Obviously a tree is not a cross so this is another example of Christians trying to read into things and create prophecies that just aren't there. This is not a prophecy at all but rather a command for Jews. A true prophecy would have read like this "and the word of the lord came to me and said the Messiah shall be named Jesus and he will die on something called a cross in a year 30ad". Obviously the Bible is not divinely inspired.
"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us--for it is written, "Cursed be every one who hangs on a tree" Ga 3:13
Now according to Paul, absolutely anyone who hangs on a tree is cursed.
What does Moses say in the Bible;
"And if a man has committed a crime punishable by death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but you shall bury him the same day, for a hanged man is accursed by God; De 21:22,23
