This verse is properly translated as "and this is the name which he will be called "Jehovah is our Righteousness". The second word is part of his name.. 5 Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. 6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name whereby he shall be called: Jehovah our righteousness.
Jeremiah 23:5-6
This passage teaches
Messiah would be a God Man.
The Messiah would be Jehovah Himself; Jehovah would become a man.
Messiah would be a descendant of David and therefore king. Jeremiah here reaffirms the Davidic Covenant (discussed under I Chronicles 17:10b - 14).
It is not saying that the Messiah is G-d. It is saying that people will call him "Jehovah is Our Righteousness". Like Jeremiah means "Jehovah Raises Up".
This verse does not prove that the Messiah is G-d.
This verse is referring to the fact that Jesse, David's father was from Bethlehem and the Messiah is a descendant of Jesse through David.. 2 But thou, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.
Micah 5:2
This verse teaches that
Messiah would be born in Bethlehem the city of David.
Messiah would be divine as well as human, having existing from eternity past.
Although you did finally find a Messianic prophecy.
Two messianic prophecies in a row!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 ***, even upon a colt the foal of an ***. 10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off; and he shall speak peace unto the nations: and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
Zachariah 9:9-10
This passage teaches that
Messiah's first coming would be in humility.
Messiah's official presentation as the Messianic King would come when He rides into Jerusalem, riding on the foal of a donkey.
It doesn't seem to be saying that this is his first presentation or that it will be when he rides into Jerusalem on a donkey. It says that the messiah will be riding on a donkey. And it says that G-d will cut of the horses from Jerusalem.
This is unfortunately not a Messianic prophecy. The two staffs are the two kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Jeroboah wanted to lead the nation pleasantly (1 Kings 12:3,4). Rehoboam was the opposite (1 Kings 12:11).1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars. 2 Wail, O fir-tree, for the cedar is fallen, because the goodly ones are destroyed: wail, O ye oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest is come down. 3 A voice of the wailing of the shepherds! for their glory is destroyed: a voice of the roaring of young lions! for the pride of the Jordan is laid waste. 4 Thus said Jehovah my God: Feed the flock of slaughter; 5 whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty; and they that sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah, for I am rich; and their own shepherds pity them not. 6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah; but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbor’s hand, and into the hand of his king; and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them. 7 So I fed the flock of slaughter, verily the poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
Zachariah 11:1-7
This passage teaches that
Messiah's first coming would be rejected, especially by the Jewish leaders.
While the nation as a whole would reject Messiah there would be a small Remnant of believing people who would accept Him.
The leadership of Israel would sell Him out for thirty pieces of silver.
The results of the rejection would be twofold, first, the protection would be taken away leaving Israel vulnerable to Gentile attack - in AD 70. Second, unity would be removed and Israel would be scattered.
Because they turned away from the true Messiah they would foolishly accept a false messiah. This led to the second devastation of the land in AD 135.
If the destruction described in verses 1-3 were the destruction in AD 70 then the Messiah would have to come before 70 AD.
Messiah is the Good Shepherd Jn 10:11-18
So no.
I'm not sure if you realized how the verse changes from first person to third person:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look unto 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 first-born.
Zachariah 12:10
This verse teaches
Messiah's first coming would be rejected by Israel.
Messiah would die a violent death by means of piercing.
Messiah would be both God and man.
"And they shall look to me, which have been pierced, and they shall mourn him as one mourns..."
If G-d was the one being pierced, then the verses should have said:
"And they shall look to me...and they shall mourn me..."
Since it doesn't, we can say that the verse seems to be speaking about two different entities.
