Jeremiah 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.
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.
Fullfilment
23. And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age,

which was [the son] of Menan, which was [the son] of Mattatha, which

of David,
(also see Matt.1:1; 9:27; 15:22; 20:30,31;
21:9,15; 22:41-46; Mark 9:10; 10:47-48; Luke 18:38, 39; Acts 13:22,
23; Rev 22:16.)
The idea that Messiah would be from the House of David is found in many
Jewish sources:
Targum Jonathan
Rabbi Joseph Albo (lived in Spain, died in 1444 )
"The Scripture calleth the name of the Messiah 'Jehovah Zidkenu,'
because He is the Mediator through whom we shall get the righteousness
of
the Lord."
Rabbi David Kimchi:
"The name of the Messiah is therefore called 'Jehovah Zidkenu,'
because
in His days will the righteousness of the Lord be a continual support
for
us."
Jesse had a least eight sons, but God eliminates all of them except
one ,
David, as being the line of the Messiah.
This decendant of David is given the very name of God, Adonai Tzidkenu
,
which means The Lord our righteousness. This name can only apply to
God
himself, and so we see that the Messiah would be a man yet fully God
himself.
