And he obtained a promise of the Lord, that out of the fruit of his loins the Lord God would raise up a righteous branch unto the house of Israel; not the Messiah, but a branch which was to be broken off, nevertheless, to be remembered in the covenants of the Lord that the Messiah should be made manifest unto them in the latter days, in the spirit of power, unto the bringing of them out of darkness unto light—yea, out of hidden darkness and out of captivity unto freedom. Quote for DiscussionRighteous Branch In his patriarchal blessing, Joseph Smith Jr. was told: “I bless thee with…the blessings of thy father Joseph, the son of Jacob. Behold he looked after his posterity in the last days;…he sought diligently to know from whence the son should come who should bring forth the word of the Lord, by which they might be enlightened and brought back to the true fold, and his eyes beheld thee, my son; his heart rejoiced and his soul was satisfied.”Archibald F. Bennett, Saviors on Mount Zion, 68 Quote
