“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.”
The prophecy of a righteous branch from David's line who will reign as king and do justice and righteousness announces the coming of the Messiah. The specific language of a branch growing up echoes messianic prophecies (Isaiah 11:1). The king's reign will be characterized by justice and righteousness, qualities lacking in current leadership. The future king will establish the covenant relationship on true foundations.
