In those days
See "Davidic Covenant" . "Kingdom (O.T.)" Genesis 1:26 . See Scofield " Zechariah 12:8 ". "Kingdom (N.T.)"; Luke 1:31-33 ; 1 Corinthians 15:28 .

The Davidic Covenant
The Davidic Covenant 2 Samuel 7:8-17 .
This covenant, upon which the glorious kingdom of Christ "of the seed of David according to the flesh" is to be founded, secures:
(1) A Davidic "house"; i.e. posterity, family
(2) A "throne"; i.e. royal authority
(3) A kingdom; i.e. sphere of rule
(4) In perpetuity; "for ever"
(5) And this fourfold covenant has but one condition: disobedience in the Davidic family is to be visited with chastisement; but not to the abrogation of the covenant 2 Samuel 7:15 ; Psalms 89:20-37 ; Isaiah 24:5 ; Isaiah 54:3 .
The chastisement fell; first in the division of the kingdom under Rehoboam, and, finally, in the captivities. 2 Kings 25:1-7 . Since that time but one King of the Davidic family has been crowned at Jerusalem and He was crowned with thorns. But the Davidic Covenant confirmed to David by the oath of Jehovah, and renewed to Mary by the angel Gabriel, is immutable Psalms 89:30-37 and the Lord God will yet give to that thorn-crowned One "the throne of his father David."; Luke 1:31-33 ; Acts 2:29-32 ; Acts 15:14-17 .
See, for the other seven covenants:
EDENIC, (See Scofield " Genesis 1:28 ") ADAMIC, See Scofield " Genesis 3:15 " NOAHIC, See Scofield " Genesis 9:1 " ABRAHAMIC, See Scofield " Genesis 15:18 " MOSAIC, See Scofield " Exodus 19:25 " PALESTINIAN, See Scofield " Deuteronomy 30:3 " NEW, See Scofield " Hebrews 8:8 "
branch
A name of Christ, used in fourfold way:
(1) "The Branch of Jehovah" ( Isaiah 4:2 ), that is, the "Immanuel" character of Christ Isaiah 7:14 to be fully manifested to restored and converted Israel after His return in divine glory Matthew 25:31 .
(2) the "Branch of David" Isaiah 11:1 ; Jeremiah 23:5 ; Jeremiah 33:15 that is, the Messiah, "of the seed of David according to the flesh" Romans 1:3 revealed in His earthly glory as King of kings, and Lord of lords;
(3) Jehovah's "Servant, the Branch" Zechariah 3:8 Messiah's humiliation and obedience unto death according to; Isaiah 52:13-15 ; Isaiah 53:1-12 ; Philippians 2:5-8 .
(4) the "man whose name is the Branch" Zechariah 6:12 ; Zechariah 6:13 that is His character as Son of man, the "last Adam," the "second Man" 1 Corinthians 15:45-47 reigning, as Priest-King, over the earth in the dominion given to and lost by the first Adam. Matthew is the Gospel of the "Branch of David"; Mark of "Jehovah's Servant, the Branch"; Luke of "the man whose name is the Branch"; John of "the Branch of Jehovah."

Verse Meaning

At that future time, Yahweh would cause a righteous Sprout from the Davidic line of kings to appear, a legitimate ruler. He would rule in justice and righteousness on the earth (not just in heaven; cf. Jeremiah 23:5-6). Other messianic passages in Jeremiah picture Him as the fountain of living waters ( Jeremiah 2:13), the good Shepherd ( Jeremiah 23:4; Jeremiah 31:10), the Lord our righteousness ( Jeremiah 23:6), David the king ( Jeremiah 30:9), and the Redeemer ( Jeremiah 50:34).
