Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 33:1-3

To A Doubting And Troubled Jeremiah YHWH Promises To Reveal The Glorious But Seemingly Impossible Future, Which Will Be Brought About By His Creative Power Following The Current Storm (Jeremiah 33:1-3 ). Jeremiah 33:1 ‘Moreover the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying,’ The need for a ‘second word’ suggests that YHWH is aware of Jeremiah’s confusion as the siege gets even more severe. Situated as he was he had had plenty of... read more

Section 2 Subsection 2 Part 2). Having Been Imprisoned During The Siege Of Jerusalem Jeremiah Buys A Piece Of Hereditary Land In Order To Demonstrate Confidence In The Future Of The Land Of Judah, Something Resulting In A Promise Of Restoration And Of The Coming Of The Shoot Of David (Jeremiah 32:1 to Jeremiah 33:16 ).

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 33:1-26

Jeremiah 33. Promises of Restoration.— There may be a Jeremianic nucleus in the first half of the chapter, but Jeremiah 33:14-Ezekiel :, being imitative, and omitted by LXX, is probably late. Yahweh the Restorer promises to reveal great and secret things ( Isaiah 48:6). In spite of the present state of the city, which is surrounded by besiegers, Yahweh will restore it to health ( Jeremiah 33:6, “ new flesh” , Jeremiah 8:22), establish its prosperity (“ truth” means “ firmness” ; cf. Jeremiah... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 33:3

God either speaketh to the people to pray unto him, or to the prophet on the behalf of the people to pray, promising him he would show him great things. Object. But how doth God say that Jeremiah did not know them, when God before this time had revealed them to the prophet, and the prophet had revealed them? Solut. He did not know them before God had revealed them, and though God had revealed them, yet by his prayer in the former chapter it appears he did not fully understand them, or firmly... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 33:1-26

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—This chapter is in date and subject essentially linked to chapter 32. For Notes, therefore, see previous chapter.Literary Criticisms.—Jeremiah 33:3. “MIGHTY THINGS:” altering ב into נ, making the word נְצֻרוֹת, the better statement, “hidden things which thou knowest not,” is gained, and this is probably the correct reading. Or retaining the word בְצֻרוֹת unaltered, which means fortified, it may be understood as impenetrable things, inaccessible things, and hence... read more

DISCOURSE: 1078THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYERJeremiah 33:3. Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.IT is curious to observe in what different estimation the same persons are held by their fellow-creatures and by God. We may certainly be allowed to say, that there was not, at the time referred to in our text, a more holy person upon earth than Jeremiah; yet by his countrymen was he held in such abhorrence, as to be deemed worthy only of... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Jeremiah 33:3

Things Unknown Early in the year 1858 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Jeremiah 33:3 . God's people will never thrive on anything less substantial than bread from heaven. Israel in Egypt might live on garlic and onions, but Israel in the wilderness must be fed with the manna that came down from heaven, and with the water that gushed out of the rock, when it was smitten by the rod of God. The... read more
