Christ the branch of righteousness; 17. a continuance of kingdom and priesthood; 19. and a stability of a blessed seed. For this is what the LORD says This phrase underscores the divine authority and certainty of the message.

This introduction assures the reader that the promise is not from a human source but from God Himself, who is faithful and sovereign over history. David will never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel Persons / Places / Events 1. JeremiahA major prophet in the Old Testament, known for his prophecies concerning the destruction and restoration of Jerusalem. 2. David The second king of Israel, a man after God's own heart, whose lineage is central to the messianic promise. 3. The LORD (Yahweh) The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who makes promises and ensures their fulfillment. 4. The House of Israel Refers to the nation of Israel, God's chosen people, who are central to His redemptive plan. 5. The Throne Symbolizes the authority and kingship promised to David's lineage, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Teaching Points God's Faithfulness to His PromisesGod's covenant with David is a testament to His unwavering faithfulness. Despite Israel's unfaithfulness, God remains true to His word. The Messianic Fulfillment in Christ Jesus Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of the promise to David. He is the eternal King who reigns over God's people. The Importance of Lineage and Legacy The promise to David highlights the significance of spiritual heritage and the impact of a godly legacy. Hope in Times of Despair Jeremiah's prophecy was given during a time of national crisis. It serves as a reminder that God's plans prevail even in dire circumstances. The Eternal Kingdom Believers are part of an unshakeable kingdom under the reign of Christ, offering hope and assurance of eternal life.(17) David shall never want a man . . .--The words are hardly more than a repetition of promises like those of 2Samuel 7:16; 1Kings 2:4; Psalm 89:29; Psalm 89:36, but it is here repeated under very different circumstances. Then it had been given when the line of David was in all the freshness of its strength. Now it is uttered when that line seemed on the very point of dying out. The hope of the prophet is, however, inextinguishable. He is certain that the true King will always be of the house of David. It lay almost in the nature of the case that the words of the prophet should find a fulfilment other than that which was present to his thoughts; and that, while he pictured to himself an unbroken succession of sovereigns of David's line, there was in fact a higher fulfilment in the continuous sovereignty of the Christ as the true Son of David. We have something like an echo of the words in the words of the Angel at the Annunciation (Luke 1:32-33), and it is an echo that interprets them.Verse 17. - David shall never want a man, etc. This is, in fact, a republication of the promise given by Nathan in 2 Samuel 7:12-16. It agrees in form with the announcements in 1 Kings 2:4; 1 Kings 8:25; 1 Kings 9:5. Parallel Commentaries ...
