My Servant the Elect
The is the mystery of all mysteries that God is revealing in these final days before his return. The mystery is that “he” is a collective body of people. This opens up statements that didn’t make any sense like “my servant the Branch” “shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.” he…them both?
Zec 3:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.
Zec 3:8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
Isa 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
Isa 11:2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
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.
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.
Zec 6:11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;
Zec 6:12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
Zec 6:13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
My servant
Isa 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
The mystery is that my servant is a body of people operating as “one man” My Servant the Elect.
Isa 41:8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
Isa 41:9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
My servant Israel, the witnesses.
Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Isa 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
Isa 43:12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.

A primitive root; to duplicate or repeat; by implication to protest, testify (as by reiteration); intensively to encompass, restore (as a sort of reduplication): – admonish, charge, earnestly, lift up, protest, call (take) to record, relieve, rob, solemnly, stand upright, testify, give warning, (bear, call to, give, take to) witness.
To duplicate or repeat. This is the 2 witness principle the testimony against the false babylonian system it’s teachers repeated as by reiteration.
This is the dynamic of the 2 witness ministry. Repeating over and over exposing the false teachers, the false Christs
Deu 31:19 Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
Deu 31:20 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.
Deu 31:21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.
Deu 31:22 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.
Rev 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Rev 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
Rev 15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

Greetings and peace to all
Although the ministers of Christ are kings and persists, liken unto Enoch who comes with 10,000 saints, However Zacharias prophecy was fulfilled in Christ 2000 years ago. And no, this is not Preterism I speak of, because it is another Jesuit contrived false belief, as is futurism…(Ribera & Alcazar) invented them both..
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.
Our linage cannot be traced back more than a few hundred years. None of us can be proven to be descendants of David in the flesh by genetics…. However this verse in Jeremiah 23 speaks of a direct flesh descendent of king David which is also spoken of in Mathew 1-1..This means that Christ (the Branch) would genetically come from king David’s seed (a King) capitalized, like the metaphoric term “the Branch”……….The “elect” is always a generic term in the text. The only capitol noun given to NT believers is “Christians”…
Be blessed always, Bill
Hi Bill
Good to hear from you. I’ve really been using the account of the BRANCH in Zechariah a lot lately as it really shows the dynamics of the nature of this mysterious truth.
Zec 6:11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;
Zec 6:12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
Zec 6:13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
We see the 2 aspects of the royal priesthood combining with the Lord himself into one. The collective one. This is describing the marriage supper of the Lamb when the body and the head become one flesh in marriage.
The picture in Jeremiah is the divided kingdom become one under David. The glory of the latter house shall be greater than the former. key word glory.
Everything is still hidden. When the 2 sticks become one in a supernatural way with the picture of the 2 olive trees coiling around each other there will be a change.
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
This is when the coruptible body is changed into imortality. This is the key to understanding the Royal Priesthood BRANCH, It’s the Melchisedek order manifesting.
The glorification of the latter house.
Isa 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
Isa 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
The manifest sons of God
Isa 46:13 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
Isa 49:3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
My servant (singular) O Israel (collective) this is the mystery of the second coming. Israel my son. The glorified latter house of Israel the body of Christ
Glorified, Changed, Manifest, these are key words.
Luk 9:29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
Luk 9:30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
Luk 9:31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
Luk 9:35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
Luk 9:36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
Understand when th4e Father said “this is my beloved Son: hear him” he was talking about Moses, Elijah and Jesus as one man. We to will be one man with them, the overcomers when the 7th trump sounds and the age of Tabernacles manifests. We are transitioning from the age of pentecost (indwelling “earnest” of our inheritance) to tabernacles when the marriage supper, the covenant confirming meal brings forth bride and the bridgroom becoming one flesh.
Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Obviously we are at odds over this Bill this is what has been revealed to me.

Greetings Chris, sorry for the double post, my mistake, wasn’t sure the first one was injected properly……..Much of what you perceive is true. However the NT manifest body of Christ is a continuum ever since the new covenant was established “it is finished”; the way of salvation through reconciliation justifying Gods’ mercy was accomplished. Jesus became the propitiation (mercy seat) for sin (He was manifest in the LAST DAYS to save them from their sin). This also was the finished works that justified the release of the Holy Spirit upon the whole world convicting it of sin, righteousness, and judgement to come, so that our example “Christ our righteousness” might be made manifest through “persuasion and influence” (conviction of the Spirit) to turn to godliness which has appeared to all men, Titus 2:11-14.
The life of Christ has been made real to any that repent and depart from rebellion in a godly sorrow> “sanctify them in thy truth, thy word is thy truth” John 17…Jesus prayed the Father that they should become one with “them” (one with the Father and the Son) in a unified set of principles from a heart purity based on the two greatest commandments (love God, and your neighbour)…These are the manifest children of the kingdom for the last 2000 years who have been grafted into ALL Israel; “ie” the believers by steadfast faithfulness to God…ALL Israel was manifest, IS manifest, and will continue to be manifest up until the last day because Christ was the Lamb slain FROM the foundation of the cursed world “ie” (Gen.3-15).. In such people God reveals Himself to each generation> And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, Jude 1…. Nothing has been revealed today that wasn’t already revealed in Paul and John’s day….The book of Revelation was written DIRECTLY to the first century saints, of which we still benefit from today, as it is still being revealed for generations to come: until who knows when? The Father…Then Christ’s office of redemption shall have come to a close, Cor. 15.
However the metaphoric proper noun, “the Branch”, is the identity of Christ himself….In Romans 5 Paul draws from the OT and tells them that a “root of Jesse” shall reign.. Once again this is genetically speaking, as Jesse is the #32 seed carrier in the linage of Christ (Luke 3). There is no logical reason to use the term “root of Jesse” other than that of genetics in the full context of what is being said by both the OT prophets and the apostle Paul..
..
Romans 15:12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be (((a root of Jesse))), and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of (((the stem of Jesse))), and a Branch shall grow out (((of his roots))):
who’s genetic roots? Jesse’s, Paul confirming the Identifying of the lineage form which Christ would be born of…And of course #33 David shall a son be born….Jesus Christ the son of Abraham and the son of David…This all speaks of the genetic seed line in Luke 3
Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be (((a root of Jesse))), which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
Grace and peace, Bill
This is one point that I wanted to start with. The finished work of Christ. OK so if the work of redemption was finished when Christ uttered his final words, what happened 50 days later? What was the purpose of pentecost if everything was finished? I make that point to show the need for the fall feasts on the prophetic Moedim as well. The fall feasts at the end of the age as the master plan of redemption manifests.
The kingdom will manifest.
As far as the Branch. We must understand the mystery being shown when we read a statement like this
Isa 11:16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
Scripture is clearly talking about the entire nation of Israel and it refers to them as “he”
Another example
Isa 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
This is the mystery that has opened up at the end of the age, the extent of our heritage as we are counted as the Son as one flesh. There has not been a saint that has received the incorrubtible body. The indwelling spirit is only an earnest of the inheritance. No matter how completely a saint has participated in this: your words
The life of Christ has been made real to any that repent and depart from rebellion in a godly sorrow> “sanctify them in thy truth, thy word is thy truth” John 17…Jesus prayed the Father that they should become one with “them” (one with the Father and the Son) in a unified set of principles from a heart purity based on the two greatest commandments (love God, and your neighbour)…
That is only an earnest of the redemption.
Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Eph 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
The only glorification we have seen or at least recorded was Christ after his resurrection and the mount of transfiguration. The latter house will be glorified.
That is the condition the manifest sons will receive at tabernacles the culmination of our redemption. When we see him we will be like him. This hasn’t happened to anyone still in the mortal body.
1Jn_3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
I’m talking about what we shall be.
Chris
Greetings again Chris
We agree on many points,,,,,The finished works of Christ is the establishment of the New Covenant of reconciliation, which is still working today…Christ still enterseeds for His people Romans 8….No disagreement there..I will leave this last message for now further explaining the identity of the Branch, and like you say we will just have to disagree on this matter.
“Out of the stem of Jesse” signifies that the Messiah should be born of the royal house of David. (David was the stem of Jesse) that eventually brought forth the Branch (Christ). The tribe of Judah’s promise Judah was restored in the person of David after the 10 generational restriction placed upon Judah and his tribe because of the incident with Tamar, ( if I remember correctly, not sure).. During that era God worked through His servant Joseph to keep things alive for the Gentiles and the Hebrews.
, Judah with Tamar is the patrilinear ancestor of the stem of the Davidic line. The contrast between the diminished and obscure beginning from a tree that has been reduced to a mere stump after 9 generations with the destiny of Messiah shooting forth is the point of the prophecy. Jesus Christ, was raised up genetically from the stump of Jesse the 9th from Judah, of which out of Judah’s loins Shilo (Peace & Rest) should come in the person of the Messiah Gen.49-10. . HE was borne that lowly manhood which He drew from the cut-down stump of Jesse. However lifted above all things and now sitting at the right hand of God, ruling and reigning over the heavens and earth thenceforth works together with and for His servants. His word (the rod) is the working dynamic through which the power of the Comforter dispenses, and of whom will only testify of that which Jesus did and said…Peace, Bill
.
I recently noticed this statement by Jesus…He says I AM the root and “offspring” of David…the same thing concerning genetics was meant when it speaks of the “root of Jesse” in Isaiah 11-10. This is all a genetic reference…..
Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
Jesus says to those who overcome…he will give the morning star.
Rev 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
Rev 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.Rev
2:28 And I will give him the morning star.
We will become manifest as one body with the Messiah and reign with Him.
