• Zechariah 6:12
Tell him this is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘Here is the man whose title is the (Branch / Vine,) and he will (branch / sprout) out from his place and build the temple of the LORD.

• John 15:1
“I am the true Vine, and my Father is the gardener.

• John 15:2
He cuts off every Branch in me that bears no fruit, while every Branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.

• John 15:4
Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No Branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the Vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

• John 15:5
“I am the Vine; you are the Branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

• Romans 11:17
If some of the Branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root,

• Romans 11:18
do not consider yourself to be superior to those other Branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.

• Romans 11:19
You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”

• Romans 11:21
For if God did not spare the natural Branches, he will not spare you either.

• Romans 11:24
After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural Branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

The Root of Christianity is Judaism. Before people were called Christians, the were called converts to Judaism.

Zechariah 3:2

Zechariah 3:2
3 Then he showed me the high priest of Yahshua standing before the messenger of Yahwah, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him. 2 Yahwah said to Satan, “Yahwah rebukes you, Satan! Yahwah, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke, you! Is not this man a burning stick / branch snatched from the fire?”


3 Now he was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the messenger. 4 The messenger said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.”

Then he said to him, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.”


5 Then I said, “Put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the messenger of Yahwah stood by.


6 The messenger of Yahwah gave this charge to him: 7 “This is what Yahwah Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.


8 “‘Listen, High Priest of Yahshua, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch. 9 See, the stone (cornerstone / capstone) I have set in front for Yahshua! There are seven eyes on that one stone, and I will engrave an inscription on it,’ says Yahwah Almighty, ‘and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day.


10 “‘In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree,’ declares Yahwah Almighty.”


Set in front for Yahshua!

Set in front of Old Testament scriptures for Yahshua's coming.
  • Psalm 118:22
    The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;

  • So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic.

  • Jeremiah 51:26
    No rock will be taken from you for a cornerstone, nor any stone for a foundation, for you will be desolate forever,” declares the Lord.
 
The Branch of Yahweh isn’t Yahweh. The Branch of Yahweh is Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested (or accredited) by God (Acts 2:22).
 
I love all the tree metaphors... a branch, the root, a stump, the seed, the fruit..... these things create associations and are given to us precisely for that purpose. It all goes right back to 'the beginning' in the garden of God.

Not necessarily an IDOL, but overlooked in much of Christendom is Agency. Many Beings do things through other Beings. God sent Joshua to conquer and communicate through the prophets. King Saul sent David to Conquer. Jesus sent the Apostles out 2 by 2. The tree metaphors, the associations are about Agency. This is why action of one is often said accomplished "through" another.

We are agents of Jesus and he is an agent - lamb, priest, Apostle, prophet - of God.
