She shall be called The Lord Our Righteousness Because some mistakenly think that Jesus is the Branch rather than the Root or the Vine, allow me to give more scriptural proof that when you see the word, the Branch or even the word Servant in connection with David in prophecy, it is NOT talking about Jesus who is not a servant nor a mere branch but it is talking about King David of the End-Time who is a ‘mere man’. Jesus is the Messiah and along the lineage of David but was fathered by the FATHER and not by Joseph, whereas King David in the End will be along the genealogy of David and Joseph . And it is this David that will lead the Bride of Christ into the wilderness as foretold by almost innumerable prophets and prophesies. So in this case, let’s just take the 33rd Chapter of Jeremiah as more proof, for it distinctly says …… SHE SHALL BE CALLED “THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS” And this is not a typing error, because SHE is referring to us that believe that the Lord is our total righteousness, and it is only us that have no righteousness of our own that shall compose the Bride without spot and without any guile. My comments will be in parenthesis …..(...) JEREMIAH 33 Jer 33:11 The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD. (Yes there will be a LAST GATHERING of those that love the Messiah, and they shall be called the Bride ….Revelations 12, Isa 54:5) Jer 33:12 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. (See Ezek 34: 25 and http://www.prophecymysteries.com/links/P3TheLordFEEDSusintheWilderness.htm ) Jer 33:13 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that telleth them saith the Lord (Yes, we have to pass under the Sheperd’s Rod to enter into the End-Time Encampment of the Lord, http://www.prophecymysteries.com/links/P09SHEPHERDSROD.htm ) Jer 33:14 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of (spiritual not materialistic nationalistic) Israel and to the house of Judah. Jer 33:15 In those days, (in the End-Time) and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. (Ezek 37: 24 and now compare for a minute, the corresponding verses from Jeremiah 23 JEREMIAH 23 Jer 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. (Yes, King David will be our judge and King in the End as promised to King David of old) Jer 23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this [is] his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. (Yes because King David of old and King David in the End-Time have no righteousness only faith in the Lord’s Righteousness, this is why they are men after the Lord’s heart.) Jer 23:7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; (Yes, no more looking backwards but now looking forwards to the 2nd exodus) Jer 23:8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land. (Yes we shall be living in the wilderness before the Lord takes us up and re-settles us in our own land in the Millenium… but wait now, in Jeremiah 23, what we just read it said he and not she, so let’s look back and continue on with Jeremiah 33) ________________________________________________________ Jer 33:16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness. (That’s not a typing error folks, She will be called The Lord our Righteousness, so it can’t be talking about Jesus because He is a he, and not a she. But we who are the Bride of Christ can be called a ‘she’ because the Lord is our Husband and we will obey Him.) Jer 33:17 For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; (Yes, the promises of the Lord to David must be fulfilled by a ‘son of David’, of the tribe of Judah) Jer 33:18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually. (Exactly as our End-Time leadership is composed of a KING and a HIGH PRIEST, these two are our two witnesses of the End-Time rev 11 and Zech 4 etc. etc. See http://www.prophecymysteries.com/links/P08THEREWILLBE2PROPHETS.htm ) Jer 33:19 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying, Jer 33:20 Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; Jer 33:21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. (Again repeating that there must be also a spiritual fulfillment in the tribe of Levi, that will give us a High Priest to minister the TABERNACLE…See Hosea 3:3-5) Jer 33:22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me. (Notice how David is called a servant…Jesus is not the servant of G-d, he was G-d, He was equal with G-d , the Father,…King David of Old and of the End-Time could be called ‘servants of G-d but not Jesus. Jesus acted like a servant but he was NOT a servant and not a Branch, but the ROOT of JESSE, the ROOT of all life because he was the CREATOR of ALL. So in my opinion from all scriptures, The LORD IS OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS should refer to any of us that totally believe we have no righteousness except the Lord’s, for then we shall truly be the Bride of Christ.)
