Isaiah 61:11
King James Version
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud,
and as the garden causeth the things
that are sown in it to spring forth;
so the Lord God will cause righteousness
and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
When nations want to offer peace, they offer the "olive" branch.
But do you know what the REAL BRANCH is?
The One that can really offer TRUE PEACE?
The One Whose PEACE will last FOREVER?
Read these, and know:
Psalm 132:12-18
King James Version
12 If thy children will keep my covenant
and my testimony that I shall teach them,
their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
13 For the Lord hath chosen Zion;
he hath desired it for his habitation.
14 This is my rest for ever:
here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision:
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation:
and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17 There will I make the horn of David to bud:
I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame:
but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
Isaiah 11:1-5
King James Version
11 And there shall come forth a rod
out of the stem of Jesse,
and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2 And 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;
3 And shall make him of quick understanding
in the fear of the Lord:
and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes,
neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor,
and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth:
and he shall smite the earth:
with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath of his lips
shall he slay the wicked.
5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins,
and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
Isaiah 11:10
King James Version
10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse,
which shall stand for an ensign of the people;
to it shall the Gentiles seek:
and his rest shall be glorious.
Isaiah 42:1-8
King James Version
42 Behold my servant, whom I uphold;
mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth;
I have put my spirit upon him:
he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 He shall not cry,
nor lift up,
nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break,
and the smoking flax shall he not quench:
he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged,
till he have set judgment in the earth:
and the isles shall wait for his law.
5 Thus saith God the Lord,
he that created the heavens,
and stretched them out;
he that spread forth the earth,
and that which cometh out of it;
he that giveth breath unto the people upon it,
and spirit to them that walk therein:
6 I the Lord have called thee in righteousness,
and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee,
and give thee for a covenant of the people,
for a light of the Gentiles;
7 To open the blind eyes,
to bring out the prisoners from the prison,
and them that sit in darkness
out of the prison house.
8 I am the Lord:
that is my name:
and my glory will I not give to another,
neither my praise to graven images.
Jeremiah 23:5-6
King James Version
5 Behold,
the days come, saith the Lord,
that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch,
and a King shall reign and prosper,
and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved,
and Israel shall dwell safely:
and this is his name whereby he shall be called,
The Lord Our Righteousness.
Jeremiah 33:14-18
King James Version
14 Behold,
the days come, saith the Lord,
that I will perform that good thing
which I have promised unto the house of Israel
and to the house of Judah.
15 In those days,
and at that time,
will I cause the Branch of righteousness
to grow up unto David;
and he shall execute judgment
and righteousness in the land.
16 In those days shall Judah be saved,
and Jerusalem shall dwell safely:
and this is the name wherewith she shall be called,
The Lord our righteousness.
17 For thus saith the Lord;
David shall never want a man to sit
upon the throne of the house of Israel;
18 Neither shall the priests the Levites
want a man before me to offer burnt offerings,
and to kindle meat offerings,
and to do sacrifice continually.
Zechariah 3:8
King James Version
8 Hear now,
O Joshua the high priest,
thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee:
for they are men wondered at:
for, behold,
I will bring forth my servant
the Branch.
Zechariah 6:12-13
King James Version
12 And speak unto him, saying,
Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying,
Behold the man whose name is The Branch;
and he shall grow up out of his place,
and he shall build the temple of the Lord:
13 Even he shall build the temple of the Lord;
and he shall bear the glory,
and shall sit and rule upon his throne;
and he shall be a priest upon his throne:
and the counsel of peace
shall be between them both.
John 15:1-3
King James Version
15 I am the true vine,
and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit
he taketh away:
and every branch that beareth fruit,
he purgeth it,
that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean
through the word
which I have spoken unto you.
JESUS is that BRANCH.
Where our peace, love, joy, and salvation comes from.
HAIL to the ONE and ONLY TRUE KING -- the LORD JESUS!
