Messiah as the "Branch"

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Mat 2:23, “And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.”[/FONT]

“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Nazarene” is word #G3480 Ναζωραῖος Nazoraios (na-zō-rai'-os) n/g., 1. a Nazoraean, i.e. inhabitant of Nazareth., 2. (by extension) a Christian. [from G3478], KJV: Nazarene, of Nazareth , Root(s): G3478 [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Root; G3478 Ναζαρέτ Nazaret (na-za-ret') n/l., Ναζαρέθ Nazareth (na-za-reth'), Nazareth or Nazaret, a place in Israel. [of uncertain derivation], KJV: Nazareth[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Matthew 21:9-11, “And the crowds who went before and those who followed cried out, saying, “Hoshia-na to the Son of Dawiḏ! Blessed is He who is coming in the Name of [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]יהוה[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]! Hoshia-na in the highest!” (Ps 118:26) And as He entered into Yerushalayim, all the city was stirred, saying, “Who is this?” And the crowds said, “This is [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]יהושע[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif], the prophet from Natsareth of Galil.”[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]John 7:40-44, “Many from the crowd, when they heard the word, then said, “This truly is the Prophet.” Others said, “This is the Messiah,” but others said, “Does the Messiah then come out of Galil? Did not the Scripture say that the Messiah comes from the seed of Dawiḏ (2 Sa 7:12, Ps 89:4) and from the village of Bĕyth Leḥem, (Mic 5:2) where Dawiḏ was?” So a division came about among the people because of Him. And some of them wished to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.”[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]John 7:52-53, “They answered and said to him, “Are you also from Galil? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galil.” And each one went to his own house.”[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Matthew 21:11, “...This is [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]יהושע[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif], the prophet from Natsareth of Galil.” Yet the is not a Scripture foretelling a prophet or the Messiah coming from Galil John 7:53, “...Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galil.” And each one went to his own house.” Then why did Matt write this; Mat 2:23, “...that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.” Did they miss something in the Scriptures? Why would He be called a Nazerene? The city of Nazareth is not even mentioned it the OT Scriptures a single time. Let us take a deeper look.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Genesis 49:26, "“The blessings of your father have excelled the blessings of my ancestors, up to the limit of the everlasting hills. They are on the head of Yosĕph, and on the crown of the head of him who was separate (#H5139) from his brothers."[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Judges 13:6-7, “And the woman came and spoke to her husband, saying, “A Man of the Mighty One came to me, and His appearance was like the appearance of a Messenger of the Mighty One, very awesome.

And now, drink no wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean food, for the youth is a Nazirite (#H5139) to the Mighty One from the womb to the day of his death.”[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Could the answer be in this word “נָזִיר [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]naziyr” meaning “separate, holy, an unpruned vine, Nazirite”[/FONT][/FONT]

And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears. But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, and shall decide with straightness for the meek ones of the earth, and shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth (Rev 19:15, Hebrews 4:12-13), and slay the wrong with the breath of His lips. And righteousness shall be the girdle of His loins, and trustworthiness the girdle of His waist. And a wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and a leopard lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and a little child leads them. And cow and bear shall feed, their young ones lie down together, and a lion eat straw like an ox. And the nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, and the weaned child shall put his hand in the adder’s den. They do no evil nor destroy in all My set-apart mountain, for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of יהוה as the waters cover the sea. And in that day there shall be a Root of Yishai, standing as a banner to the people. Unto Him the nations shall seek, and His rest shall be esteem.”

The Branch as the King:

Jeremiah 23:5-6, “See, the days are coming,” declares יהוה, “when I shall raise for Dawiḏ a Branch of righteousness, and a King shall reign and act wisely, and shall do right-ruling and righteousness in the earth. In His days Yehuḏah shall be saved, and Yisra’yl dwell safely. And this is His Name whereby He shall be called: ‘יהוה our Righteousness.”

The Branch as the Servant:

Zechariah 3:8-9, “Now listen, Yahshua the high priest, you and your companions who sit before you, for they are men of symbol. For look, I am bringing forth My Servant the Branch. See the stone which I have put before Yehoshua: on one stone are seven eyes. See, I am engraving its inscription,’ declares יהוה of hosts, ’and I shall remove the guilt of that land in one day.”

In the account of Yahshua written by Mark there is no lineage shown, simply His mission while here on earth, Messiah as the Servant. “I am bringing forth My Servant the Branch”

In Luke 3:23 Yahshua is shown as being the son of Joseph ben Eli, born out of wedlock, showing a percieved shadow of His “illigitamacy” yet He will “build the temple of YHWH.” Messiah as the Son of man. “See, the Man whose name is the Branch”[/FONT]

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

--"There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Netzer (Branch) shall grow out of his roots" (Isaiah 11:1). So he found in the word of scorn the nomen et omen of glory. The town of Nazareth probably took its name from this meaning of the word, as pointing, like our -hurst and -holt, to the trees and shrubs for which it was conspicuous. The general reference to the prophets is explained by the fact that the same thought is expressed in Jeremiah 23:5; Jeremiah 33:15; Zechariah 3:8; Zechariah 6:12, though there the Hebrew word is Zemach, and not Netzer. A like train of thought is found in the language of Tertullian and other early Christian writers to their heathen opponents--"You call us Christians," they say," worshippers of Christos, but you pronounce the words Chrestiani and Chrestos, i.e., you give us a name which in your own language (Greek) means 'good,' and so you unconsciously bear testimony to the life we really lead."

Ive thoroughly enjoyed your study. I have a request...

Revelation 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, andyielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Would you look at leaves in the lexicon please?
