God, and will be brought to open view, and appear to have been laid up by him, in order to be exposed at a proper time; (see Revelation 16:19 18:5); and so the Targums interpret it of evil works: or this may be understood of the punishment of the evil doctrines and practices of the antichristian church, the sentence of which God had secretly passed in his eternal mind, and which he had in reserve, and in due time would execute; it was drawn and signed by him, and, as he says, [and] sealed up among my treasures ; his treasures of wrath, denoting the secrecy of it, and the sure and certain performance of it, and the authority of Christ to execute it; to whom this sealed diploma is given, and all judgment committed; and particularly this to judge the whore of Rome; and who, is able to open the sealed book of God’s purposes and decrees, and to accomplish them; and among the rest those which relate to the utter ruin of antichrist, and the antichristian states: so the Targum of Jerusalem, interprets it of the vengeance of the Lord, laid up for the wicked; “is not the cup of the judgment of vengeance mixed and prepared for the ungodly sealed up among my treasures, to the day of the great judgment?” it is true of the cup of the wine of the fierceness of the wrath of God, or of the wine of the wrath of God poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation, which he will make great Babylon, and all the worshippers of the beast, drink of, ( Revelation 14:9,10 16:19).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 26-38 - The idolatry and rebellions of Israel deserved, and the justice of God seemed to demand, that they should be rooted out. But He spared Israel and continues them still to be living witnesses of the truth of the Bible, and to silence unbelievers. They are preserved for wise and holy purposes and the prophecies give us some idea what those purposes are The Lord will never disgrace the throne of his glory. It is grea wisdom, and will help much to the return of sinners to God, seriousl to consider their latter end, or the future state. It is here mean particularly of what God foretold by Moses, about this people in the latter days; but it may be applied generally. Oh that men woul consider the happiness they will lose, and the misery they wil certainly plunge into, if they go on in their trespasses! What will be in the end thereof? Jer 5:31. For the Lord will in due time bring dow the enemies of the church, in displeasure against their wickedness When sinners deem themselves most secure, they suddenly fall int destruction. And God's time to appear for the deliverance of his people, is when things are at the worst with them. But those who trus to any rock but God, will find it fail them when they most need it. The rejection of the Messiah by the Jewish nation, is the continuance of their ancient idolatry, apostacy, and rebellion. They shall be brough to humble themselves before the Lord, to repent of their sins, and to trust in their long-rejected Mediator for salvation. Then he wil deliver them, and make their prosperity great.
