There has always been two pictures throughout the Word of Yeshua. One is a suffering servant and the other is a conquering king. The Hebrew teachers call these two figures messiah son of Joseph and messiah son of David The reasoning, I think, was that Joseph suffered at the hands of his brothers, and the figure of  David was a king at the height of power. There is hidden meaning in that Joseph ruled among the Gentiles and David ruled with Israel. The Messiah must rule as both head of the Gentiles(the int'l church) and as king of Israel! He is both! David suffered at the hands of Saul, then ruled in Jerusalem. Joseph suffered at the hands of his brothers and in jail, and then ruled in Egypt. In Zechariah 9:9 Jesus is shown coming to Jerusalem in humility riding on a donkey. In Daniel 7:13-14, we see Him coming in the clouds! This picture of suffering can be seen as a slain lamb, the conquering King seen as a roaring lion...Yeshua IS both... "Behold the lion of the tribe of Juda
