In one passage the name Jehovah Tsidkenu which is the actual YHVH,
is used of the BRANCH referring to Christ and the other to Jerusalem the same name is used.
Why would this be?
And is it referring to the new heavenly Jerusalem that descends from heaven to the new earth? Or Jerusalem as the temple and city of God and Christ referring to his person? Why is this branch passage used two different ways?
Jer 33:15-16
15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.
KJV
Jer 23:5-6
5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
