エレミヤ書 3:15-16 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:15

God will provide pastors according to his own heart. I. THE NEED SO EMPHATICALLY IMPLIED THAT SUCH PASTORS SHOULD BE GIVEN . The shepherd's occupation, it need hardly be said, is one that comes up again and again in the Scriptures, both in the literal sense of the word and the figurative one. And even in the literal occupation there was, doubtless, often need of men who could be described as shepherds after God's own heart. Every shepherd who was faithful,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:16

When ye be multiplied ; a common feature in pictures of the latter days ( Jeremiah 23:3 ; Ezekiel 36:11 ; Hosea 2:1 ). They shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Lord. A definition of the Messianic period on its negative side—the ark shall he no longer the center of religious worship. We must remember that the ark is represented in the Law as the throne of Jehovah, who was "enthroned upon the cherubim" on the lid of the ark. It is in virtue of this sacramental presence... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:16

The superseding of the ark. Along with the denunciations and painful descriptions which Jehovah has put into the mouth of the prophet, there now begins to be mingled a gracious, evangelical element. God's severest condemnations are meant to pave the way for return, repentance, reconciliation, and a reception of still more abundant gifts than before. Far and wide Israel has been scattered, but scattered only to be brought together again. Though there be but one in a city and two in a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:16

Supercession of external religious ordinances and institutions. This is because of the necessarily temporary nature of these, and the spirituality to which they are intended to minister, and which subsequently they may hinder. I. THE TRUE WORSHIP OF GOD IS SPIRITUAL . It is not to bow before an altar or an ark that God calls us to his temple, but to see himself face to face, to discover our need of him, and to delight in his presence. Nor is this communion to be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 3:16-18

The blessings of redemption. The blessings which are here described as following the restoration of Israel are partly national and material in form, but they contain, in the heart of them, those deep spiritual elements of the Messianic ideas which constitute the blessings of redemption. Note the chief characteristics of these— I. THE NEGATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BLESSINGS OF REDEMPTION . 1. Freedom from the old life of sin . "Neither shall they walk any more... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 3:15

Pastors - “Kings, rulers” (compare Jeremiah 2:8). Not military usurpers Hosea 8:4, but true servants of God, as David 1 Samuel 13:14. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 3:16

In those days - This and the phrase “the latter days,” had become under the Messianic teaching of the prophets a regular formula for the time of Christ’s coming, when all the nation’s hopes would be fulfilled.The ark was the center of the Mosaic economy, containing within it the two tables’ of the Law as the conditions of the covenant and having over it, upon the mercy-seat, the Shechinah as the visible sign of God’s presence. But “in those days” the symbol must pass away, because God will then... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 3:15

Jeremiah 3:15. I will give you pastors according to my heart This is likewise an evangelical promise, (compare Jeremiah 23:4,) implying that under the happy times here foretold all governors, both civil and ecclesiastical, should faithfully discharge their trust, in duly governing and instructing the people committed to their charge; and that all in authority should answer the character which God gives of David, namely, that he was a man after his own heart, whereas, at the time when... read more

Jeremiah 3:16. And when ye be multiplied That is, when the kingdom of the Messiah shall be set up, and there shall be a vast increase of the members of the church by the accession of the Gentiles: for that the days of the Messiah are here intended, the Jewish masters themselves acknowledge; they shall say no more, The ark, &c. The ark is here put for all the legal ceremonies, being, with the rites connected with it, the chief part thereof. The sense is, that whole worship, with all... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 3:6-18

Need for true repentance (3:6-18)King Josiah had tried to reform Judah, but because people had not changed inwardly, the reformation affected only the external forms of religion. Looking from God’s viewpoint, Jeremiah calls the people’s so-called repentance a pretence (see v. 10). Judah had seen her sister nation Israel divorced from God and sent into captivity because of her spiritual adultery, but Israel’s experience taught her nothing. She is now doing what Israel did. In accepting Josiah’s... read more
