Bible Question (short): I don't understand how we can interpret |
Question (full): Ray, thanks. I agree with you about (Rod) and (He). I am convinced that Isaiah is prophesying about Jesus the Messiah. I don't understand how we can interpret that (branch) is (Nazarene). It almost seems like biblical scholars came up with this reference verse to make something fit when they could not find a direct match. God Bless. Jim |
