Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the
Lord
Or, "are coming" F9; and will begin to take place in a
little time, even upon the Jews' return from Babylon; and reached
to the times of Christ, to which they have a special regard; and
include the whole Gospel dispensation, even the latter day glory,
when the Jews shall return to, and dwell in, their own land; as (
Jeremiah
23:8 ) ; shows: that they shall no more say, the Lord
liveth:
the people of Israel in particular, or the Lord's people in
general, shall no more swear by the living God, described as
follows; or, as the Targum, declare no more the power of God, in
the instance next mentioned, they had been used to do:
which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of
Egypt:
which, though a wonderful deliverance, and never to be forgotten;
yet not to be named with the redemption and salvation wrought out
by Christ the Lord our righteousness; that being a deliverance
from far greater and more powerful enemies, and from the far
greater bondage of sin, Satan, and the law; nor with the
restoration of the Jews in the latter day, which will be a most
wonderful and amazing event, ( Romans 11:15

11:25 Romans 11:26
