Daniel 12:5-7 - New English Translation (2005)
5. I, Daniel, watched as two others stood there, one on each side of the river. 6. One said to the man clothed in linen who was above the waters of the river, "When will the end of these wondrous events occur?" 7. Then I heard the man clothed in linen who was over the waters of the river as he raised both his right and left hands to the sky and made an oath by the one who lives forever: "It is for a time, times, and half a time. Then, when the power of the one who shatters the holy people has been exhausted, all these things will be finished."

John 1:29-36 - New English Translation (2005)
29. On the next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30. This is the one about whom I said, 'After me comes a man who is greater than I am, because he existed before me.' 31. I did not recognize him, but I came baptizing with water so that he could be revealed to Israel." 32. Then John testified, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven, and it remained on him. 33. And I did not recognize him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining this is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' 34. I have both seen and testified that this man is the Chosen One of God." 35. Again the next day John was standing there with two of his disciples. 36. Gazing at Jesus as he walked by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"

Matthew 3:16-17 - New English Translation (2005)
16. After Jesus was baptized, just as he was coming up out of the water, the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming on him. 17. And a voice from heaven said, "This is my one dear Son; in him I take great delight."

The branch - all teach the branch as Jesus Christ but there is another one - the man-child

Revelation 12:1-2 - New English Translation (2005)
1. Then a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars. 2. She was pregnant and was screaming in labor pains, struggling to give birth.

Why is Revelation in the 12 chapter would we be seeing a woman a sign of a woman giving birth if that birth was Jesus Christ? - it is the spirit woman of the new covenant that allows us to be born again - the woman - She births the 144, 000 of Rev 14

Revelation 14:1-4 - New English Translation (2005)
1. Then I looked, and here was the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him were one hundred and forty-four thousand, who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. 2. I also heard a sound coming out of heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder. Now the sound I heard was like that made by harpists playing their harps, 3. and they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one was able to learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth. 4. These are the ones who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from humanity as first fruits to God and to the Lamb,

redeemed from humanity as first fruits to God and to the Lamb

the man-child comes out of the first fruits

Revelation 12:5-6 - New English Translation (2005)
5. So the woman gave birth to a son, a male child, who is going to rule over all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was suddenly caught up to God and to his throne, 6. and she fled into the wilderness where a place had been prepared for her by God, so she could be taken care of for 1,260 days.

the man-child is birthed and taken to the throne

the woman - she fled into the wilderness a place prepared for her

the spirit and the bride - the 144,000 first fruits

Revelation 22:17 - New English Translation (2005)
17. And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let the one who hears say: "Come!" And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wants it take the water of life free of charge.

The branch

Zechariah 3:1-10 - New English Translation (2005)
1. Next I saw Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, with Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. 2. The LORD said to Satan, "May the LORD rebuke you, Satan! May the LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Isn't this man like a burning stick snatched from the fire?" 3. Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood there before the angel. 4. The angel spoke up to those standing all around, "Remove his filthy clothes." Then he said to Joshua, "I have freely forgiven your iniquity and will dress you in fine clothing." 5. Then I spoke up, "Let a clean turban be put on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the LORD stood nearby. 6. Then the angel of the LORD exhorted Joshua solemnly: 7. "The LORD who rules over all says, 'If you live and work according to my requirements, you will be able to preside over my temple and attend to my courtyards, and I will allow you to come and go among these others who are standing by you. 8. Listen now, Joshua the high priest, both you and your colleagues who are sitting before you, all of you are a symbol that I am about to introduce my servant, the Branch. 9. As for the stone I have set before Joshua on the one stone there are seven eyes. I am about to engrave an inscription on it,' says the LORD who rules over all, 'to the effect that I will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day. 10. In that day,' says the LORD who rules over all, 'everyone will invite his friend to fellowship under his vine and under his fig tree.'"

I have freely forgiven your iniquity and will dress you in fine clothing

Zechariah 6:12-13 - New English Translation (2005)
12. Then say to him, 'The LORD who rules over all says, "Look here is the man whose name is Branch, who will sprout up from his place and build the temple of the LORD. 13. Indeed, he will build the temple of the LORD, and he will be clothed in splendor, sitting as king on his throne. Moreover, there will be a priest with him on his throne and they will see eye to eye on everything.

The Branch will sit as King on his throne

2 primary thrones

The throne of heaven

Revelation 4:2 - New English Translation (2005)
2. Immediately I was in the Spirit, and a throne was standing in heaven with someone seated on it!

The throne of David built at the beginning of the 1000 years

"Look here is the man whose name is Branch, who will sprout up from his place and build the temple of the LORD. 13. Indeed, he will build the temple of the LORD, and he will be clothed in splendor, sitting as king on his throne. Moreover, there will be a priest with him on his throne and they will see eye to eye on everything.

a priest

we will start seeing that this priest is the true High priest

Heb 7:15-28 - New English Translation (2005)
15. And this is even clearer if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek, 16. who has become a priest not by a legal regulation about physical descent but by the power of an indestructible life. 17. For here is the testimony about him: "You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek." 18. On the one hand a former command is set aside because it is weak and useless, 19. for the law made nothing perfect. On the other hand a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God. 20. And since this was not done without a sworn affirmation for the others have become priests without a sworn affirmation, 21. but Jesus did so with a sworn affirmation by the one who said to him, "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, 'You are a priest forever'" 22. accordingly Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant. 23. And the others who became priests were numerous, because death prevented them from continuing in office, 24. but he holds his priesthood permanently since he lives forever. 25. So he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. 26. For it is indeed fitting for us to have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27. He has no need to do every day what those priests do, to offer sacrifices first for their own sins and then for the sins of the people, since he did this in offering himself once for all. 28. For the law appoints as high priests men subject to weakness, but the word of solemn affirmation that came after the law appoints a son made perfect forever.
