Isaiah 4 “The Branch”

“In that day the Branch of the LORD shall be beautiful and glorious; And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing for those of Israel who have escaped.” (v.2)

The “day” referred to here in Isaiah’s prophecy is, the time of Jehovah’s judgments. The “Branch of the LORD,” or the growth of the LORD, is the first reference to a personal Messiah, the Christ, the Son of God. He will come as the ornament and glory of His people. The “fruit of the earth” (Jesus – through death, burial, and resurrection), shall be excellent and desired by those who survived (the remnant) the great day, and become citizens of the restored Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

I pray that the eyes of many will be opened before the time of Jehovah's judgment. For He is a great and might God in whom their is no darkness, with whom sin has no quarter, justice and righteousness are with Him, and He will execute them with no partiality or mercy in that day.  

The Truth: “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “When I will raise up for David a righteous Branch; And He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land. And in His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely; and this is His name by which He will be called, ‘The LORD our righteousness.’ (Jeremiah 23:5-6)
