2 Kings 6:1-7; Zech 3:8-10; Isa 11:1-5, 53:2; Jer 23:5-6; Luke 2:25-32; Acts 13:21-23; Matt 14:25-31; Luke 24:25-27; John 15:5

Branch made the ax head float
Restored to use, so take note
Elisha's branch points to Him
Branch, the metonymic prelim

A limb grew out of Jesse's root
Beginning as a tender shoot
The shepherd boy became a king
An Ideal Savior - his offspring

David's line in disarray
Branch is born Christmas Day
The Davidic promise found in Him
To save His people from their sin

Repulsive to the natural man
Branch fulfills His Father's plan
Peter and Branch walking on the sea
Reveals the metonymic finale

Raised from the dead to return as King
Branch will accomplish everything
Universal and immensely overwhelming
"Yahweh our righteousness" is coming

Look to Branch in faith to restore
Spiritual refinement and so much more
Cleansed from sin and serving Him
We will share His metonym:
"I am the vine, you are the branches..."

There is no question that Jesus is the Son of God, the 'Branch' which Isaiah prophesied of! Now, through faith, we are His Branches as we await the return of our One and Only King. Amen and amen. Love, Blessings and Faith...
