II Names Of God

25.

Branch Semah ( Tseh’-makh)Zechariah 3:8 “Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, And thy fellows that sit before thee: For they are men wondered at: For, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.”

Branch Semah ( Tseh’-makh) it means to sprout and bring forth and bud to grow again and is a term used to describe Jesus.

The subscription in most Christian Bibles is Christ the Branch is Promised.

The term Branch was used by Isaiah 4:2 “In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely For them that are escaped of Israel.”

The term Branch was also used by Zechariah right after the Babylonian Captivity period.

And being fresh in the hearts and minds of the Israelites God sent the prophet to fortell of the coming of the Branch Jesus the Christ The Branch Semah (tseh-makh) Christ the Promised King.

In that day the Branch will be beautiful and glorious and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel.

The branch is described as coming from the stump of Jesse.

Jesse was David’s daddy and David brought in the blood line of Jesus that’s why scripture said a root out of dry ground.

Jesus comes from the line and lineage of David and furthermore From his roots a Branch will bear fruit.

The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him Isaiah 11:1-2 “And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and might, The spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;”

The Branch Semah represents the Spirit of the true and living God in the personality of Jesus The Christ .

The promised King.

Father God in thee name of the Branch Jesus the Christ we want too say thank you because you said that whosoever is connect to the True Vine is connect to God and will have eternal Life through the Branch Semah thank you Lord Jesus for providing a way for my salvation.

Amen.

26.

Bread Of Life John 6:35 “And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.”

Bread Of Life - Artos Zoes

To get right started Bread in the Greek vernacular is the word Artos .

Artos in this text refers to Jesus as God in that it refers to the Head of the Household beginning His meal with thanksgiving and therefore; becoming the symbolic expression that was ultimately used by Jesus to describe Himself at the Last Supper.

Artos Jesus Artos Bread.

Then #2.

Of Life in the Greek vernacular is the word Zoes.

Zoes is Christ speaking of being Life not just speaking of having Life, not just as a creature but as the Creator or Giver Of Life therefore being The Bread Of Life.

When we break Bread with someone it usually means sharing a simple meal together.

Most likely this occasion means that we have begun a relationship based on trust with one another.

That’s why a man always ask a woman out to dinner, because it’s intimate and endearing.

And The Bread of Life Jesus Christ asks us out to dinner because He wants an intimate agape relationship with mankind.

The Artos Zoes The Bread of Life.

Let me point out for our hearing that In doing the names of God, when I clearly say Jesus is Bread in a starving land, I mean it.And when the storm was over and all of our food had spoiled despite our best efforts, and the Lord Jesus put it on the hearts and minds of certain folk of the membership of the Shiloh MBC Port Allen to make sure that the Allen Family had Bread to eat , then I knew that Artos Zoes was fully at work that The Bread Of Life was on display that Jesus is Bread in a starving land was in full action.Activated to personally come and see about me.

And so Jesus will be Artos Zoes the Bread of Life for His believers.

Listen to me real good, if you truly believe what you teach and preach then God will reach into your life and make it show it up, so that God can show out and show off on your behalf.

well I’m out of time but remember The Bread Of Life Artos Zoes

Let’s pray Father thank you for being the Bread of Life The Artos Zoes.

Thank you for providing everything that I need in life and even in eternal life.

27.

Bridegroom Matthew 9:15 “And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them?

but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.”

Bridegroom is a special term it’s a special name of God because even in the book of revelation Christ is spoken of as the Bridegroom that is coming back for His church.

A church without spot or wrinkle.

In Revelation 19:6-10 “And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.

And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

And I fell at his feet to worship him.

And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

This prophecy is real and one day every living person has an opportunity to participate in the great marriage supper of the Lamb and Jesus is the Lamb.

Jesus is the Bridegroom.

and all of us married or single will meet our Bridegroom, Jesus.

Revelation 19:6-10 tell us of the great ceremony.

I want to be a part of that celebration, that great ceremony.

In the Greek vernacular the word Bridegroom is Numphonos.

Numphonos is described as the relationship of Jesus Christ with His Church.

The Church belongs to Jesus .

jesus told Peter Upon this Rock I build my Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

In this great love story we must remember that God designed this plan of salvation for mankind.

Because the bible says that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting Life.

In eternity pass Jesus was already the Bridegroom.The Numphonos.

In eternity pass there has already been great anticipation for the marriage supper of the Lamb.

That the talk of the town in Heaven.

We talk about the weddings of the century down here on planet earth but heaven has been planning this wedding since before the beginning ever began.

Isaiah 62:5 “For as a young man marrieth a virgin, So shall thy sons marry thee: And as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, So shall thy God rejoice over thee.”

Let’s rejoice over the Bridegroom over the Numphonos.

In New Testament history there is a metaphor for the church and this is how it goes “Christ is pictured as the husband and the church as His bride.

Let me back it up in 2 Corinthians 11:2 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Paul teaches the church at Corinth that he trying to present Christ a perfect virgin church that has not been defiled by sin.

The Bridegroom or the Numphonos is quintessential to the fate of the Christian Church.

In other words without the Bridegroom there is no need for a bride.

Without Jesus there is no Salvation.

For the bible says that there is no other name under the heavens whereby men must be saved but the name of Jesus.

The name of the Bridegroom the name of Numphonos.

Wow that’s powerful because there is further proof of this turn with me to Matthew 25:1-13 “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

…”

The Holy Bible: King James Version.

This parable is a vivid example of the Bridegroom coming back for a prepared people a prepared church a church positioned to go back with the Bridegroom the Numphonos.

Too many people want to play around like they have time.

and act like the Lord will delay His coming just because we are doing wrong things, just because we are unprepared, just because we are doing the status quo like everybody else is doing.

And the hint of caution in the text is that Jesus is coming back.

The eschatological focus is on the Second Coming of Jesus Christ the Bridegroom the Numphonos.

In ancient times the Bridegroom would try and impress the father of the bride by showing his worth or his possessions so that the father would feel secure about allowing his daughter to be married to a man that can fully provide for her.

And that’s what Jesus did for us .

Jesus courts His church.

The courtship of Christ follows the traditional guidelines.

Because Jesus chose us to be His own John 15:16 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

And then verse 13 in John 15  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Jesus chose us and Jesus the Numphonos laid down His life for His friends.

That’s a thank you Jesus moment that’s a thank you Numphonos moment because one day

The Numphonos is the Bridegroom is coming back for His bride, the Christian Church.

Father we thank you for Jesus your Son who is being the Numphonos, the Bridegroom which provides for us the way of salvation for the Christian believer.

Father we bless this newly discovered name of God, and we thank you for the Holy Ghost for always being the perfect teacher.

Thank you dear God for everything In the Bridegroom’s name Numphonos Amen.
