Messianic Texts in the Prophets:
Zechariah 6:9-15 (Postexilic)
Branch
צֶ֤מַח (tzemach)
Priest Upon His Throne
כֹהֵן֙ עַל־כִּסְא֔וֹ (kohēn ⁽al kis⁾ō)
“The word of the LORD also came to me, saying,
‘Take an offering from the exiles,
from Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah;
and you go the same day
and enter the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah,
where they have arrived from Babylon.
Take silver and gold,
make an ornate crown and set it on the head
of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
Then say to him,
‘Thus says the LORD of hosts,
“Behold, a man whose name is
Branch,
for He will branch out from where He is;
and He will build the temple of the LORD.
Yes, it is He who will build the temple of the LORD,
and He who will bear the honor
and sit and rule on His throne.
Thus, He will be
a priest on His throne,
and the counsel of peace will be between the two offices.”’
Now the crown will become a reminder
in the temple of the LORD
to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah and Hen the son of Zephaniah.
‘Those who are far off will come and build the temple of the LORD.’
Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.
And it will take place if you completely obey the LORD your God”
(Zech. 6:9-15).

“Your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me forever; your throne shall be established forever” (2Sam. 7:16, Davidic Covenant [unconditional, everlasting]).
“The LORD says to my Lord: ‘Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet’” (Psa. 110:1).
“The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind, ‘You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek’” (Psa. 110:4).
“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” (Isa. 4:2)
“Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit” (Isa. 11:1).
“‘Behold, the days are coming,’ declares the LORD, ‘When I will raise up for David a righteous Branch; and He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land’” (Jer. 23:5).
“In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch of David to spring forth; and He shall execute justice and righteousness on the earth” (Jer. 33:15).
“Having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit” (Eph. 2:20-22).
“Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession; He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house. For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house. For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house — whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end” (Heb. 3:1-6).
“For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a tribe with reference to which Moses spoke nothing concerning priests. And this is clearer still, if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek, who has become such not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life. For it is attested of Him, ‘YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.’ For, on the one hand, there is a setting aside of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness (for the Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. And inasmuch as it was not without an oath (for they indeed became priests without an oath, but He with an oath through the One who said to Him, ‘THE LORD HAS SWORN AND WILL NOT CHANGE HIS MIND, “YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER”’); so much the more also Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant” (Heb. 7:14-22).
“You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ” (1Pet. 2:5).
