2. In contrast to those on whom vengeance falls, there is a manifestation of Jesus Christ to the "escaped of Israel" in His characteristic attributes, beauty and glory, typified in Aaron's garments ( :- ). Their sanctification is promised as the fruit of their being "written" in the book of life by sovereign love ( Isaiah 4:3 ); the means of it are the "spirit of judgment" and that of "burning" ( Isaiah 4:4 ). Their "defense" by the special presence of Jesus Christ is promised ( Isaiah 4:5 ; Isaiah 4:6 ). branch —the sprout of JEHOVAH. Messiah ( Jeremiah 23:5 ; Jeremiah 33:15 ; Zechariah 3:8 ; Zechariah 6:12 ; Luke 1:78 , Margin ). The parallel clause does not, as MAURER objects, oppose this; for "fruit of the earth" answers to "branch"; He shall not be a dry, but a fruit-bearing branch ( Isaiah 27:6 ; Ezekiel 34:23-27 ). He is "of the earth " in His birth and death, while He is also "of the Lord " ( Jehovah ) ( Ezekiel 34:23-26.34.27- : ). His name, "the Branch," chiefly regards His descent from David, when the family was low and reduced ( Luke 2:4 ; Luke 2:7 ; Luke 2:24 ); a sprout with more than David's glory, springing as from a decayed tree ( Isaiah 11:1 ; Isaiah 53:2 ; Revelation 22:16 ). excellent — ( Hebrews 1:4 ; Hebrews 8:6 ). comely — ( Song of Solomon 5:15 ; Song of Solomon 5:16 ; Ezekiel 16:14 ). escaped of Israel —the elect remnant ( Romans 11:5 ); (1) in the return from Babylon; (2) in the escape from Jerusalem's destruction under Titus; (3) in the still future assault on Jerusalem, and deliverance of "the third part"; events mutually analogous, like concentric circles ( Zechariah 12:2-10 ; Zechariah 13:8 ; Zechariah 13:9 ; Zechariah 14:2 ; Ezekiel 39:23-29 ; Joel 3:1-21 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"
