- "Of the increaseª of [his] governmentª and peaceª [there shall be] no¹ end,ª upon¹ the throneª of David,ª and upon¹ his kingdom,ª to orderª° it, and to establishª° it with judgmentª and with justiceª from henceforth¹¹ even for² ever.ª¹ The zealª of the LORDª of hostsª will performª° this.¹" {Isa 9:7} + "Who¹ hath believedª° our report?ª and to¹ whom¹ is the armª of the LORDª revealed?ª° ... For he shall grow upª° beforeª him as a tender plant,ª and as a rootª out of a dryª ground:ª¹ he hath no¹ formª nor¹ comeliness;ª and when we shall seeª° him, [there is] no¹ beautyª that we should desireª° him." {Isa 53:1-2} + "Thou sawestªª°° tillª that¹ a stoneª was cut outª° withoutª¹ hands,ª which smoteª° the imageª uponª his feetª [that were] of¹ ironª and clay,ª and brake²° them² to pieces.ª°¹ ... Thenª was the iron,ª the clay,ª the brass,ª the silver,ª and the gold,ª broken to piecesª°²° together,ª and becameª° like the chaffª ofª the summerª threshingfloors;ª and the windª carried²° them² away,ª°¹ that² noª¹ placeª was foundª° for them: and the stoneª that¹ smoteª° the imageª becameª° a greatª mountain,ª and filledª° the wholeª earth.ª" {Dan 2:34-35} + "And in the daysª of¹ theseª kingsª shall the Godª of heavenª set upª° a kingdom,ª which¹ shall neverªª be destroyed:ª° and the kingdomª shall notª be leftª° to otherª people,ª [but] it shall break in piecesª° and consumeª° allª theseª kingdoms,ª and itª shall standª° for ever.ª ... Forasmuch asªª¹ thou sawestª° that¹ the stoneª was cut outª° of the mountainª¹ withoutª¹ hands,ª and that it brake in piecesª° the iron,ª the brass,ª the clay,ª the silver,ª and the gold;ª the greatª Godª hath made knownª° to the kingª whatª¹ shall come to passª° hereafter:ªª and the dreamª [is] certain,ª and the interpretationª thereof sure.ª°" {Dan 2:44-45} + "And speakª° unto¹ him, saying,ª° Thus¹ speakethª° the LORDª of hosts,ª saying,ª° Behold¹ the manª whose nameª [is] The BRANCH;ª and he shall grow upª° out of his place,¹¹ and he shall buildª°¹ the templeª of the LORD:ª ...
