ירמיהו, פרק כ״ג, פסוק ו׳

The ultimate vision of redemption paints a future of national unity, absolute security, and a direct connection to divine justice. The primary approach among commentators is that this era unfolds during the days of the Messiah, bringing about a profound historical correction. Unlike the Second Temple period, when only the tribe of Judah returned to the land and remained under foreign rule, this future salvation will involve a complete gathering of the exiles. Judah will be rescued, and together with the rest of the Israelites—representing the ten lost tribes and the descendants of Moses—they will return to their homeland to live in peace and absolute safety as a single, united nation [מצודת דוד, חומת אנך]. Because this specific vision is based on the merit of the people, the salvation will happen rapidly and comprehensively for all tribes at once. This contrasts with other prophecies that warn of a slow, gradual return if the people lack merit [מלבי״ם].

A central feature of this future era involves the introduction of a profound new title that identifies God as the source of righteousness. Commentators explore both who will bestow this name and who will receive it. Most agree that the Israelites will call the Messiah by this title [מצודת דוד, רד״ק, שטיינזלץ, מנחת שי]. However, another perspective suggests that the title is meant for the Israelites themselves, who will earn the right to bear it [מלבי״ם]. A third approach proposes that God Himself will bestow the name upon the Messiah [מנחת שי].

The essence of this title is a recognition that God is the ultimate source of salvation [שטיינזלץ]. During this era, God will justify the people, establishing a permanent state of righteousness that will never fade [רש״י, מצודת דוד, רד״ק]. Incorporating the divine name into this title follows a long biblical tradition. Just as figures like Moses and Jacob named altars after God to reflect His direct providence and special presence, this future name serves as a lasting testament to His active role in the ultimate deliverance of the nation [רד״ק, מנחת שי].
