Geremia 33:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 33:15

In those days, and at that time
In those very selfsame days before spoken of; in those days to come, and which were hastening on; in the fulness of time, agreed on between Jehovah and his Son; the appointed, fixed, determined time: will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David;
not Zerubbabel, but the Messiah; who is not only a branch of David's family, and therefore said to grow up unto him, being of his seed, his son, and offspring; but a Branch of righteousness, or a righteous Branch; perfectly righteous in himself, and the author of righteousness unto others; which cannot be said of Zerubbabel, or of any other branch springing from David but the Messiah; and of him the Targum interprets it, paraphrasing it thus,

``the Messiah of righteousness;''

and Kimchi's note is,

``this is the King Messiah;''

and so it is by other Jewish writers ^F24 interpreted of him: and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land;
judgment upon the blind Pharisees given up to judicial blindness and hardness of heart; and upon the world, and the prince of it, who was cast out by him; and though he came not at first to judge the world and all the individuals of it, as he will do at his second coming; yet all judgment, rule, and government of his church, is committed to him by his Father; and he is on the throne to order and establish it with judgment, and to overrule all things for the good of it, and his own and his Father's glory: and he has "wrought" out an everlasting "righteousness", agreeably to law and justice, for the justification of his people; for which reason he and they have the name in ( Jeremiah 33:16 ) .

Geremia 33:15 In-Context

13 Nelle città del monte, e nelle città del piano, e nelle città del Mezzodì, e nel paese di Beniamino, e ne’ luoghi circonvicini di Gerusalemme, e nelle città di Giuda, le pecore passeranno ancora sotto la mano di colui che le conta, da detto il Signore.

14 Ecco, i giorni vengono, dice il Signore, che io metterò ad effetto la buona parola, che io ho pronunziata alla casa d’Israele, ed alla casa di Giuda.

15 In que’ giorni, e in quel tempo, io farò germogliare a Davide il Germoglio di giustizia, il quale farà giudicio e giustizia nella terra.

16 In que’ giorni Giuda sarà salvato, e Gerusalemme abiterà in sicurtà; e questo è il nome, del quale ella si chiamerà: IL SIGNORE È LA NOSTRA GIUSTIZIA.

17 Perciocchè, così ha detto il Signore: Giammai non verrà meno a Davide, uomo che segga sopra il trono della casa d’Israele;
