‏ Jeremiah 30:9

Verse 9. But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their King] This must refer to the times of the Messiah; and hence the Chaldee has, "They shall obey the Lord their God, veyishta meun limschicha bar David, and they shall obey the Messiah, the Son of David." This is a very remarkable version; and shows that it was a version, not according to the letter, but according to their doctrine and their expectation. David was long since dead; and none of his descendants ever reigned over them after the Babylonish captivity, nor have they since been a regal nation. Zerubbabel, under the Persians, and the Asmoneans, can be no exception to this. They have been no nation since; they are no nation now; and it is only in the latter days that they can expect to be a nation, and that must be a Christian nation.

Christ is promised under the name of his progenitor, David, Isa 55:3, 4; Eze 34:23, 24; 37:24, 25; Ho 3:5.
