Jeremiah 33:21

21 In the same way I have made a covenant with my servant David that he would always have a descendant to be king, and I have made a covenant with the priests from the tribe of Levi that they would always serve me; and those covenants can never be broken.

Jeremiah 33:21 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 33:21

[Then] may also my covenant be broken with David my servant,
&c.] A type of the Messiah, with whom the covenant of grace is made, stands fast, and will never be broken; see ( Psalms 89:3 Psalms 89:28 Psalms 89:34 ) ; for, as the other is impossible, the breaking of the covenant with day and night, or hindering the certain rotation of them; so likewise as impossible is the breaking of the covenant with David concerning the perpetuity of his kingdom in the Messiah: that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne;
which he has in Christ, and ever will have; for he shall reign for ever and ever: and with the Levites my priests, my ministers;
of the line of Phinehas, to whom an everlasting priesthood was promised, and which has been fulfilled in Christ, who has an unchangeable priesthood; a priesthood that will never pass from him, and go to another; see ( Numbers 25:13 ) ( Hebrews 7:24 ) .

22 I will increase the number of descendants of my servant David and the number of priests from the tribe of Levi, so that it will be as impossible to count them as it is to count the stars in the sky or the grains of sand on the seashore."

23 The Lord said to me,
