Jeremiah 33:8

And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me. I WILL CLEANSE THEM - (; ; Hebrews 9:13, "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God!") Alluding to the legal rites of purification. FROM ALL THEIR INIQUITY ... ALL THEIR INIQUITIES - from both the principle of sin within and its outward manifestations in acts. The repetition is in order that the Jews may consider how great is the grace of God in not...

He says first, that he would _cleanse themfrom all iniquity, _and then, that he would be propitious to _all their iniquities _He no doubt repeats the same thing; but the words are not superfluous, for it was necessary seriously to remind the Jews of their many vices, of which indeed they were conscious, and yet they did not repent. As then they perversely followed their own wills, it was needful for the Prophet to goad them sharply, so that they might know that they were exposed to eternal destruction, if God’s mercy, and that by no means common, came not to their aid. Here, then, he represents the greatness of their sins, that he might on the other hand extol the mercy of God. By the word _cleanse, _one might understand regeneration, and this may seem probable to those who are not well acquainted with the language of Scripture; but טהר, _theer, _means properly to expiate. This then does...

1-13 Those who expect to receive comforts from God, must call upon him. Promises are given, not to do away, but to quicken and encourage prayer. These promises lead us to the gospel of Christ; and in that God has revealed truth to direct us, and peace to make us easy. All who by sanctifying grace are cleansed from the filth of sin, by pardoning mercy are freed from the guilt. When sinners are thus justified, washed, and sanctified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Holy Spirit, they are enabled to walk before God in peace and purity. Many are led to perceive the real difference between the people of God and the world around them, and to fear the Divine wrath. It is promised that the people who were long in sorrow, shall again be filled with joy. Where the Lord gives righteousness and peace, he will give all needful supplies for temporal wants; and all we have will be comforts, as...

Verse Jeremiah 33:8. _I WILL CLEANSE THEM_] These promises of pardon and holiness must be referred to their state under the Gospel, when they shall have received Jesus as the promised Messiah....

EXPOSITION A chapter of promises, having reference, first, to the people and kingdom in general (Jeremiah 33:4), and then to the royal and priestly offices in particular (Jeremiah 33:14). The first part is but the expansion of passages in the preceding prophecy, to which this chapter is attached by the opening verse. The remaining portion is less closely connected; it is occupied by promises of the perpetual duration of the house of David and of the Levites. It should be noticed by the student that there are difficulties connected with the authorship of Jeremiah 33:14, Jeremiah 33:26 (see below)....

AND I WILL CLEANSE THEM FROM ALL THEIR INIQUITY, WHEREBY THEY HAVE SINNED AGAINST ME,.... Even by the blood of Christ, which cleanses from all sin, of heart, lip, and life, in allusion to the purifications under the law, 1 John 1:7; see Ezekiel 36:25; AND I WILL PARDON ALL THEIR INIQUITIES, WHEREBY THEY HAVE SINNED, AND WHEREBY THEY HAVE TRANSGRESSED AGAINST ME; for Christ's sake, and through his stoning sacrifice, and upon the foot of full satisfaction made by him. A heap of words is here used, to express the fulness of pardoning grace through the blood of Christ, which reaches to all manner of sin; and this is the great and peculiar blessing of the new covenant; see Jeremiah 31:34....

CHAPTER 33 New Message of Restoration and Blessing _ 1. The call to pray and Jerusalem's overthrow (Jeremiah 33:1) _ 2. Future blessing and glory (Jeremiah 33:6) 3. The Branch of Righteousness; Jerusalem's new name (Jeremiah 33:15) 4. Jehovah's faithfulness (Jeremiah 33:19) Jeremiah 33:1. Jeremiah is still in prison, as we learn from the first verse. The siege of Jerusalem is on. Then the Lord said, “Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which th

JEREMIAH 33. PROMISES OF RESTORATION. There may be a Jeremianic nucleus in the first half of the chapter, but Jeremiah 33:14, 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 14:13), renew its former estate ...
