Tzemach – generic Hebrew word for vegetative plant; sprout, spring up; spring or shine forth, like the sunrise; posterity

Is 4:2; Jer 23:5; 33:15; Zech 3:8; 6:12; Ps 132:17 – future ruler Priest-King (the “Branch”; better translated the “Plant”)

The Branch is actually the whole Plant (Tzemach), and is described as being the Man who is YHVH; as being the son of David who is YHVH; as being the Righteous Judge and King; as being YHVH God’s Servant; as being the Man.  (These descriptions of Messiah being King, Servant, Man, and God are also seen in the cherubim described by Ezekiel; in the four living beings (creatures) described by John in the Revelation; and in the specific focus of each of the four gospel accounts.)

Is 44:4 – posterity

Is the focus of our faith and life Israel? . . .the Church? . . . or Yeshua?
