Jeremia 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 ) .

Jeremia 33:15 In-Context

13 In Städten auf den Gebirgen und in Städten in Gründen und in Städten gegen Mittag, im Lande Benjamin und um Jerusalem her und in Städten Juda's sollen dennoch wiederum die Herden gezählt aus und ein gehen, spricht der HERR.

14 Siehe, es kommt die Zeit, spricht der HERR, daß ich das gnädige Wort erwecken will, welches ich dem Hause Israel und dem Hause Juda geredet habe.

15 In denselben Tagen und zu derselben Zeit will ich dem David ein gerechtes Gewächs aufgehen lassen, und er soll Recht und Gerechtigkeit anrichten auf Erden.

16 Zu derselben Zeit soll Juda geholfen werden und Jerusalem sicher wohnen, und man wird sie nennen: Der HERR unsre Gerechtigkeit.

17 Denn so spricht der HERR: Es soll nimmermehr fehlen, es soll einer von David sitzen auf dem Stuhl des Hauses Israel.
