Micah 5:2 And thou Bethlehem Ephrata, art a little one among the thousands of
Juda, out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be the ruler in Israel: and
his going forth is from the beginning, from the days of eternity.
Psalms 89:3 –4 I have made a covenant with my elect: I have sworn to David my
servant: Thy seed will I settle for ever. And I will build up thy throne unto
generation and generation.
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold a virgin shall
conceive, and bear a son and his name shall be called Emmanuel.
Numbers 24:17 I shall see him, but not now: I
shall behold him, but not near. A STAR SHALL
RISE out of Jacob and a sceptre shall spring
up from Israel: and shall strike the chiefs of
Moab, and shall waste all the children of Seth
Psalms 72:10 The kings of Tharsis and the
islands shall offer presents: the kings of the
Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts:
Isaiah 9:6 For a CHILD IS BORN to us, and a
son is given to us, and the government is
upon his shoulder: and his name shall be
called Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty,
the Father of the world to come, the Prince of
Peace.
FULFILLMENT:
Luke 2:4 - 11 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth,
into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem: because he was of
the house and family of David. To be enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who
was with child.
And it came to pass that when they were there, her days were accomplished that
she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first born son and wrapped
him up in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger: because there was no
room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds
watching and keeping the night watches over their flock. And behold an angel of
the Lord stood by them and the brightness of God shone round about them: and
they feared with a great fear.
And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of
great joy that shall be to all the people: For, this day is born to you a Savior, who
is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.
Prophecy: Messiah would do powerful works of the Holy Spirit:
Isaiah 11:2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him: the spirit of wisdom,
and of understanding, the spirit of counsel, and of fortitude, the spirit of
knowledge, and of godliness.
The Magi knew when to expect the birth
of Jesus because Daniel foretold it
five hundred years earlier
