Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 23:6
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
6. Judah . . . Israel . . . dwell safely —Compare Jeremiah 33:16 , where "Jerusalem" is substituted for "Israel" here. Only Judah, and that only in part, has as yet returned. So far are the Jews from having enjoyed, as yet, the temporal blessings here foretold as the result of Messiah's reign, that their lot has been, for eighteen centuries, worse than ever before. The accomplishment must, therefore, be still future, when both Judah and Israel in their own land shall dwell safely under a Christocracy, far more privileged than even the old theocracy ( Jeremiah 32:37 ; Deuteronomy 33:28 ; Isaiah 54:1-17 ; Isaiah 60:1-22 ; Isaiah 65:17-25 ; Zechariah 14:11 ). shall be called, the Lord —that is, shall be ( Zechariah 14:11- : ) "Jehovah," God's incommunicable name. Though when applied to created things, it expresses only some peculiar connection they have with Jehovah ( Genesis 22:14 ; Exodus 17:15 ), yet when applied to Messiah it must express His Godhead manifested in justifying power towards us ( 1 Timothy 3:16 ). our —marks His manhood, which is also implied in His being a Branch raised unto David, whence His human title, "Son of David" (compare 1 Timothy 3:16- : ). Righteousness —marks His Godhead, for God alone can justify the ungodly (compare Romans 4:5 ; Isaiah 45:17 ; Isaiah 45:24 ; Isaiah 45:25 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-7" class="com-number"
