The ‘Righteous Branch’ and the Spirit-led leader: Lessons from Joseph to Yeshua (Genesis 41–42; Isaiah 11)

In contrast to worldly leadership, Scripture reveals a model rooted in humility, righteousness, and the fear of Adonai (the LORD). The restoration of Yosef (Joseph) in ancient Egypt and Isaiah’s vision of the Righteous Branch foreshadow Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus the Christ) — Spirit-anointed to preserve, restore and lead with justice. This study explores how godly leaders are marked by wisdom, not ambition, and how Yeshua fulfills these roles. For believers today, it offers prophetic insight into Spirit-led leadership that prepares the way for the coming Kingdom.

‘You will call His name Immanuel’: Heaven’s desire has always been to be with us

At Sukkot (Festival of Tabernacles), we celebrate Heaven’s work to heal the breach between the God and humanity, so that once again, the Creator can live with His creation. And one of the most enduring and repeated reassurances the Holy One is Immanu El — God with us.

In the Torah reading שמות Shemot (“names,” Exodus 1:1–6:1), we see Heaven’s revelation of “the Name,” translated as “I am” or “I will be.” But in this passage, we also see a foreshadowing of the “name above all names”: God With Us. This study explores the “now and not yet” prophecies of Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus) in the “Book of Immanuel” (Isaiah 7–12).
