The Covenant curses came upon OT,Israel because they were Covenant breakers;

45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:

46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.

47 Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

49 The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;

50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:

51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed:

They were to be a Holy Nation..kings and priests of God.They failed as in verse 47;

47 Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

The Christian Israel is now the only light among the nations....Those curses came upon Israel at the time of Jesus.....He told them all these things shall come upon this generation

Just like the OT nation was to show the glory of God here and now...we who by God's grace are translated into the kingdom now are to overcome where they failed by the Spirit's working in us.

4 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

rom14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

The Kingdom is now.....it grows day by day.
