What is the connection between Jeremiah 23 and Jeremiah 33? This passage focuses on a special moment in these chapters where a prophecy is mentioned. This prophecy talks about a righteous descendant from David's family who will bring justice and righteousness and will be known as "The Lord is our righteousness." That is: Jehovah Tsidkenu—the LORD Jesus Christ.

Wow thank you for this! I needed to hear this! I must stop looking to myself and behold only His righteousness because He is my only hope. Praise the Lord!

THE LORD, OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Let no one who honors Christ at all, give Him less honor than He gives the Father, for this would be to dishonor the Father by just so much, but let all, with the angels in heaven, worship the Son, having no fear that they are worshiping and serving the creature instead of the Creator.

Great message, though there's no need to sneer at scholarly pronunciation of the tetragrammaton as "Yaheweh." There's nothing magical about either pronunciation, but as far as linguistic accuracy goes, not only does it do away with the hard "j" that doesn’t exist in Hebrew, but "Yahweh" points directly toward the self-existing nature (I AM) of God since it is a conjugation of the "to be" verb.

How strange, for Ch. 33 the versions I have always translate the name the Lord our Righteousness there as the name of the city (aka. "she"), as per KJV and NKJV.
"In those days Judah will be saved, And Jerusalem will dwell safely. And this is the name by which she will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS" (NKJV).
This of course, would point out rather that the Church is named after Christ her husband.

I thought masculine and feminine pronouns should be rather distinct in the Hebrew, so I'm not sure what is causing the discrepancy in the translations...

So, you say (at 5.33): "he sat down at the right hand of *Majesty*
And a few minutes later you say "He's seated on *the* throne"!

Why suddenly use "Majesty"??
It's OBVIOUSLY because you're uncomfortable saying:
"Jehovah" is sitting at the right hand of GOD".
And it's obvious why you avoid saying that!

Jesus is the SON of God and Messiah and son of man (as he calls himself numerous times: would Jehovah call himself "son [descendant] of MAN"??) and it makes perfect sense that now glorified, he sits at the right hand of his father, God.

THAT is precisely what the New Testament says about Jesus *numerous* times: "Jesus sitting at the right hand of GOD"!
In Acts 7, Stephen even SEES "the Glory of God and Jesus standing AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD": "Look, I see heaven open and the son of man standing at the right hand of God".

You also say "he lived to fulfill all righteousness".
Yep! But WHAT righteousness? WHOSE righteousness?
His FATHER'S i.e GOD's!
Read Matthew 3:15 in context.
Jesus is OBVIOUSLY acting in OBEDIENCE (to the one who sent him i.e God) by getting water baptized, telling John the Baptist that it's "right that we do this to fulfill all righteousness".

Jesus is HEIR [look up THAT word!], our MEDIATOR, RECONCILER, SENT BY GOD, FIRSTBORN, second ADAM, with "the SPIRIT of the Lord upon (him), anointed by God" (Luke 4:18) and, as he later says, God *indwelling* him (John 14:10-11)...

He was "conceived". He "learned obedience". He "was tempted". He DIED!
These are ALL Scriptural truths and you know that you're contradicting yourself and stating nonsense by suggesting "Yahweh died to reconcile us to Yahweh".
That last sentence is not a "mystery" (oh how the ever contradictory RCC love using that word to cover their own fatuity!).
It is NONSENSE because it comes from Satan.
Read 1st John over and over again until you realize what he's warning us about and why (and he's NOT warning us about ensuring we call Jesus "God/Yahweh"! Otherwise he would have said that loud and clear).

EVERY TIME you or anyone preaches on this, you contradict yourselves (and you contradict Scripture) because you refuse to make a simple declaration: the same one that John the Baptist, Nathaniel, Martha, Peter (in Matthew 16, where Jesus calls him BLESSED for getting it/having it revealed to him) and others make.

"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ*? He is antichrist, the one who denies the father and the son." (1 John 2:22)

[*The meaning in English of the Greek word "Christ" and the Hebrew word "Messiah" is "one anointed BY GOD"]

By calling Jesus "Jehovah/Yahweh" you ARE denying the father (God) and the son (Jesus).

But oh man, you cling to your traditions of man, don't you?
