Jerome

Commentary on Jeremiah · Written before 420.

(Verse 17) In that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord, and all nations shall gather unto it in the name of the Lord, in Jerusalem, and they shall not walk after the stubbornness of their wicked heart. The Lord shall not sit upon the ark of the Covenant and Cherubim, as was previously said to that people: You who sit upon the Cherubim, manifest (Psalm 79:2): but all who truly believe with perfect mind, shall be the throne of God.

This site's exposition

Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord

on Jeremiah 3:14-18

The marriage image turns personal, for I am married unto you, and the promised gathering is described as a remnant chosen one of a city, and two of a family, brought to Zion under pastors according to mine heart. The ark of the covenant of the Lord passing from memory, they shall say no more, neither shall they remember it, is a striking claim stated as the text gives it, the older writers reading it as the ark's function eclipsed rather than its history erased. All the nations gathered to Jerusalem and the house of Judah walking with the house of Israel out of the land of the north are named as the text states them, a restoration of the divided kingdom to one people in one land, without settling here how or when it comes.

As the gospel got ground this throne of the Lord was set up even where Satan's seat had been. It is especially the throne of his grace; for those that by faith come to this Jerusalem come to God the judge of all, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, Heb. xii.
