What does Jeremiah 33:14 Mean?

Verse Meaning

Future days would come, the Lord promised, when He would fulfill His promises concerning the restoration of all Israel.
"The predicted restoration ("the days are coming") is not, however, to be looked for in the immediate time of the return from the Captivity. Only in a limited and preliminary way were these promises fulfilled in Zerubbabel and Sheshbazzar after the Captivity (cf. Ezra 1:8; Ezra 2:2; also Ezra 2:40-54; Ezra 8:15-20). Ultimately, they are combined in the highest sense in Christ (cf. Psalm 110:4) and are yet to be fulfilled in the reign of Messiah on earth." [1]
"Days are coming" (Heb. hinneh yamim ba"im) has appeared16 times so far in Jeremiah referring to coming judgment on Judah and the surrounding nations. In the remaining nine occurrences of the phrase in the book, it points to a time of future blessing for Israel. [2]
