Zechariah 6: A Man Named Branch

In Zechariah 6, the Lord commands Zechariah to crown the high priest Joshua. At this moment, he gives the message to Joshua:

12-13 “‘A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies. Be alert. We have a man here whose name is Branch. He will branch out from where he is and build the Temple of God. Yes, he’s the one. He’ll build the Temple of God. Then he’ll assume the role of royalty, take his place on the throne and rule—a priest sitting on the throne!—showing that king and priest can coexist in harmony.’

It is the second time Zechariah (Zechariah 3:8-9) talks about the Branch. Here, we read that He is the one who builds the Temple of God and is king and priest. Jesus was accused of blasphemy for saying that He is Messiah as in Daniel 7. This happened after someone said that He claimed that He would rebuild the temple. In fact, Jesus is the temple of the Lord (where earth and heaven connects), the King and the Priest.
