Jeremiah 30:22 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 30:22

And ye shall be my people
For many hundred years the people of the Jews have been called "Loammi" or, "ye are not my people", ( Hosea 1:9 ) ; but now being converted, the covenant of God's grace shall be renewed, and a fresh manifestation and application of it made unto them; and they partaking of the grace of it, shall appear to be, and shall be, called the people of God, and shall behave as such, and fear and worship the Lord: and I will be your God;
will manifest his love to them, bestow his favours upon them, and take them under his care and protection. This is a summary of the covenant of grace, which will visibly take place when those people shall turn to the Lord, ( Romans 11:26 Romans 11:27 ) .

Jeremiah 30:22 In-Context

20 They'll look forward to having children again, to being a community in which I take pride. I'll punish anyone who hurts them,
21 and their prince will come from their own ranks. One of their own people shall be their leader. Their ruler will come from their own ranks. I'll grant him free and easy access to me. Would anyone dare to do that on his own, to enter my presence uninvited?' God's Decree.
22 "'And that's it: You'll be my very own people, I'll be your very own God.'"
23 Look out! God's hurricane is let loose, his hurricane blast, Spinning the heads of the wicked like dust devils!
24 God's raging anger won't let up Until he's made a clean sweep completing the job he began. When the job's done you'll see it's been well done.
