I'm curious how the reformed understand Deuteronomy 30:1-10, especially verses 1-5. A simple reading of the text in context of the previous chapters seems to be a prophesy regarding Israelites returning to the land from which they were banished due to disobedience, the return being a result of the New Covenant taking effect in these that are returning (verses 6-10). How would various strands of reformed thought interpret this passage? Some specific questions I have in mind with regard to their interpretation: Is this physical Israel? Is this Israel with Gentiles grafted in? Or maybe something else? Is the land the promised land of Canaan? Is it expanded to include the whole earth (New Heavens and New Earth)?
