What is the meaning of Jeremiah 33:23? Moreover • This single adverb signals that God is not finished speaking; He is adding fresh insight to promises already given (see Jeremiah 33:14–22). • Similar pivots appear in Jeremiah 32:26 and 2 Samuel 7:4, showing an ongoing conversation between the LORD and His servants. • The word carries a sense of divine overflow—when God speaks, His revelation builds layer upon layer, never contradicting what He has said before (Isaiah 55:11). the word of the LORD • The source is unmistakable. What follows is not human speculation but the inerrant voice of God (Jeremiah 1:2; 30:1–2). • Throughout Scripture, “the word of the LORD” drives creation (Genesis 1), sustains prophets (1 Kings 17:8), and pierces hearts (Hebrews 4:12). • Because the message is God-breathed, it carries absolute authority; the listener’s role is to trust, obey, and expect fulfillment (Numbers 23:19). came to Jeremiah: • God chooses a specific messenger, reinforcing the personal nature of revelation (Jeremiah 1:4-9). • The verb “came” highlights divine initiative; Jeremiah was not seeking new information—God interrupted and directed him (Jeremiah 42:7). • This pattern mirrors other prophetic callings—“the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel” (Ezekiel 1:3), “to Jonah” (Jonah 1:1)—underscoring that prophecy is received, not invented. • For the original audience, knowing the word came “to Jeremiah” authenticated the message; for us, it reminds us that Scripture is historically grounded and personally delivered. summary Jeremiah 33:23 is more than a narrative placeholder. “Moreover” signals fresh revelation, “the word of the LORD” anchors that revelation in divine authority, and “came to Jeremiah” shows God’s personal, targeted approach. Taken together, the verse assures us that God continues to speak, His word is flawless, and He chooses faithful servants to deliver it—truths that invite us to listen with confidence and obey with wholehearted trust. |
