Jeremiah 3:17

“At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord, etc.] That is, the Gospel church, the heavenly Jerusalem, the Jerusalem above, that is free, and the mother of us all; which is Christ’s kingdom, where he has his throne and subjects, and where he sits and reigns as King of saints; and where they yield a cheerful and ready subjection to him, signified by calling the church his throne: and all the nations shall be gathered unto it: which shows that Jerusalem, literally understood, cannot be meant, but the church of Christ; to which the Gentiles, being converted, should join themselves in great numbers in all nations, as they have done; and which will be more largely accomplished…”

“Jerusalem--the whole city, not merely the temple. As it has been the center of the Hebrew theocracy, so it shall be the point of attraction to the whole earth (Isa 2:2-4; Zac 2:10-11; Zac 14:16-21). throne of . . . Lord--The Shekinah, the symbol of God's peculiar nearness to Israel (Deu 4:7) shall be surpassed by the antitype, God's own throne in Jerusalem (Psa 2:6, Psa 2:8; Eze 34:23-24; Zac 2:5). imagination--rather, as Margin, "the obstinacy" or stubbornness.”

“The throne of the Lord - Yahweh’s throne shall not be the ark, but Jerusalem, i. e., the Christian Church Revelation 21:2; Galatians 4:26. To Jerusalem - The Septuagint and Syriac are probably right in omitting this word. Imagination ... - Stubbornness (margin). A word always used in a bad sense, for “obstinacy.” return to 'Top of Page'”

“The throne - Instead of the ark, the church typified by Jerusalem, shall be the place of God's residence, where by his spirit he will rule and act in his word and ordinances. Jerusalem - Dwelling in Jerusalem, or where the Lord placed his name, of old in Jerusalem, but now in the church. Neither - Both Jews and Gentiles shall now conform themselves to the will of God. Jeremiah 3:18”

“3:17 In the future, the city of Jerusalem would be a global center of worship called The Throne of the Lord, and people from nations around the earth would renounce their rebellion (7:24; Deut 29:19; Isa 60:9).”

“the throne: Jer 14:21, Jer 17:12, Jer 31:23; Psa 87:3; Isa 6:1, Isa 66:1; Eze 1:26, Eze 43:7; Gal 4:26 and all the nations: Isa 2:2-4, Isa 49:18-23, Isa 60:3-9, Isa 66:20; Mic 4:1-5; Zac 2:11, Zac 8:20-23 to the name: Isa 26:8, Isa 56:6, Isa 59:19 walk: Jer 7:24, Jer 9:14, Jer 11:8, Jer 16:12, Jer 18:12; Gen 8:21; Num 15:39; Rom 1:21, Rom 6:14; Co2 10:4, Co2 10:5; Eph 4:17-19 imagination: or, stubbornness, Deu 29:29 \*marg.
