John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:13

In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale , and in the cities of the south ,.... Into which three parts the land of Judea was divided; See Gill on Jeremiah 32:44 ; and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah ; in the cities of the two tribes, of which Jerusalem was the metropolis; and which returned from the captivity, and settled here, and were in being when the Messiah came, here prophesied of, the great Shepherd of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:14

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord ,.... Or, "are coming" F20 באים "venientes", Montanus, Schmidt. ; future times are respected; yet such as would quickly come; five or six hundred years more, and then would be fulfilled what is after promised. This is ushered in with a "behold", as being a matter of importance, and deserving attention, and even as calling for admiration. This is the principal of the great and mighty things the Lord promised to show to the prophet, Jeremiah 33:3 ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:15

In those days, and at that time ,.... In those very selfsame days before spoken of; in those days to come, and which were hastening on; in the fulness of time, agreed on between Jehovah and his Son; the appointed, fixed, determined time: will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David ; not Zerubbabel, but the Messiah; who is not only a branch of David's family, and therefore said to grow up unto him, being of his seed, his son, and offspring; but a Branch of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:16

In those days shall Judah be saved ,.... The elect of God among the Jews; and all such who are Jews inwardly, who truly believe in Christ, and confess his name, and praise him, and give him the glory or salvation. Judah signifies one that confesses or praises the Lord; such shall be saved from sin, Satan, the law, wrath, hell, and damnation, by the Branch of righteousness, the Messiah; who was raised up and sent to be a Saviour; came into the world for this purpose; has obtained salvation... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:17

For thus saith the Lord ,.... Confirming the above promise concerning the Messiah; giving a reason why his coming may be expected; and why the salvation, justification, and final perseverance of his church and people, are certain things, and to be depended upon: David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel ; or, "there shall not be cut off unto David a man" F1 לא יכרת לדוד איש "non exscindetur Davidi vir", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:18

Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me ,.... The Levitical priesthood has been abolished long ago; that was typical of Christ's priesthood, and is succeeded by it; who is a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek; and who, having offered up himself a sacrifice here on earth for his people, ever appears in heaven, in the presence of God, on their behalf, making intercession for them; and as long as he continues to do so, which will be always, a man shall not be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:19

And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah ,.... For the further explanation and confirmation of what is before said; and which came at the same time as the other; this being not a new prophecy, but an illustration of the former: saying ; as follows: read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:20

Thus saith the Lord, if you can break my covenant of the day , and my covenant of the night ,.... The same with the ordinances of the sun, moon, and stars, Jeremiah 31:35 ; the original constitution and law of nature, settled from the beginning of the world, and observed ever since, in the constant revolution of day and night; and which was formed into a covenant and promise to Noah, after the deluge, that day and night should not cease, as long as the earth remained, Genesis 8:22 ;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:21

Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant ,.... A type of the Messiah, with whom the covenant of grace is made, stands fast, and will never be broken; see Psalm 89:3 ; for, as the other is impossible, the breaking of the covenant with day and night, or hindering the certain rotation of them; so likewise as impossible is the breaking of the covenant with David concerning the perpetuity of his kingdom in the Messiah: that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:22

As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured ,.... As the stars of heaven are innumerable, and the sand of the sea immeasurable: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant ; the Messiah; the son and antitype of David; and who is often called by his name; and as the son of David is the servant of the Lord, his spiritual seed are meant, which shall endure for ever; and in Gospel times, especially in the latter part of them, shall be very numerous; see... read more
