Christ is Prophesied
For the time is coming, says the Lord, when I will place a righteous Branch upon King David’s throne. He shall be a King who shall rule with wisdom and justice and cause righteousness to prevail everywhere throughout the earth. And this is his name: The Lord Our Righteousness.
Jeremiah 23:5-6 Living Bible (TLB)
A man from the royal house of David will sit on Judah’s throne.
He will rule with faithful love.
When he judges he will do what is fair.
He will be quick to do what is right.
Isaiah 16:5 New International Reader’s Version (NIRV)
His righteousness instead of ours, because Heaven decreed that the exchange is worth the cost.
Oh, come, our Wisdom from on high,
Who ordered all things mightily,
To us the path of knowledge show,
And teach us in her ways to go.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to you, O Israel!
