Contextual Overview

18 This is what the Lord says: "When I bring Israel home again from captivity and restore their fortunes, Jerusalem will be rebuilt on its ruins, and the palace reconstructed as before. 19 There will be joy and songs of thanksgiving, and I will multiply my people, not diminish them; I will honor them, not despise them. 20 Their children will prosper as they did long ago. I will establish them as a nation before me, and I will punish anyone who hurts them. 21 They will have their own ruler again, and he will come from their own people. I will invite him to approach me," says the Lord , "for who would dare to come unless invited? 22 You will be my people, and I will be your God." 23 Look! The Lord 's anger bursts out like a storm, a driving wind that swirls down on the heads of the wicked. 24 The fierce anger of the Lord will not diminish until it has finished all he has planned. In the days to come you will understand all this.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And ye shall be my people,.... For many hundred years the people of the Jews have been called "Loammi" or, "ye are not my people", Hosea 1:9; but now being converted, the covenant of God's grace shall be renewed, and a fresh manifestation and application of it made unto them; and they partaking of the grace of it, shall appear to be, and shall be, called the people of God, and shall behave as such, and fear and worship the Lord:

and I will be your God; will manifest his love to them, bestow his favours upon them, and take them under his care and protection. This is a summary of the covenant of grace, which will visibly take place when those people shall turn to the Lord, Romans 11:26.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The prophet speaks of Judah as the type of the Church, with Immanuel as her king.

Jeremiah 30:18

tents - The word suggests that a considerable portion of the people were still nomads.

The city ... the palace - Or, each city ... each palace. The heap means an artificial mount to keep the city out of the reach of inundations, and to increase the strength of the fortifications.

Shall remain after the manner thereof - Rather, shall be inhabited according to its rights, i. e., suitably.

Jeremiah 30:19

Them - i. e., the city and palace. Render the last words, become few become mean, i. e., despised, lightly esteemed.

Jeremiah 30:21

Translate, And his glorious one shall spring from himself, and his ruler shall go forth from his midst ... who is this that hath pledged his heart, i. e., hath staked his life, to dealt near unto Me? i. e., “Messiah shall be revealed to them out of their own midst.” He can draw near unto God without fear of death, because being in the form of God, and Himself God, He can claim equality with God Philippians 2:6.

Jeremiah 30:22

This is the effect of Messiah’s ministry. Men cannot become God’s people, until there has been revealed one of themselves, a man, who can approach unto God, as being also God, and so can bridge over the gulf which separates the finite from the Infinite.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 30:22. Ye shall be my people — The old covenant shall be renewed.
