The Promised Messianic Branch
A strong consensus among commentators (Barnes, Ellicott, Gill, Henry) identifies 'the branch of the Lord' as a direct prophecy of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. This title, also used by Jeremiah and Zechariah, signifies that the Messiah would spring up from the decayed royal line of David, like a new shoot from a fallen tree. His coming would bring beauty and glory after a period of judgment and desolation.
