That He will be King

 

6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will perform this.
Yesha`yahu / Isaiah 9:6-7

13 "I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14 There was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Daniyel / Daniel 7:13-14

11 "Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
12 and speak to him, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of Hosts, "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;
13 even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne; and he shall be a priest on his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both."'
Zekharyah / Zechariah 6:11-13

9 "Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion!
Shout, daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your king comes to you!
He is righteous, and having salvation;
Lowly, and riding on a donkey,
Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey...."
Zekharyah / Zechariah 9:9

The term 'the Branch', as used in Zekharyah / Zechariah 6:12 above, is a recognized title for the Messiah in Jewish literature (the Targum, the Jerusalem Talmud, the Pirqé de R. Eliez. c. 48, the Midrashim and more recently in a Hebrew language publication: THE NEW BIBLE DICTIONARY. Dr. Zvi Raday & Prof. Chaim Rabin. Yavneh Publishing House Ltd. and Keter Publishing House, Jerusalem Ltd. - under the entry for Tzemach). Compare also Yesha`yahu / Isaiah 4:2; 11:1-5; Yirmeyahu / Jeremiah 23:5-6; 33:15-16; Zekharyah / Zechariah 3:8.
