Jehovah Tsidkenu
The Lord Our Righteousness
Relevant Scripture (first mention): Jeremiah 23
Understanding Jeremiah’s call as a prophet:
When God Calls for RIGHTEOUSNESS
Woe to the shepherds: ALL LEADERS
God takes exception to the SCATTERING of His people. (Jeremiah 23:1)

“Tending” to the people is not simply addressing their physical needs, but also their spiritual needs. (Jeremiah 23:2)

God NEVER ALLOWS evil to go unaddressed. (Jeremiah 23:2)
When God Calls for RESTORATION
God will ALWAYS restore us. (Jeremiah 23:3)

God will RAISE UP shepherds – NOT man. (Jeremiah 23:4)

Those under GODLY LEADERSHIP will not be afraid, terrified, or missing.
When God Calls for REDEMPTION
The “righteous branch” for David is the PROMISE OF THE MESSIAH. (Jeremiah 23:5)

The righteousness and redemption of Christ was for ALL THE EARTH – not just Israel.

Jehovah Tsidkenu = The Lord Our Righteousness (Jeremiah 23:6).

Note: The meaning of the name of the last of the 4 kings (Zedekiah) was – “Righteousness is the Lord”. The script is flipped and God (Christ) is referenced as the Lord of OUR righteousness.
