Hi Liz, nice to see you jump in :-)
Well, that is clearly one exegesis of the passage,..... :-)
We had one that leaned that way, vesting a new subject in the previous phrase,
and two in the opposite way.(he).. (while I am just a learner and listener)
What I have learned here on this passage I will summarize..
1) grammatically "he shall" and "there shall be" are essentially a wash...
Neither is grammatically "correct" or "incorrect", that was my
first real issue
Any claim of "mistranslation" (which is where I came in, on another
forum)
is a false claim, except if they change the "upon/seated" or
"shall be"
2) the five previous actions by the branch in sequence would mitigate for "he"
3) the plural in the subsequent verse is a similar argument for "they"
Neither (2) or (3) is conclusive...
