Jeremiah 23 SERIES: Vs.5-8

Commentary of Charles Spurgeon, Adam Clarke & Matthew Henry
 
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth
In His days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; [think spiritual Egypt--this secular, non-believing world]
But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, [think spiritual Babylon, north of Israel, and the apostate churches that stem from the beast] and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
Vs.5-8 
 
I will raise unto David a righteous Branch - .... the passage has been understood to refer to our blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, who was a branch out of the stem of Jesse; a righteous king;...Messiah the Prince, that great and good Shepherd of the sheep, shall in the latter days be raised up to bless his church, and to be the glory of his people.

In his days Judah shall be saved - The real Jew is not one who has his circumcision in the flesh, but in the spirit
--The real Israel are true believers in Christ Jesus; 
---and the genuine Jerusalem is the Church of the first-born, and made free, with all her children, from the bondage of sin, Satan, death,...
 
THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS - What a glorious name for our King....Christ is the root and offspring of David, Rev. 22:16. He is a branch of God's raising up; ...even all that are his, are made righteous. As an advocate, he is Jesus Christ the righteous.
 
Christ shall, by His gospel, break the usurped power of Satan, institute a perfect rule of holy living, and make all the world righteous.
