Jeremiah 30:21 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 30:18-24

We have here further intimations of the favour God had in reserve for them after the days of their calamity were over. It is promised, I. That the city and temple should be rebuilt, Jer. 30:18. Jacob's tents, and his dwelling places, felt the effects of the captivity, for they lay in ruins when the inhabitants were carried away captives; but, when they have returned, the habitations shall be repaired, and raised up out of their ruins, and therein God will have mercy upon their dwelling places,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 30:21

And their nobles shall be of themselves ,.... Or, "his noble One" F4 אדירו "praestans ejus", Montanus. ; Jacob's noble One, the Messiah, in whom all the promises centre; and whose incarnation and priesthood are the foundation of all the things above predicted. The Targum interprets these words of him; "their King shall be anointed from them, and their Messiah shall be revealed from the midst of them.' And so it is applied to him in the Talmud F5 T. Bab. Sanhedrin, fol. 98. 2.... read more

Their nobles shall be of themselves - Strangers shall not rule over them; and - Their governor shall proceed from the midst of them - Both Nehemiah and Zerubbabel, their nobles and governors after the return from Babylon, were Jews. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:21

Verse 21 The Prophet, no doubt, explains here more at large what he had said of the restoration of the Church; for we know that the Jews had been so taught, that they were to place their whole confidence as to their salvation on David, that is, on the king whom God had set over them. Then the happiness and safety of the Church was always founded on the king; he being taken away, it was all over with the Church, as the Anointed is said to be the Lord, in whose spirit is our spirit. (Lamentations... read more

Joys of redemption. The joys of the restoration of Israel are suggestive of the joys of redemption which belong to those who have been healed of their sins and recovered to the favour of God. Let us consider some of the elements of these joys. I. A RESTORATION TO LOST RIGHTS AND POSSESSIONS . The city is to be built again "upon her own mound." The people not only find the vines they grow in Chaldea fruitful; they are restored to their own land. The prodigal would not have... read more

The multitude of God's mercies. A rapid and brilliant enumeration of the characteristics of national glory and human happiness and well being. Representative and suggestive, but not exhaustive. I. SEVERALLY SPECIFIED . Set forth with great distinctness, as one might in a legal document; and yet a complete and comprehensive view of a nation's restoration. 1 . Return of the people to their own land. ( Jeremiah 30:18 .) The representatives of those who had been exiled would be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 30:21

The future rulers of Israel shall be of the native stock, not foreign tyrants. Their nobles; rather, his noble one, a synonym for "his ruler," i.e. the (earthly) king of Israel. It is remarkable that no reference is made here to the Messiah, who, in fact, is not as conspicuous a figure in the prophecies of Jeremiah as in those of Isaiah. And yet even in Isaiah there is one striking prophecy in which the inspired seer uses language not (in the hands of a literalist) reconcilable with the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 30:21

The ideal ruler. The immediate reference is to Zerubbabel and the elders who returned from the Captivity; but there is a larger significance than any merely human personage could exhaust or satisfactorily correspond to. There can be no doubt as to the Messianic character of this promise. But it is precisely the vagueness of the reference, the primary uncertainty as to who it was to be in whom all the hope of Israel was to be realized, that constituted the moral force of the prediction. In... read more
