Jeremiah 23:5
_ _ As Messianic prophecy extended over many years in which many political changes took place in harmony with these, it displayed its riches by a variety more effective than if it had been manifested all at once. As the moral condition of the Jews required in each instance, so Messiah was exhibited in a corresponding phase, thus becoming more and more the soul of the nation’s life: so that He is represented as the antitypical Israel (Isaiah 49:3).
_ _ unto David — Hengstenberg observes that Isaiah dwells more on His prophetical and priestly office, which had already been partly set forth (Deuteronomy 18:18; Psalms 110:4). Other prophets dwell more on His kingly office. Therefore here He is associated with “David” the king: but in Isaiah 11:1 with the then poor and unknown “Jesse.”
_ _ righteous Branch — “the Branch of righteousness” (Jeremiah 33:15); “The Branch” simply (Zechariah 3:8; Zechariah 6:12); “The Branch of the Lord” (Isaiah 4:2).
_ _ prosper — the very term applied to Messiah’s undertaking (Isaiah 52:13, Margin; Isaiah 53:10). Righteousness or justice is the characteristic of Messiah elsewhere, too, in connection with our salvation or justification (Isaiah 53:11; Daniel 9:24; Zechariah 9:9). So in the New Testament He is not merely “righteous” Himself, but “righteousness to us” (1 Corinthians 1:30), so that we become “the righteousness of God in Him” (Romans 10:3, Romans 10:4; 2 Corinthians 5:19-21; Philippians 3:9).
_ _ execute judgment and justice in the earth — (Psalms 72:2; Isaiah 9:7; Isaiah 32:1, Isaiah 32:18). Not merely a spiritual reign in the sense in which He is “our righteousness,” but a righteous reign “in the earth” (Jeremiah 3:17, Jeremiah 3:18). In some passages He is said to come to judge, in others to reign. In Matthew 25:34, He is called “the King.” Psalms 9:7 unites them. Compare Daniel 7:22, Daniel 7:26, Daniel 7:27. |
Jeremiah 23:5
Behold — Even the Jewish doctors, as well as the Christian interpreters, understand this as a prophecy of the Messiah who is called the branch, Isaiah 4:2, Isaiah 53:2. And here, he is called the righteous branch, not only because himself was righteous, but because he maketh his people righteous. Shall execute — Protecting the innocent, and defending his people throughout the world, judging the prince of the world, and by his spirit governing his people. |
Jeremiah 23:5
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise to David a righteous (e) Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice upon the earth.
(e) This prophecy is of the restitution of the Church in the time of Jesus Christ, who is the true branch, read (Isaiah 11:1, Isaiah 45:8; Jeremiah 35:15; Daniel 9:24). |
