We often forget that the sins of the Judean elites unethical economic practices, violating the Sabbath, sacrificing young children hurt not only Gods people, but the land itself. God repeated His promise to Jeremiah to emphasize in the minds of believers what He intended to do in the future. The people of Israel grew weary of Jeremiah's message of repentance, and even asked the king to silence him by putting him into prison. The days will come, though they are long in coming. They are those who have been loosed from their sins and cleansed in the blood of Christ. A similar image is found in Isaiah 11:1A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. The image is one of hope and unexpected joy: new life springing up from what looks like a dead stump. He's already promised this then. Verse 1.

After centuries of idolatry and oppressive practices of Judean kings and elite, God withdrew the divine protective power, and the unrelenting armies of Babylon laid siege to Jerusalem. The formula , "there never will be cut off from David one sitting," etc., has the meaning, David will never want a descendant to occupy his throne; or, the posterity of David will possess the kingdom for ever.

In this chapter in Jeremiah, the stunning reversal of fortune that God promises is not only for Israels benefit, but for the land itself. Jeremiah 33:14-16. All might seem lost, but God still is faithful. The house of David might be cut down, but God is able to bring life out of death.

The wealth of the country, after their return. In the change from to in Jeremiah 33:14, we must not, with Hengstenberg, seek a real difference; for in Jeremiah these prepositions often interchange without any difference of meaning, as in Jeremiah 11:2; Jeremiah 18:11; Jeremiah 23:35, etc. Jeremiah 33:14 Commentaries: 'Behold, days are coming,' declares the LORD, 'when I will fulfill the good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah. The preacher should also acknowledge, however, that like Jeremiah, he or she speaks these words in a time when many are experiencing great loss: loss of job, of security, of home. Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. Then also shall my covenant with David my servant be broken, so that he shall not have a son to reign upon his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, my ministers. For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword; They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city. No sooner does anything appear than it is swept away, and another comes in its place. Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. Note, Nothing is more the praise and honour of a people than to have God the glory of it, the glory both of the power and of the goodness by which it is effected; they shall praise him both as the Lord of hosts and as the God who is good and whose mercy endures for ever. They are demolishing houses and palaces in order to obtain materials to strengthen the city walls against the enemys battering rams.

Today we hear the story of the prophet Jeremiah, who was born in Josiahs time, but went on the prophesy during the darkest times of Judahs history. A resource for the whole church from Luther Seminary, The recent rise in acts of anti-Semitism in the United States.

Commentary on Jeremiah 33:14-18 Last week on Christ the King Sunday, we heard about the reforms of the great King Josiah. This if betokens the impossible; man cannot alter the arrangement in nature for the regular alternation of day and night. (t) "venientes", Montanus, Schmidt. - Calvin.). This is one of the ways we as Christians make sense of verse 17 with its promise that Never shall there be an end to [the line of] David, a man sitting upon the throne of the house of Israel. The discrepancy between the recorded promises of God in Jeremiahs time and the lack of an Israelite king in Jesus time is perhaps one of the reasons why Luke and Matthew took such pains to record the parentage of Jesus through King David. So God's promises now of restoration of the nation of Israel. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD. But until its fall, the citizens of Jerusalem were trapped, suffocating in a city that was rapidly running out of food and water and even more rapidly acquiring sickness and disease. A righteous Branch will sprout from the line of David. The worst has not yet happened, but it is inevitable.

Explanation and Commentary of Jeremiah 33:3 Jeremiah heard this Word from the Lord while he was confined. Nam sacerdos erat quasi medius inter Deum et populum, rex autem representabat Dei personam. And it's just an offering of fellowship with God as I just give my life to You, God, and the eating of it signifies that oneness with God and the fellowshipping with God. - As to the kind and mode of reinstitution of both of these ordinances, which were abolished when the state came to ruin, the prophecy now before us gives no explanation; but in the emphatic confirmation of the prophecy which follows, we find brief indications which clearly show that the restoration spoken of will not be a reinstitution of the old form which is now perishing, but a renovation of it, in its essential features, to a permanent existence. The danger is when such readings lead us to discard the Old Testament as irrelevant after Christ, and with it the people of faith who still claim it as ultimate testimony: namely, the Jews. Destitution does not have the last word. The preacher would do well to speak about that historical situation so that the words of promise and hope are heard in all their power. He had been divinely called to denounce Israel's spiritual apostasy and proclaim severe judgement upon them. Far from it! All the sacrifices were intended for the praise of God, but this seems to be meant of the spiritual sacrifices of humble adorations and joyful thanksgivings, the calves of our lips (Hosea 14:2), which shall please the Lord better than an ox of bullock. This then is the import and the proper application of this doctrine. Jeremiah 33:14 Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will fulfill the gracious promise that I have spoken to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. "Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins, in his own blood, and made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. (Spoiler Alert: Its always Jesus.) The streets of Jerusalem will soon be filled with the corpses of her people (33:4-5), and the prophet Jeremiah himself is imprisoned by King Zedekiah (33:1). The before is explanatory. Historically, of course, the Davidic line did not return to the throne, so passages like this (and its parallel, Jeremiah 23:5-6), were in time interpreted to be speaking about the coming ideal ruler, the Messiah. laid down his life for the sheep, preferable to the shepherds Some think that they pass under the hand of him that telleth them that they may be tithed, Leviticus 27:32. Why are they having sacrifices after Christ has returned? Yet now, in the midst of catastrophe, the prophet finally speaks words of promise! But it is unlikely that "the good word" refers to the "sprout" of David, which is expressly promised in Jeremiah 23:5., and repeated here, Jeremiah 33:15.; for here a like promise to the Levites follows, while there is none in Jeremiah 23, and it is here so closely linked with the promise regarding David, that it must be viewed as a portion of the "good word." Ultimately, they are combined in the highest sense in Christ (cf. That good thing which I have promised By my prophets: for those who have predicted the captivity have also foretold its conclusion, though not in such express terms as Jeremiah did. The assistant pastor quite sure of himself said, "I'll do much of my socializing in groups, there is safety in numbers.". Jeremiah was a sensitive man who wore his heart on his sleeve.

This then relates to the apprehensions of men when he says, I will rouse, or establish, my good word, He afterwards adds, which I have spoken; by which clause he confirms the doctrine of Jeremiah, for he shews that he was its author, and that Jeremiah brought nothing from himself, but faithfully testified of his mercy and of the liberation of the people according to the commission he had received. This intimates, 1. Christ is our Lord God, our righteousness, our sanctification, and our redemption. For over a year the Babylonians besieged the city. To a people devastated by loss, Jeremiahs prophecy offered hope: The days are surely coming, says the LORD, when I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah (33:14). And the burnt-offerings what about them? 1. In this prophecy, too, mention is made of the priests alone. It was just an offering of fellowship. forever: Yeshua, Jesus, God saves.

Such is Advent faith, and Advent hope. Marcus Aurelius, In the cities of Judah there will be joy, in the pastures there will be peace, and in the temple there will be the sound of praise to God (10-13).Once more a king of the dynasty of David will rule over Israel, and Jerusalem will be the city of Gods salvation.

This, though a song of old, yet, being sung upon this fresh occasion, will be a new song. How might you broaden your sermon about redemptive hope to include all of Creation, and not just humanity? The Davidic dynasty and the Levitical priesthood will work together in perfect harmony, and worship will ascend to God perpetually (17-18). God responds to this lament with a promise of redemption and healing for Israel (Jeremiah 33:6-18). See Hosea 1:10, c. Hosea 2:15, c. Hosea 6:11, c. Amos 9:14, c., and Jeremiah 3:12, c.

The general idea contained in the words "the Levites," placed first, is more clearly defined by the apposition "the priests," and restricted to the priests of the tribe of Levi. The Targum explains verses Jeremiah 33:14, Jeremiah 33:15, and Jeremiah 33:16 of the Messiah. Jeremiah 33:14-16 EXEGESIS: JEREMIAH 30-33.
