A Warning of Finality
Commentators agree that Peter is quoting the sense, not the exact words, of Deuteronomy 18:19. The phrase 'utterly destroyed from among the people' was a familiar concept for the most severe punishment: excommunication and being cut off from God's covenant community. This was not a light warning, but a declaration of the final, eternal consequences of rejecting Christ.
