This can apply to none other than Jesus Christ, since he alone could fill the office of King and Priest under God’s arrangement. Jesus Christ is promised as a righteous “sprout” raised up to David. This One will execute righteousness and justice. (Jer 23:5; 33:15; compare Isa 53:2; Re 22:16.) He is also called a twig and a sprout out of Jesse, David’s father.—Isa 11:1.

Its a prohpesy. God promises, through Jeremiah, that he will send a messiah. Advent is about waiting and preparing for the coming of the messiah, Jesus, at his birth on Christmas. So it relates in that Advent is the preparation before God fufills his promise as made in Jeremiah. See?

Who cares? It is all fiction.
But to answer your question, those were some of the verses that the authors of the New Testament used when they created the fiction about Jesus decades after he died (if he existed at all). When attempting to make your pet prophet come off as someone real, it is useful to write a history of that person that is made to correspond to old writings.
