Notes

Jeremiah 33:16

The LORD Our Righteousness: Hebrew Yahweh Tsidqenu; see Jeremiah 23:5–6, where this title refers to the Messiah. This name reverses Zedekiah’s name (Tsidqiyyahu, “Righteous is the Lord”). Zedekiah did not live up to his name, but the Messiah would fulfill it.

Jeremiah 33:14–18

Continuing the discussion about the flaws in Zedekiah and other kings of David's dynasty (Jeremiah 23:1–5), the Lord revealed the greatness of a future ruler.

Jeremiah 33:1–26

  • As Jerusalem and the king of Judah faced invaders, God gave Jeremiah insight into His long-term plan. The promises would only come true after the destruction. The nation's hope was not in avoiding destruction but in the purification it would bring.

  • Jeremiah was confined in the courtyard of the guard in the royal palace from late 587 BC, during the siege, until Jerusalem fell in August 586 BC (see Jeremiah 32:2).

Jeremiah 30:1–33:26

People often call these four chapters "The Book of Consolation," a highlight in Old Testament revelation. Unlike the many judgment messages Jeremiah gave his people, these messages are full of hope and promise a wonderful future restoration.
