Footnotes
- Isaiah 4:2 The name branch will be given to the future Messiah because he will be the true Son of David, and from him will spring a new people (Jer 23:5; Zec 3:8; 6:12). The promise will stir and direct the hope of the faithful amid the conflicts and failures of coming centuries. John, the seer of Patmos, will see the new Jerusalem in which the promise will find its complete fulfillment (Rev 21).
