JEREMIAH 33

GOD WILL RESTORE THE PROSPERITY OF JERUSALEM  

God declares that destruction and devastation are coming upon Jerusalem through the force of the Babylonians. God speaks to Jeremiah again while he is imprisoned, letting him know that although many would die soon, God plans to bring health and healing eventually.

God allows Jerusalem to be overthrown and destroyed because of their sin and rebellion. Although God allows consequences and punishment, He also shows compassion and plans to restore and rebuild a new Jerusalem.

Reaffirming God’s promises to David, Jeremiah tells of a future righteous leader who will be raised from David’s lineage. This future leader, referring to Jesus, will serve as both a king and a priest.
