The restoration of David’s dynasty and the legitimate priesthood 33:14-26This section consists of a small collection of messianic prophecies. read more
But Yahweh promised that He would restore the fortunes of Jacob’s seed and that a descendant of David would rule over all the Israelites in the future. This promise was as sure as God’s promise to provide day and night faithfully. The Lord’s compassion prevented Him from abandoning His chosen people, and gave them hope for their restoration."The greatest argument for the future restoration of Israel as a nation is the character of God. He made a series of covenants with the patriarchs, David,... read more

(24-26) Considerest thou not what this people have spoken . . .—The words that follow have been regarded by many commentators as the taunt of the heathen nations—Chaldæans, Egyptians, Edomites, and others—as they beheld what seemed to them the entire downfall of the kingly and the priestly orders, such as we find put into the lips of the heathen in Ezekiel 35:10; Ezekiel 36:20. The words “this people,” however, used as they are invariably of that to which the prophet himself belonged (Jeremiah... read more
CHAPTER XXXIVRESTORATION VREVIEWJeremiah 30:1-24; Jeremiah 31:1-40; Jeremiah 32:1-44; Jeremiah 33:1-26IN reviewing these chapters we must be careful not to suppose that Jeremiah knew all that would ultimately result from his teaching. When he declared that the conditions of the New Covenant would be written, not in a few parchments, but on every heart, he laid down a principle which involved the most characteristic teaching of the New Testament and the Reformers, and which might seem to justify... read more
CHAPTER 33 New Message of Restoration and Blessing 1. The call to pray and Jerusalem’s overthrow (Jeremiah 33:1-5 ) 2. Future blessing and glory (Jeremiah 33:6-14 ) 3. The Branch of Righteousness; Jerusalem’s new name (Jeremiah 33:15-18 ) 4. Jehovah’s faithfulness (Jeremiah 33:19-26 ) Jeremiah 33:1-5 . Jeremiah is still in prison, as we learn from the first verse. The siege of Jerusalem is on. Then the Lord said, “Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty... read more
MORE MESSAGES FOR ZEDEKIAH In some respects the most important chapter here is the first, which deals with Babylon’s supremacy, and reveals the beginning of “the times of the Gentiles,” or “the fulness of the Gentiles” (Romans 11:25 ). The term refers to the period when Israel, because of her disobedience to God, has forfeited her place of power in the earth and is scattered among the nations. It begins when God transfers this power to the Gentiles as represented by Babylon, and continues... read more
We have here two short, but sweet Sermons of the Prophet, and both to the same amount, by way of confirming the word. The Lord appeals to his original Covenant made after the flood, by way of assuring the Church of his mercy. If the Covenant of day and night cease, then, and not before, may the seed of our spiritual David tremble for their captivity. Genesis 8:21-22 . read more
