“And it shall be, that every soul who will not listen responsively to that prophet, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.”

For God had warned severely, that if anyone did not listen to Him responsively as He spoke through that Prophet, he would be cut off from Israel. Here is a clear indication that the coming of Jesus will result in a new Israel arising out of the old, from which all who reject Him will be cut off (compare John 15:1; Romans 11:16). This new Israel will be the nation to whom God will give what the old nation has forfeited (Matthew 21:43). A new nation will be formed with the Christ rejecters cast off.

‘Utterly destroyed from among the people.' Compare Leviticus 23:29.
