Jeremiah 33

Jer 33:8

Israel to be cleansed and forgiven: Jer 30:17; Eze 20:38. By means of new covenant: Jer 31:31-34; Isa 59:20,21; Rom 11:27.

Jer 33:11

The correspondence of animal sacrifices to praise/song/prayer: Psa 50:13,14; 51:15-17; 69:30,31; 141:2; 40:6-10; Hos 14:1,2 (Heb 13:15).

Jer 33:14

Vv 14-16: "In reference to this good time which is near at hand it is written, 'Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel, and to the house of Judah. In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of Righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is the name whereby he shall be called, The Lord our Righteousness' (Jer 23:5,6; 33:14-16; Eze 48:35; Isa 24:23). The Kingdom of God, then, has existed once, but, for the present, exists 'no more' [Eze 21:25-27]. It existed from the fourteenth to the twenty-eighth generation [Mat 1:17], a period of rather more than a thousand years; but it has been extinct upwards of two thousand five hundred years -- a time so long that the promise of its restoration has become a mere fable, or speculation, in the estimation of the world! But the believer in the gospel of this kingdom rejoices in the sure and certain hope of its restitution, and glorious and triumphant existence for a thousand years, at the expiration of which kingdoms on earth will be no more, but God will be all and in all" (Elp).

Jer 33:16

IT WILL BE CALLED: Or, "he will be called". Cp Jer 23:5. This is the name of the king (also see v 17, re the king).

THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS: Yahweh Tzidkenu, in ct to the current king, Zedekiah (Tzedek-yahu). Which was the true "LORD of righteousness"?

Jer 33:17

// Psa 89:3,4,34-37; Act 2:30.

Jer 33:25

Vv 25,26: // Jer 31:35,36; 2Sa 7:16; Isa 55:1-3.
