The man called the "BRANCH"

bless me, and you'll be blessed!





ISAIAH 11: 1-5> " And there shall come forth a rod (shoot) out of the stem (trunk) of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of council and might, the spirit of knowledge and of fear of the Lord. And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his own eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins."
