The Branch

“There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.” Isaiah‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬

“Then speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying: “Behold, the Man whose name is the BRANCH! From His place He shall branch out, And He shall build the temple of the Lord; Yes, He shall build the temple of the Lord. He shall bear the glory, And shall sit and rule on His throne; So He shall be a priest on His throne, And the counsel of peace shall be between them both.” ’” Zechariah‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“‘Hear, O Joshua, the high priest, You and your companions who sit before you, For they are a wondrous sign; For behold, I am bringing forth My Servant the BRANCH.” Zechariah‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“‘In those days and at that time I will cause to grow up to David A Branch of righteousness; He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭33‬:‭15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The word for branch here in the Hebrew is Netzer. Which God uses as a play on words for the place where His only begotten Son, Jesus the Messiah, would grow up, Nazareth. He would be called the Nazarene.
