Jeremías 33:1-7

1 Y vino palabra del SEÑOR a Jeremías la segunda vez, estando él aún preso en el patio de la guarda, diciendo:

2 Así dijo el SEÑOR que la hace, el SEÑOR que la forma para afirmarla; el SEÑOR es su nombre:

3 Clama a mí, y te responderé, y te enseñaré cosas grandes y dificultosas que tú no sabes.

4 Porque así dijo el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, acerca de las casas de esta ciudad, y de las casas de los reyes de Judá, derribadas con arietes y con hachas

5 (porque vinieron para pelear con los caldeos, para llenarlas de cuerpos de hombres muertos, a los cuales yo herí con mi furor y con mi ira; y porque escondí mi rostro de esta ciudad, a causa de toda su malicia):

6 He aquí que yo le hago subir sanidad y medicina; y los curaré, y les revelaré abundancia de Paz y de Verdad.

7 Y haré volver la cautividad de Judá, y la cautividad de Israel, y los edificaré como al principio.

Jeremías 33:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JEREMIAH 33

This chapter is a continuation of prophecies of spiritual blessings on the church of Christ in Gospel times, of which the return of the Jews from captivity, and the benefits following on that, were types. The place where Jeremiah had this prophecy communicated to him, the prison, Jer 33:1; the author of it, Jehovah, who describes himself, Jer 33:2; encourages the prophet to pray unto him, promising an answer, and a discovery of great and hidden things, Jer 33:3; not so much concerning the destruction of the city, and the rebuilding it, Jer 33:4,5; as spiritual blessings to the church, signified by it; such as a healthful state and condition through Christ, the sun of righteousness, arising with healing in his wings, and a revelation of abundance of peace and truth by him, Jer 33:6; a release of captives, and a rebuilding of the church, Jer 33:7; free and full forgiveness of all sins, Jer 33:8; the church a praise in the whole earth; much joy in it, and glory to God by it, Jer 33:9-11; spiritual pastors or shepherds feeding their flocks, and taking very diligent care of them, Jer 33:12,13; a promise of the Messiah as a righteous Branch; as the Saviour and safeguard of his people; and as the Lord their righteousness, Jer 33:14-16; an assurance of the continuance of the kingly and priestly offices in him, whereby the covenant of God with David and the Levites would be for ever secured, Jer 33:17-22; and the chapter is concluded with a promise of the perseverance of the saints and people of God; which is represented as certain as the covenant with day and night, and as the ordinances of heaven and earth, in opposition to a suggestion to the contrary, Jer 33:23-26.
