The prophesy of Christ, inInstant
Manifestation Secrets Jeremiah's context, should always be read with the backdrop of the then present calamities in mind. Monarchs like Zedekiah failed ingloriously, but Jeremiah sees a day when the LORD will raise up a Davidic king - in Isaiah, a king for all humankind (66:21) - who "will never fail" (Jer. 33:17).[1]We can draw two things at least from the passage above with regard to, "The LORD Our Righteousness":At this time - which for us is both a present and future reality - we can and will be saved. This is wonderful news for us that we can hardly celebrate enough.
We own rights to the name Righteousness, for the linkages made to the LORD, even though it is not fully our own. God, in Jesus, is guarantor of the Spiritually-saving transaction and relationship. Without God we're not in the least bit righteous; with him, we are and can be in deed.Perhaps most of all this prophesy sets forth a vision for the true King to take reign; to reclaim his creation - as was originally designed.
Leadership looking both back to Jeremiah's time and then forward to now we see all throughout history examples replete in both good and bad. The good rulers always led with a strong moral front. Morality and leadership go hand in hand. For Jeremiah there was nothing to write home about; even for us, our leaders mightn't inspire much hope in us at times. But, we have a great Leader in Jesus. He is in control. In this we can see our futures are not so bleak.
The true King, Our Righteousness, gives us the keys to real success - on God's terms - and we love being beneficiaries where we can live in safety; where justice and righteousness reign. And that occurs to a certain degree - even at times to a great extent - in this world.
