The Magi knew when to expect the birth
of Jesus because Daniel foretold it
five hundred years earlier
The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old. And
hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say to
you, before Abraham was made, I AM.
Prophecy: The Messiah will be born of a virgin, in the city of Bethlehem
and a star will be a sign. He will be a descendent of King David. Kings of
the east will bow down to Him and bring Him gifts. He will conquer sin and
death:

days of eternity.

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

is upon his shoulder: and his name shall

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.
