Branch of Zion.

[John D. Brey]

In light of context and exegesis, Isaiah 1:8 should more accurately be read:

ונותרה בת–ציון כסכה בכרם כמלונה במקשה בעיר נצורה​

​

And the Branch of Zion is left as a sukkah in a garden, God's own priapic Branch hidden amongst a vast field of idol replicas forged of wood; he’s the place of refuge עיר, Nazareth (for the Nazarenes).​

Justification for rendering "בת" "Branch" rather than "daughter" comes not only from the fact that the verse is clearly speaking of a "branch" and or "branches," but from Cross referencing the verse with verses throughout the Tanakh that support the idea of an important, seminal, Branch, being directly related to Zion. Case in point, Psalm 80:14-15:

Look down from heaven and see and visit this vine, and the graft your right hand planted, the branch בן whom you've made strong for yourself.​

The JPS translates "stem" instead of "branch." And since there's a preexisting vine, it makes sense that the "branch" is a "stem" being grafted onto the existing vine. The Hebrew consonants "בן" are generally interpreted and translated "son," such that the contextual relationship between a "branch" and "son" becomes problematic for Jewish sensibilities when we get to verse 17:

But let your hand be on the man of your right hand, the son of man whom you've made strong for yourself.​

The verse above is so problematic for Jewish sensibilities that the JPS leaves part of the verse completely out of its translation. The JPS translation ignores the Hebrew phrase translated "the son of man" בן אדם knowing full well the problem that designation presents for a Branch, or son, God's right hand, undeniably related to a Nazar or Nazarene: a Nazarene who's the "son of man" בן אדם (the right hand of Daniel's ancient of days). The Jewish exegetes know better than most what it means to think of God's son as a both a "Branch" (nazar or Nazarene) as well as the "son of man":

I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.​

​

Daniel 7:13.​

​

And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God? Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said it right: nevertheless I'll add to what you've said [I'll complete the verse for you], hereafter shall you see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of heaven.​

Matthew 26:63-64.​

The verbiage found in Psalms 80:15-17 reveals an important nuance that threatens to further unveil the personage at the right hand of the Father when it's noted that the Hebrew consonants "בן" speak of a "son" and or a "branch." This is the case since it can then be read as the "branch of adam" בן אדם rather than just the "son of man." The "branch of adam" has serious connotations. And that's particularly true in the context of Psalms 80:15-16 since the verses speak of a "vine" (Israel) and a "branch of adam (i.e., a branch from the first human)" grafted on to the pre-existing vine (Israel).

The importance of this reading is based on the difference between a "branch" or "son" who's part and parcel of the natural vine, the sexually proliferating vine (Israel), versus a son purportedly come from the first human, or who was supposed to come from the first human, prior to the sexual form of proliferation which didn't even exist yet. Not only does the context of Psalms 80:15-17 imply that the "son of adam" is "grafted" onto the vine of Israel (rather than coming from the vine like all the rest, i.e., sexual proliferation), but it's this being grafted on by the hand of God that makes this particular "son of adam" or "branch of adam" the one who's particularly strong (messianic) such that he's literally related to the right hand of God.

This newly revealed "son of adam" is the son of God who was slated to be born prior to Genesis 2:21 where, Genesis 2:21, the human, ha-adam, became sexualized precisely at the point when his flesh was cloned and the place where the cloning material was taken was closed-up סגר to form the newfangled male-organ through which all but the purported original son or branch subsequently come (so to say). The faux-firstborn is conceived through sexual pedigree, i.e., that paragon of fidelity Cain. Cain is the purported firstborn of the human who's actually (Cain is) the second-born whose conception and birth abort the the true firstborn causing him to become a lithopedion represented by the testimonial stones later quarried by Cain's angelic father who's the analogue of the newfangled flesh created in his image (Genesis 2:21).

The generally accepted interpretation of Psalm 80:15-17 fails to distinguish between the vine and the stupendous Branch grafted onto the vine. Verse 1 speaks of "You who are enthroned upon the cherubim." This is Moses' rod, Nehushtan, the Branch of the Lord, placed between the cherubim on the ark of the covenant, the Branch of the Lord spoken of in Isaiah 63:11-14:

Then his people recalled the days of old, the days of Moses and his people --where is he who brought them through the sea, with the shepherd rod of his flock? Where is he who set his Holy Spirit among them, who sent his glorious arm of power to be at Moses right hand, who divided the waters before them, to gain for himself everlasting renown, who led them through the depths?​

The prophet is speaking not of Moses but the shepherd rod in his right hand: the Branch of the Lord who performed all the miracles during the Exodus; the serpent rod that turned water to blood, parted the sea, closed it on the Egyptians, purified the water for Israel to drink, struck the rock, healed the snake-bites, etc., etc.. Israel is the vine and Moses' rod (later to become Nehushtan when the molten-god overlays the Branch ---Exodus 23:20-22) is the Branch which in verse 15 is said to be grafted on to the vine. Verse 8 points out that God brought a vine (Israel) out of Egypt and expelled the heathen to plant it. Subsequent verses note that God breaks down the hedges protecting the vine, "so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her" (verse 12).

Verse 14 implores God to look down from heaven and visit this vine. Then verse 15 says that in addition to visiting the vine, God should visit the "plant" (a different word than the one used for the vine) which "thy right hand planted, the branch made strong for God's own sake."

The Masoretic Text, that is the Jewish interpretation, doesn't seek to distinguish between the vine and the Branch. It doesn't acknowledge the Branch of the Lord, Moses' rod, as being distinct from the vine that is Israel, such that it ignores the concept of this Branch of the Lord being removed from God's bosom to be grafted onto the vine.

Unfortunately this Jewish prejudice, should serious exegesis occurs, runs smack into verse 17, which can't seriously be read to be speaking of anyone or thing other than the "Branch" made exceptionally strong in verse 15. Exegeted with some modicum of fidelity, Psalms 80:14-17 is requesting that God look from heaven and send the "son of man" whom he's made strong for his own purposes so that Israel might be saved as noted in the final verse 19.

Let thy hand be upon the man who is thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou made strong for thyself.​

Psalms 80:17.​

​

I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.​

Daniel 7:13.​

​

I will die, and I will live [again]; I'm wounded [Isaiah 53:10], and I will be healed [Isaiah 53:11]. But none can be delivered out of my hand [now]. For God lifted [me], his right hand [from the grave, Psalms 9:13] to heaven above, so [now] I can proclaim “I live forever.”

Deuteronomy 32:39-40.​

Amazing work as usual @John D. Brey .

Through the lens of Biology, I see 'Grafting' as synonymous with Gene Splicing and the 'Word of God' as synonymous with Nitrogenous Bases.

Nitrogen is the seventh Element. The 'Hand of God' is where the 'Word' is located...

Ezekiel 2:9
"And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein"

Here it is in the Book of Revelation...

Revelation 5:1
"And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals."

The Word (Nucleobases) was made flesh.

The Right Hand is interesting in that we all have fingerprints and palmprints that identify who we are. In other words, the Right Hand somehow reflects One's identity.

 

[Yokefellow]

Verse 1 speaks of "You who are enthroned upon the cherubim."

I love this kind of research. Check this out...

If we compare the Tabernacle in the Wilderness to a Eukaryotic Cell, we discover that the Most Holy Place matches with the 'Nucleus' of the Cell...

​

Inside the Nucleus (Most Holy Place) is the Nucleolus, otherwise known as the Ark of the Covenant...

The Cherubim would therefore be representative of DNA or more specifically, two Nitrogen Bases that are mated to each other. Inside the Ark are the various building blocks of DNA.

In the more permanent Temples, there are two more Cherubim of Olive Tree...

1 Kings 6:23
"And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high."

Those would be representative of Chromatids...

Psalms 52:8
"But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever."

Two Chromatids (Two Green Olive Trees) make a Chromosome...

Zechariah 4:11
"Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?"

Through these concepts, God was attempting to teach the Israelites how to heal the corruption in Earth's Genetics that causes death.

Your research is doing an excellent job of showing the 'fine print' of how it all relates.

Cain is the purported firstborn of the human who's actually (Cain is) the second-born whose conception and birth abort the the true firstborn causing him to become a lithopedion represented by the testimonial stones later quarried by Cain's angelic father who's the analogue of the newfangled flesh created in his image (Genesis 2:21).

Lithopedion. Wow, I learned a new word today...

A lithopedion, or stone baby, is a rare phenomenon which occurs most commonly when a fetus dies during an abdominal pregnancy, is too large to be reabsorbed by the body, and calcifies on the outside as part of a foreign body reaction, shielding the mother's body from the dead tissue of the fetus and preventing infection.

Lithopedion - Wikipedia

Note that the word 'Rock' is often a euphemism for Male Seed. In the following verse, it is Abraham's Seed...

Isaiah 51:1-2
"Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him."

Here we see 'Stones' representing a Male Organ...

Leviticus 21:20 (KJV)
"Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;"

Leviticus 21:20 (New Living Translation)
"or is hunchbacked or dwarfed, or has a defective eye, or skin sores or scabs, or damaged testicles."

Interestingly, Isaiah 51:1-2 also teaches that the 'Pit' is a euphemism for the Womb.

Here we see a 'Branch' goes back to the Womb or 'Sides of the Pit'...

Isaiah 14:15
"Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."

Isaiah 14:19
"But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet."

Personally, I interpret the above as reincarnation. It is describing a cycle of death and rebirth for the wicked one. The 'Stones of the Pit' is synonymous with conception in the Womb. 'Sword' is DNA. 'Raiment' is a new body. 'Trodden under feet' is symbolic of Genesis 3:15 which has to do with the Mercy Seat and the Footstool of God.

The Beast 'was, is not, and shall ascend' out of the 'Pit' (out of the Womb).

Alchemists used to 'encode' the euphemisms in their artwork...

Your signature @John D. Brey reminds me of Crowley's Tarot Card...

​

The Devil is the Phallus. The Unsaved are in the 'Stones' at the bottom called 'Outer Darkness'. They are waiting to be 'cast' into Tophet, representing Vesta and the moment of conception...

​

"The myths depicting Vesta and her priestesses were few; the most notable of them were tales of miraculous impregnation of a virgin priestess by a phallus appearing in the flames of the sacred hearth — the manifestation of the goddess combined with a male supernatural being."

Vesta (mythology) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Tophet is the Hearth of the Womb where the Abominable Branches are cast to be reincarnated...

Psalms 139:15
"My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth."

One more for tonight...

Mountains in the Bible often represent the Male Phallus or Male Generative Principle. Moses went up Mount Sinai to retrieve the 'Seed'...

Mount Zion is representative of Abraham's 'Organ' and the 'Branch' is the Seed that flows from it. The Nations will 'flow' into New Jerusalem (Sarah)...

Micah 4:1
"But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it."

The semen 'flows' from the 'Rock'...

Isaiah 48:21
"And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out."

More euphemism...

Strong's Hebrew: 4325. מָ֫יִם (mayim) -- waters, water

In a similar vain, Schwaller de Lubicz did some amazing work showing that the design of the temple is anthropomorphic. There's clearly an underlying design element that connects all the dots at some level of abstraction or contemplation.

This is all good stuff. As I noted in another thread, we live in a time when all this information is at our fingertips instantaneously. We're the first generation who, because of the computer, Internet, Bible software, etc., etc., should be able to unveil aspects of the Bible that have been guarded/hidden for good and for ill since the very beginning.

Imagine what Luther or Rashi could have done with computer software and the Internet. It makes one think of the verse in Daniel where God says in the end days knowledge will increase exponentially. We seem to be in, or nearing, that day.
