• The word “branch” is listed in both these groups, and deservedly so:
  • Types and Shadows of Christ
  • Names and Roles of Christ
• Messiah is referred to by the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Zechariah as a/the “Branch.” – Is 4:2; 11:1; Jer 23:5; 33:15; Zech 3:8; 6:12
• See also BSN notes on Aaron’s rod that budded (Num 17).
• Consider also what Jesus did with this metaphor in John 15 when He described Himself as the vine which itself has branches. He was the branch stemming from God; we are branches stemming from Him. This is why He said, “as the Father has sent Me, I also send you” (Jn 20:21)
