which is above every name:

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted,

Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place,

Zechariah 9:9 ¶ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. Zechariah sees the pierced side of Jesus as that of God. Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. His nailed scarred hands will identify Him throughout eternity. Zechariah 13:6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. Jesus will reign as a King eternally, bearing the Name of God. Zechariah 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
A prophet issues a plea for God to come to earth.
Isaiah 64:1 ¶ Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down,
that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, I am thankful that Almighty God made provision for me even before creation. He condescended to earth in the form of a man. He bore the penalty for sin that He Himself has prescribed. He purchased my salvation with His own blood. The cry of the prophet was answered; God did indeed come down!
Luke 2:8 ¶ And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field,
keeping watch over their flock by night.
