That son is the Son of God, the Messiah. To crown all these blessings which God has in store for them, here is a promise of the Messiah, and of that everlasting righteousness which he should bring in (Jeremiah 33:15; Jeremiah 33:16), and probably this is that good thing, that great good thing, which in the latter days, days that were yet to come, God would perform, as he had promised to Judah and Israel, and to which their return out of captivity and their settlement again in their own land was preparatory. Both the king and the city will be true expressions of Gods righteousness (14-16; cf. In the waste, he sees an opportunity for a fresh start. See Hosea 1:10, c. Hosea 2:15, c. Hosea 6:11, c.

The prophetic word from God was realized in the person of Jesus Christ, the person that the disciples, the apostles, and the early Christian authors believed was the Davidic king who would sit on the throne of Israel nay, the throne of heaven! But from this manner of speaking, a useful doctrine may be deduced: for we are thus reminded that the promises of God are not always so manifest, that their effect or accomplishment is evident to us, but on the contrary they may appear to be dead and void. 1 moreover the word of the lord came unto jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 2 thus saith the lord the maker thereof, the lord that formed it, to establish it; the lord is his name; 3 call unto me, and i will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, Consider thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? which I have promised unto the 23:5-6). For God declares, that his promise would not be void, as its effects would shortly be evident, even when his mercy was known by the ten tribes and by the kingdom of Judah. In this chapter in Jeremiah, the stunning reversal of fortune that God promises is not only for Israels benefit, but for the land itself. the Jews themselves allow, show that the words belong to the Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them ( Jeremiah 33:24-26 ). But God says, "Call unto Me, and I will answer thee.". Language often breaks down as an inadequate vehicle for the conveyance of the thoughts of God; and so we believe is the case here. Every one concluded now that the country would lie for ever desolate, that no beasts would be found in the land of Judah, no inhabitant in the streets of Jerusalem, and consequently there would be nothing but universal and perpetual melancholy (Jeremiah 33:10; Jeremiah 33:10); but, though weeping may endure for a time, joy will return.

Now this is after he has been calling. It is a word of hope, but not nave hope. When the true sacrifice for sins, even Christ our Lord, died upon Calvary, the whole institution of animal sacrifices perished forever, never to be renewed. And that is its power. Hence he says, The days shall come; for it behoved the faithful to look farther than to their present condition. Such a view explains this addition to our passage, to which critics such as Hitzig have taken objection. On this first Sunday of Advent, one cannot read the prophecy of a righteous Branch springing up for David in anything but a messianic light. 14 The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. They shall never want one to bring and prepare an offering before the Lord. forever: Yeshua, Jesus, God saves.

There shall be heard in their private houses, and in the cities of Judah, as well as in the temple, the voice of those that shall say, Praise the Lord of hosts. Jeremiah 33:14. God has a gracious set of promises that he will fulfill. The blessing promised to the people in the "good word" culminates in the promise, Jeremiah 33:15., that the Lord will cause a righteous sprout to spring up for David. "He spoke of the Messiah as `The Spring of Living Waters' (Jeremiah 2:13), `The Good Shepherd' (Jeremiah 23:4; 31:10), `The Righteous Branch' (here and in Jeremiah 23:5f), `The Redeemer' (Jeremiah 50:34), `The Lord Our Righteousness" (Jeremiah 23:6), `David the King' (Jeremiah 30:9), and as `The Agent of the New Covenant' (Jeremiah 31:31-34). This then relates to the apprehensions of men when he says, I will rouse, or establish, my good word, He afterwards adds, which I have spoken; by which clause he confirms the doctrine of Jeremiah, for he shews that he was its author, and that Jeremiah brought nothing from himself, but faithfully testified of his mercy and of the liberation of the people according to the commission he had received. In the Lord have I righteousness and strength,Isaiah 45:24. "If ye shall break my covenant with the day,then also will my covenant with Davidbe broken." See Psalms 144:13; Psalms 144:14. But that, through the mention simply of Judah and its capital, the ten tribes are not to be excluded from participation in the coming prosperity, may be seen even from Jeremiah 33:14, where "the good word" is referred to Israel and Judah, and still more plainly from Jeremiah 33:24, Jeremiah 33:26, where this promise is made sure to the whole seed of Israel. The promise in Jeremiah 33:14-16 has already been given in substance in Jeremiah 23:5-6, and in our verses it is only formally extended, and thereby made more prominent.

Thus saith Jahveh: If my covenant with day and night doth not exist, if I have not appointed the laws of heaven and earth, Jeremiah 33:26. The continuity of a succession of rulers on the literal throne of David and the perpetual ministrations of the Levitical order in their offerings of burnt-offerings, etc., represented to the Jew the full and perpetual restoration of his national life, along with freedom from oppressive foreign rule, and restoration of all the rights and privileges of his holy religion: Furthermore, it was impossible for the Jewish mind to have comprehended such marvelous blessings apart from such promises as are found in these five verses. ], "Days are coming" (Heb. t "venientes", Montanus, Schmidt.
