The 5 branches.

[WhiteWings]

Mat 2:23 and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.


Nazarene isn't the name of someone who took the nazarite vow. (Jesus broke that vow several times if He had taken it)
Nazarene isn't the name of someone who lives in Nazareth. Of course it's bit related because the town was founded by David's family and the wanted to express the fact they are the bloodline of "the root of Jesse".


Isa 11:1 The royal line of David will be cut off, chopped down like a tree; but from the stump will grow a Shoot—yes, a new Branch* from the old root.
Isa 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, who shall stand as an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his place of rest shall be glorious


Branch is netzer in Hebrew. Netzer is a special type of branch that grows out of the roots of an olive tree that has been cut down. This netzer springs up a little distance from where the original tree stood.
The old roots are obviously the OT laws. The branch is still an olive tree (Law follower) but does things a little different.
In the NT we saw Jesus followed the same law as Judadism tree which was cut down. But His interpretation is at a little distance from the old tree.


Jesus is also called a "tzemach" which is the generic name for branch. That's no contradiction. Isa just gives a little more detail on the type of branch.


King-Branch.
Jer 23:5 "The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land.

Servant-Branch.
Zech 3:8 "'Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.

Son of man-Branch.
Zech 6:12 Tell him this is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Here is the man whose name is the Branch, and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the LORD.

Son of God-Branch.
Isa 4:2 In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel.

Judge-Branch.
Jer 33:15 In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch to spring up for David, and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

[micah7:9]

I like what you wrote.

 :goodpost:

   Jesus  Christ the name and   righteous Branch  whom was a servant and King 

Acts 4 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."

  Romans 3 19 Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God.

20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

The Righteousness of God Through Faith
21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—

22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction:


23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.

26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

27 Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.


29 Or is God the God of Jews only?

Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also


, 30 since God is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.


31 Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.

  I love it that God made sure though faith  in the works of the law and   in Jesus Christ  everyone gets a fair    shake  :HeartThrob:
