 | From the Geneva Notes.
 | "I will send the Messiah, who
will come of the house of David, of whom this prophecy is meant, as
testify all the Jews and that which is written, Jer 23:5." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "To crown the blessings God
has in store, here is a promise of the Messiah. He imparts
righteousness to his church, for he is made of God to us
righteousness; and believers are made the righteousness of God in
him." |
|
| From Wesley's
Notes.
| "The kings they had hitherto
had of the line of David, were most of them unrighteous men, but God
promises that after the captivity, they should have a branch of
David who would execute judgment and righteousness in the land, for
the protection and government of those that feared him." |
|
| From the Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "Jerusalem--In Jer 23:6,
instead of this, it is "Israel." "The name" in
the Hebrew has here to be supplied from that passage; and for
"he" (Messiah, the antitypical "Israel"), the
antecedent there (Isa 49:3), we have "she" here, that is,
Jerusalem. She is called by the same name as Messiah, "The Lord
Our Righteousness," by virtue of the mystical oneness between
her (as the literal representative of the spiritual Church) and her
Lord and Husband. Thus, whatever belongs to the Head belongs also to
the members (Eph 5:30, 32). Hence, the Church is called
"Christ" (Ro 16:7; 1Co 12:12). The Church hereby professes
to draw all her righteousness from Christ (Isa 45:24, 25). It is for
the sake of Jerusalem, literal and spiritual, that God the Father
gives this name (Jehovah, Tsidkenu, "The Lord our
Righteousness") to Christ."" |

Lectionary
Commentary, Jeremiah 33:14-16, 1st Sunday of Advent (Year C), by
Dennis Bratcher at Christian
Resource Institute.
| "As an Advent text, this
passage not only calls us to reflect on the faithfulness of God in
the past as He worked in Israel’s history, especially as that
faithfulness worked out in the Coming of Jesus the Christ. It
also calls us to hold the present realities of life within the
cradle of expectation." |

| "The source of energy behind any sense
of hope for the present or future is God’s own word and action, and God’s
challenge to present realities, present structures of society and church,
and present visions of what is possible." |
