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.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

4:2 In that day. The term “that day” usually refers either to the “day of the LORD,” especially the end-time period of judgment, or to a more immediate period of judgment, which is a type of the other.


4:2 the branch. “The branch” is a prophetic name for the coming Messiah (see also Jeremiah 23:5; 33:15; and Zechariah 3:8; 6:12). The reason for the use of this term is more clearly seen in Isaiah 11:1, where a “branch” is seen growing out of an apparently dead tree stump.
