And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.
And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him,
The spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The spirit of council and strength,
The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
And he will delight in the fear of the Lord,
And he will not judge by what His eyes see,
Nor make a decision by what His ears hear;
But with righteousness He will judge the poor,
And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth;
And he will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of his lips He will slay the wicked. Also righteousness will be the belt about His loins,
And faithfulness the belt about his waist."
Isaiah 11: 1-5 NASB
This scripture tells of the coming of the Messiah and also indicates that He was from the line of Jesse. Jesus or Yeshua delighted in His Father. It was said that He would be a lawful and fair judge.
I will be sharing more scriptures indicating the coming of Messiah. All scriptures will be from the NASB.
Isaiah 4:2
"In that day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth will be the pride and the adornment of the survivors of Israel."
Notice the capitalization of Branch. Branch of the Lord refers to the Son of God.
Isaiah 9:6-7
"For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
There will be no end to the increase of his government or of peace,
On the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
From then on and forever more.
The zeal of the Lord of host will topless this."
Isaiah 11:10
"Then it will come about in that day
That the nations will resort to the root of Jesse,
Who will stand as a signal for the peoples;
And His resting place will be glorious."
Isaiah 53:2-3
"For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot,
And like a root out of parched ground;
He has no stately form or majesty
That we should look upon Him,
Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.
He was despised and forsaken of men,
A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief;
And like one from whom men hide their face,
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him."
I would suggest reading all of Isaiah 53 as it actually speaks of the crucifixion of Jesus.
Jeremiah 23:5-6
"Behold, the days are coming, "declares the Lord, "When I shall raise up for David a righteous Branch;
And He will reign as king and act wisely
And do justice and righteousness in the land.
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.'"
Now if you go to the Gospel of Matthew 1 you will find the genealogy of Jesus. You will see that He is from the line of Jesse and King David was Jesse's son.
There are many more verses that refer to Jesus too.
See: Psalm 22; Proverbs 8....
Shalom my friends,
