Jeremías 33:3 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 33:3

Call unto me, and I will answer thee
This is spoken not to Jerusalem, and the inhabitants of it; but to the prophet, encouraging him to seek the Lord by prayer, promising an answer to him. So the Targum,

``pray before me, and I will receive thy prayer:''

and show thee great and mighty things;
or, "fortified ones" ^F16; which are like fortified cities, that cannot easily be come at, unless the gates are opened to enter into; and designs such as are difficult of understanding, which exceed human belief, and which reason cannot comprehend and take in; and such are the great things of the Gospel. Some copies read it, "things reserved" ^F17; as the Targum; and so Jarchi, who interprets it of things future, of things reserved in the heart of God, and which he purposed to do; and very rightly: which thou knowest not;
until revealed; and from hence it appears, that by these great and hidden things are not meant the destruction of Jerusalem, and the seventy years' captivity, and return from that, things which Jeremiah had been made acquainted with time after time, and had prophesied of them; but spiritual blessings hereafter mentioned, some of which the deliverance from Babylon were typical of Ben Melech interprets these of comforts great and strong.

Jeremías 33:3 In-Context

1 Promesas de paz y prosperidad
Mientras Jeremías aún estaba detenido en el patio de la guardia, el Señor
le dio un segundo mensaje:

2 «Esto dice el Señor
, el Señor
que hizo la tierra, que la formó y la estableció, cuyo nombre es el Señor
:

3 pídeme y te daré a conocer secretos sorprendentes que no conoces acerca de lo que está por venir.

4 Pues esto dice el Señor
, Dios de Israel: ustedes derribaron las casas de esta ciudad y hasta el palacio real a fin de conseguir materiales para fortalecer las murallas contra las rampas de asalto y contra la espada del enemigo.

5 Ustedes esperan luchar contra los babilonios
pero los hombres de esta ciudad ya están como muertos, porque en mi terrible enojo he decidido destruirlos. Los abandoné debido a toda su perversidad.
