Isa. 4. v. 2. In that day shall the branch of the Lord be Beauty and Glory. Targ. § 29 [Greek or Hebrew]; at that time shall the Messiah of the Lord be for Joy and Honour. And this Prophecy also is by the most learned of the Rabbins applied unto the Messiah. Kimchi interprets [Greek or Hebrew], the branch, by that of Jerem. 23. v. 5. I will raise up unto David a Righteous Branch, a King shall reign and prosper. Aben Ezra inclines unto them who would have Hezekiah to be intended; a Christian Expositor refers the words to Ezra and Nehemiah, upon the return from the Captivity, on what grounds he doth not declare. Abarbinel having, as is his manner always, repeated the various Expositions and Opinions of others, adds at last, [Greek or Hebrew]; others expound the words of the Messiah our Righteousness; let him be speedily revealed. But they may also do well to consider, that the Person here promised to be the Beauty and Glory of the Church, by whom the Remnant of Israel, which are written in the Book of Life shall be saved, is the BRANCH of the Lord, and the Fruit of the Earth; which better expresseth his two Natures in one Person, than that he should be for a while a barren Branch, and afterwards bear fruit in the destruction of Gog and Magog, which is their gloss on the words.
