The scripture may be but speaking of David of the Old Testament. It is said, though, that some scriptures have two meanings. The passage (Jeremiah 33:15) says, "In those days," which could be a reference to the future. Perhaps if the scripture were referring to David of the Old Testament, it would say, "In this day, and at this time," instead of, "In those days, and at that time."
The passage goes on to say, "will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land."
The father of modern-day Israel, as he is known as, was David Ben-Gurion, the first prime minister of Israel. Jewish occupation of Israel "grew up" at that time. David Ben-Gurion was considered righteous.
Whether the passage was referring to Ben-Gurion, we may not know. Perhaps not. But, it is interesting, the same.
