Is Joshua the Christ

Zec 6:11-13 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set [them] upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest; 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: 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.
Is Joshua the Christ?


if Eli (my god) and Yah (I Am) = Eliyah (my god, I Am),
and Elisha, sha, being Salvation (my god Salvation), then shouldn't
Yahsha interpreted be "I Am Salvation" which according to the King James bible is the meaning of Joshua and Jesus.
Could this be an error based on interpretation?

2Ki 2:11-12 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw [it], and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.

2Ki 13:14 Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.

Mat 27:46-47 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Some of them that stood there, when they heard [that], said, This [man] calleth for Elias[Elijah].
John the baptist as Elijah and Christ, Elisha, the two witnesses of Rev 11:

Rev 11:3-12 And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.


Who was Zerubbabel?
Zec 4:8-14 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel [with] those seven; they [are] the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth. Then answered I, and said unto him, What [are] these two olive trees upon the right [side] of the candlestick and upon the left [side] thereof? And I answered again, and said unto him, What [be these] two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden [oil] out of themselves?
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these [be]? And I said, No, my lord. Then said he, These [are] the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
 
From Adam to John the baptist and many in between were many Christ like figures I believe because the spirit of Christ was upon them all to fulfill all righteousness.

Thanks for your belief, Joe, but only one person is ever called the "Branch". Go figure.

Jesus and Joshua were common names at the time.
What does that have to do with being called "the Branch". Was being called "the Branch" common also? Wow!
 
This was a symbolic crowning, showing Christ who was to come, crowned as Priest and King. And the crowns were to be kept in the temple as a memorial, for Israel's greatest hope.

Prophesy is often symbolized by using a person, or object to point to a future event. In this case Joshua is the symbol of the coming king. By the way Jesus is Greek; for Joshua. :)

The "branch" is no more a name than the door, the word, the way, the truth, or the life! ;) :-)

Says who, you? You obviously don't know the bible, with all due respect.

It might be so but there's only one person that it applies to.

saying, Behold the man whose name [is] The BRANCH;


Joh 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the ........ He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing.
 
Isa 4:2 In that day shall [u]the branch of Jehovah [/u]be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. Joh 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing.
 
Who is the "man" that is the branch?

Mat 24:40 Then shall two men be in the field; Mat 13:38 and the field is the world;

There are only two "men" in the earth. Which one is the Branch ?
 
Jer 33:15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
Jer 33:16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is the name whereby she shall be called: Jehovah our righteousness.

Why is the Branch a "she" here ?
 
Jer 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
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: Jehovah our righteousness.

But now the Branch is a "he" again?

LOL

Any ideas?
 
I wonder if posting consecutively like that could be considered violating the forum rules? Wow! Should I try to answer all these post that probable wouldn't show up when I try to because of what?

Base on your interpretation, it must be you since only we exist.

I'm not too smart but why is it referring to a person if it's a company?

I guess the "she" is referrring to Israel.

The only place Christ is referred to as a "she" that I know of is in Proverbs as wisdom. Your turn.
 
The name Joshua is the same as Jesus in the Hebrew.
It is no coincidence that Joshua (Yeshua) was the one that led the Children of Israel into the Promised Land and also was the first High Priest after the return of the Exile (Zechariah).

God is hinting at something here ;)

God bless.

Two questions, who succeeded him and how do you explain the miracles that Elisha and Eliyah did that no other prophets could?

When I first sat down to read the bible from cover to cover, I noticed a difference in Eliyah and Elisha. Plus, how do you explain the two of them being call the chariot of God and the horsemen thereof?

))))))"GONG"(((((((..... Sorry..... wrong answer :nod

Well, not 100% wrong :) The Branch is the Body of Christ ("he") also referred to as the Bride (she)

Rom 3:21 But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Rom 3:22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction;

So we (all that believe ) have "the righteousness of God " 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: Jehovah our righteousness.

I will keep this one short :yes

Notice Jesus's name is not "Jehovah OUR righteousness" but this is the name of the Branch.
 
I pray thee, o wise and noble one, please enlighten me. I am but a worm, and no man, please tell.
