Jeremiah 33:19 says, And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying, Verse twenty adds, Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; God said that the covenant of the day and night would not be broken. God established the daytime and the nighttime, and man cannot change it, and neither can they change any of God's covenants. We may light up the night with artificial ight, but it is still night. Verse twenty-one declares, Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. God said that just as certain as the day and night continuing as He ordained them, so was the fact that His laws and His Redeemer, the everlasting descendant of David, Jesus Christ the Messiah, would never change. Just as God is in charge of the coming of the day and night, He is in charge of the redemption on mankind, and there is only one way to redemption, and that is through faith in Jesus Christ. Verse twenty-two adds, As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me. Even though at that time the seed of David, God's chosen people, seemed to be defeated and destroyed, God said that His promise to make them as numerous as the stars or the sands of the sea, was still in effect. No matter what our situation may be in the world, if we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, then our salvation can never be taken from us. We are a part of the seed of David, because it isn't being a physical descendent, but a spiritual one that one that counts. Verse twenty-three states, Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, Verse twenty-four adds, Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them. God basically told Jeremiah to not worry about what people were saying about the nation of Judah or Israel. The world may have seen them as two families and have claimed that God had cast them off, but to God they were always one family and He definitely had not cast them off. The world may say that the church is defeated today, but as long as we remain true to God, He tells us we never will be. Verse twenty-five declares, Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; Verse twenty-six adds, Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them. God's promise was that as sure is there is day and night, the descendants of those who He had made the promise of an everlasting covenant with, would not pass away. The promise had been made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob based on their faith in God, and the promise applies to everyone who accepts Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
