THE BRANCH

Now for those of us who are born from above through the Holy Spirit, the fact that Yahushua is true Yisrael's Messiah is indisputable. The historical truth of His death, burial, and physical resurrection from the dead, witnessed by hundreds of our ancient Hebrew Yisraelite fathers, is absolutely infallible. However, what still remains unclear for most of us are the prophecies concerning the House of Davïd, and the Royal Hebrew Yisraelite lineage and family of Christ. 

 

Like most of Hebrew eschatology, this matter has been grossly mishandled by the corporate 'theologians' of Churchianity. And ironically, their miscalculations have been widely accepted by supposed African Americans in general - including the Hebrew Yisraelite-aware - in the absence of a true Hebraic understanding of end-time events.

 

Hear O Yisrael: know and innerstand the end-time revelation that the 'Branch,' by Divine inheritance, holds the Davidic key to the New Exodus - to the deliverance, the repatriation, and the eternal governance of our people, the Kingdom Commonwealth, and the world. Sélah.

 

Now, let us examine a few key passages of scripture that have been said to represent Christ, but actually speak of an anointed son of Davïd yet to come:

​

YermiYahu-Jeremiah 23

 

3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries where I have driven them and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.

 

According to this verse, Jeremiah's prophecy concerns the end-times, when true Yisrael shall be repatriated to her original Promised Land.

 

4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, says YAHUWAH. 5 Behold, the days come, says YAHUWAH, that I will raise unto Davïd a righteous Branch; and a king shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

 

Notice, saints, that the king in question is referred to as a righteous Branch. So, is Christ somehow a subordinate of King Davïd? YAH forbid! In fact, both King Davïd and Yahushua Himself have refuted the false doctrine and assumption that Davïd's LORD (Christ) was conceived as a branch of fallen man (Matt. 22:41-45). Sélah.

​

YeshaYahu-Isaiah 11

​

1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Yishai-Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots: 

 

Now according to this verse, an end-time king shall proceed from the loins of King Davïd, who is the stem, or branch, of his father Yishai. And as we all know, a son comes forth out of his father, just as a branch or stem grows out of a root. And as Abba YAH revealed to Isaiah, this branch will not only come from the seed of Davïd, but he will also grow out of Davïd’s roots. And who is the root of Davïd, the stem of Jesse? Christ! And even as Christ Himself declared, "I am the Root and the Offspring of Davïd."

 

Notice that Yahushua did not say He was the son of Davïd - the Hebrew word 'ben' (son) meaning one who inherits the character, authority and renown of his father. Sélah.

 

Now let us reason together, brethren. Why would the Root of Davïd - Christ - clone Himself as His own son? Surely, that bizarre twisting of scripture could only have originated from the author of confusion. As for the Branch: Again, his flesh proceeds from the loins of Davïd - but his soul and spirit proceed from the Root of Davïd - from the Divine Spirit of Yahushua Himself.

​​​

MattitYahu-Matthew 22

​

Yahushua Himself put it this way:

 

41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Yahushua asked them, 42 saying, "What do you think of Christ? Whose son is He?" They said unto Him, 'The son of Davïd.'" 

​

And this is exactly who most Hebrews, Christians, and Messianics believe "Jesus" to be - the son of Davïd, who was prophesied to come at the end of days. And of course, the whole first-century generation, even including His apostles before His Resurrection, believed that as well. It is for this very reason that the Torah-only Yisraelites of today have not yet received Yahushua as their Messiah. And ironically, it's the same reason the Levitical order refused to receive Him from the beginning... But then who did Christ declare Himself to be? Surely, He has the final word on His own identity...

 

43 He said unto them, "How then does Davïd in Spirit call Him Master, saying, 44 'YAHUWAH said to my Lord, sit on My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool.' 45 If Davïd then called him Lord, how is He his son?"

 

In other words, how can Davïd's son also be Davïd's Master? And why would Davïd call his own son Lord? After all, my brethren, what man among us would ever call his son(s) Lord? So then, who is this son of Davïd? The next verse reveals what will happen to Yahushua's adversaries when we correctly identify him:

 

46 "...and no man was able to answer Him a word; neither did any man from that day forth ask Him any more questions." Sélah. 

​

Now, as we all know, the generation of the Messiah longed for the son of Davïd who would deliver Yisrael from political oppression. But - they wanted Yahushua to deliver Yisrael unto themselves, and not unto YAH. Not because they believed the Master's report, but because they simply wanted to regain national sovereignty. So when the people attempted to forcibly make Him their King, He deferred.

 

Indeed, that was the temptation of Satan to Ha Mashiakh: 'Worship me, and you can establish the Kingdom right now, without having to be crucified.' Without having to die to the flesh. A much easier course of action than the Root of Davïd dying for the sins of Yisrael, so the son of Davïd may inherit the Divine key to deliver the elect of YAH some two-thousand years later... In other words, Satan attempted to execute the grand illusion of gain without pain - the ultimate religious deception, coming from the founding father of lies.

 

Hear, O Yisrael, and innerstand: Yahushua our Messiah resisted and overcame that universal temptation; as well as the subtle twisting of scripture that misrepresents our Heavenly Redeemer as "The Son of Davïd." And so must we.

 

Behold, saints: The Master Teacher Himself remained faithful in the Truth; that in the Royal House of Yisrael, He, and He alone, is the Root of Davïd - the Everlasting Father of the hidden son of Davïd! And He did so unto death; even the death of the cross. And therefore, Abba YAH has highly exalted Him; and has given Him a Name which is above every name, even as it is written.

 

Surely, the hour has come for the Holy Nation to become steadfast and unmovable in this basic kingdom truth. Sélah. 

​

YeshaYahu-Isaiah 42

 

1 Behold my servant whom I uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delights; I have put My Spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. 2 He shall not cry out, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

 

In the above passage, Isaiah prophesies that this servant of YAH "…shall not raise up, nor cry out in the streets." And this obviously cannot be a reference to Messiah Yahushua, since He did just that - as do many of our Hebrew Yisraelite brothers today.

 

3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench; he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. 4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, until he has set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

 

And the deeply hidden truth is that this prophecy of the coming Branch has yet to be fulfilled...​

​

2 Sh'muel-Samuel 7

 

12 And when your days be fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, which shall proceed out of your bowels, and I will establish his Kingdom.

 

Clearly, this verse speaks of the same son of Davïd the prophets foresaw. The one whom traditional Christians and most among the Hebrew-aware believe is Yahushua Ha Mashiakh - Christ. But consider what Abba YAH Himself went on to say concerning Davïd's son:

 

13 He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his Kingdom forever. 14 I will be his Father, and he shall be My son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: 15 But My mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Sha'ul, whom I put away from before you.

 

Obviously, this prophecy is in no wise referring to Shelomo Ha Melekh (King Solomon), who built temples not only for YAHUWAH, but for Ashtaroth and other pagan deities, which caused his own line to be cursed, and eliminated from ruling in Yisrael forever. As for this prophecy being about Yahushua: the foreknowledge of YAH would not allow even for  a suggestion that our Messiah might sin, and thereby abort His Divine mission. Sélah. 

 

Now consider who these many unmistakable prophecies of the son of Davïd are not referring to:

 

• King Yahushua - for He was without sin.

• King Davïd - for he was disallowed even from building the physical house.

• King Solomon - for he was called to build the physical house only.

 

Surely, the Messianic end-time prophecies cited refer to the son of Davïd who is yet to come - the anointed one associated with the final wave offering of the New Exodus; when the Kingdom of Yisrael shall truly be free; as the eternal living Temple, highly exalted above all nations!

 

Now as you know, brethren, there remains much controversy among the Hebrew-aware at-large over the doctrine of reincarnation. And much if not most of this confusion also stems from the prophecies concerning the son of Davïd in the end-times. For example:

 

YermiYahu-Jeremiah 30

 

7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Ya'aqob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. 8 For it shall come to pass in that day, says YAHUWAH of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: 9 But they shall serve YAHUWAH their GOD, and Davïd their king whom I will raise up unto them.

 

Beloved family, when taken in proper context, and in light of all the references to the rule of Davïd in the latter days, none of the relevant passages of scripture actually refer to King Davïd himself! Therefore, neither will a reincarnated King Davïd rule over the Kingdom to come.

 

Hoshea-Hosea 3:4-5

 

4 For the children of Yisrael shall abide many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without ephod or teraphim. 5 Afterward, the children of Yisrael shall return and seek YAHUWAH their GOD, and Davïd their king. They shall fear YAHUWAH and His goodness in the latter days.

 

Finally, brethren, this passage from Hoshea concerning the sojourn and ultimate destiny of the ten northern tribes [Yisrael-Ephraim] is an undeniable reference - not to Christ, but to "Davïd their King." And again, King Davïd himself was forbidden by Abba YAH even from building the physical temple, much less the spiritual temple made up of the redeemed of Yisrael in Christ! As it is written, "You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to YAH through Yahushua Ha Mashiakh" (1 Kefa-Peter 2:5). Therefore, the above passage also indicates that Hoshea’s prophecy is referring to a chosen and elect descendant of Davïd. Plain and simple.

 

Hear O Yisrael, and understand: The prophetic references cited in this message and beyond, clearly speak not of Christ, the Root of Davïd, but a son of Davïd; one who will be sought out and appointed by Yisrael as one head - the Branch - even as the prophet Hoshea clearly describes; and as the complete record of Hebrew eschatology undoubtedly affirms. Even so, Ahmen.

 

May the Grace, Mercy, and Shal'm of Abba YAH be with you all. Echad!

 

IT'S KINGDOM TIME.
