Jeremiah 33:14-16 (NASB)
14 “‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will fulfill the good promise I made to the people of Israel and Judah. 15 “‘In those days and at that time I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David’s line; he will do what is just and right in the land. 16 In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in safety. This is the name by which it[c] will be called:The Lord Our Righteous Savior.’ In the agony of the exile, the prophet did not leave Israel without hope. God's message was that, in spite of the destruction to come, He would restore His people and heal their land. It was the Messiah who would accomplish this restoration for God's people, bringing justice, peace, and rightness to the world. As we await the fullness of the kingdom of God and His Messiah Jesus, we too hold to the words of the prophet and anticipate the days when Peace reigns over the earth.
