Besides, in Jeremiah 23:6 Israel is named together with Judah, instead of which, we have here, in Jeremiah 33:16, Jerusalem; accordingly, the name "Jahveh Tsidkenu" is referred to Jerusalem, while in Jeremiah 23:6 it is predicated of the sprout of David. "As an Advent text, this passage not only calls us to reflect on the faithfulness of God in the past as He worked in Israel?s history, especially as that faithfulness worked out in the Coming of Jesus the Christ.

These promises lead us to the gospel of Christ; and in that God has revealed truth to direct us, and peace to make us easy. Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying, Thus saith the LORD the maker, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name; Call unto me, and I will answer thee ( Jeremiah 33:1-3 ), Well now, he's just been calling unto the Lord. He will remove all barriers and bring them into direct fellowship with himself (33-34). 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 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord Or, "are coming" {t}; 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.

Today we hear the story of the prophet Jeremiah, who was born in Josiah's time, but went on the prophesy during the darkest times of Judah's history. This intimates, 1. He imparts righteousness to his church, for he is made of God to us righteousness; and believers are made the righteousness of God in him. and who is faithful, that has promised, and is able to perform, Jeremiah 33:14-18 (Jeremiah 33:14) 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.

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. The kingdom assured them of the divine guidance. The nation never experienced fully all the blessings that Jeremiah pictures in this chapter. Hence he says, The days shall come; for it behoved the faithful to look farther than to their present condition. The first danger is reading the New Testament into the Old Testament in a way nullifies or negates the original text. Language often breaks down as an inadequate vehicle for the conveyance of the thoughts of God; and so we believe is the case here. Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. The words "He shall rule as king and deal wisely," which in Jeremiah 23:5 bring into prominence the contrast between the kingdom of the Messiah and that of the godless shepherd of the people, were unnecessary for the connection of our passage. As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites who serve me. That is certainly the reason this passage is one of the lectionary readings for the first Sunday in Advent. 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. Leaving this verse out of your sermon could run the risk of leaving your people with the mistaken impression that God privileges the Christian tradition over the Jewish one. As noted in the chapter introduction, the only difficulty here is the apparent promise of the perpetual succession of his descendants upon the throne of David and also that of the permanent, unending restoration of the Levitical priests with their animal sacrifices, events which are denied absolutely by other passages of the Word of God.

He is a branch of righteousness, not a usurper, for he grows up unto David, descends from his loins, with whom the covenant of royalty was made, and is that seed with whom that covenant should be established, so that his title is unexceptionable. 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. Jeremiah 33:14. Advent is a season that messes with our sense of time. Jeremiah is not someone who looks at the world through rose-colored glasses. For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; Neither shall the priests and the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually ( Jeremiah 33:16-18 ). But careful listeners will hear that when God promises to raise up a true ruler, the ultimate actions of this king are justice and righteousness for the whole land, not just the people.

Burnt-offering, meat-offering, and sin-offering are the three species of sacrifice which were to be brought, according to the law, as in Jeremiah 17:26. To crown all these blessings which God has in store for them, here is a promise of the Messiah, and of that everlasting righteousness which he should bring in (Jeremiah 33:15; Jeremiah 33:16), and probably this is that good thing, that great good thing, which in the latter days, days that were yet to come, God would perform, as he had promised to Judah and Israel, and to which their return out of captivity and their settlement again in their own land was preparatory. Any reasonable person can see that the city is doomed. It was just an offering of fellowship. In all the cities of Judah and Benjamin there shall be a habitation of shepherds,Jeremiah 33:12; Jeremiah 33:13. Jeremiah knew he had been called to preach a tough message.

The Targum explains verses Jeremiah 33:14, Jeremiah 33:15, and Jeremiah 33:16 of the Messiah. When God renders punishment on Israel and Judah, some hold the notion that He has rejected them.

The Davidic dynasty and the Levitical priesthood will work together in perfect harmony, and worship will ascend to God perpetually (17-18). Any reasonable person can see that the city is doomed. On this first Sunday of Advent, one cannot read the prophecy of a "righteous Branch" springing up for David in anything but a messianic light. 114-16; and Jensen, p. And how about those "sacrifices" which are to be offered perpetually? 14 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.

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). But Israel did not maintain its loyalty to God. The house of David might be cut down, but God is able to bring life out of death. This is not in and of itself bad: we are Christian preachers, after all. There will come a time in the land of Judah when there shall once more be heard the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride (33:10-11).

Again we have proof that when radical critics wish to expunge some verse or some chapter from the Bible, it is merely because they cannot understand the passage; and for many of them, their failure is due to their apparent ignorance of everything in the New Testament. pp. That has been fully taken care of. That's what people are saying today. "At the same time," says the LORD, "I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people." Thus says the LORD: "The people who survived the sword Found grace in the wilderness So God declaring over and over His continued work upon Israel. As Jellie noted, "It was impossible, and now is impossible, to restore: (1) either a literal reign of David's descendants or (2) the Levitical priesthood, for two reasons: (a) Their genealogical tables have been irrecoverably lost, and (b) nothing short of a direct decision from God Himself could distinguish the descendants of David or Levi from the descendants of any other of the twelve tribes of ancient Israel."[9].

Similarly, in chapter 33, the prophet speaks of the coming restoration, the restoration of normal, everyday life. The Davidic kingdom and the Levitical priesthood were the two pillars and bases of the Old Testament theocracy, on which its existence and continuance depended.

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord A righteous Branch will spring up. times of the Messiah; and which God, that is true and cannot lie, Tafsiran/Catatan. Furthermore, it should be particularly noted that this chapter says nothing at all about any "succession" of Davidic kings, or any series of such rulers, but that he shall have "a son to reign upon his throne." And exactly what are those spiritual sacrifices? Hast thou not seen what this people have spoken, saying, 'The two families which the Lord hath chosen, these He hath rejected?'

"He spoke of the Messiah as `The Spring of Living Waters' (Jeremiah 2:13), `The Good Shepherd' (Jeremiah 23:4; 31:10), `The Righteous Branch' (here and in Jeremiah 23:5f), `The Redeemer' (Jeremiah 50:34), `The Lord Our Righteousness" (Jeremiah 23:6), `David the King' (Jeremiah 30:9), and as `The Agent of the New Covenant' (Jeremiah 31:31-34). 4.
