Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14).

Hebrews 10:5-7 tells us something really remarkable about the Lord Jesus. It says, Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. He came to fulfil prophecies. Its remarkable to note that many of the prophecies concerning Him were given over 500 years before He was born in Bethlehem.

Despite the long span of time and the many different prophets through whom these prophetic words were given, the Lord Jesus alone fulfilled these prophecies. Its impossible for one person to fulfil so many detailed and extraordinary prophecies unless Hes truly the One spoken of.

For example, the prophecies regarding the Virgin Birth; Isaiah 7:14 declares, Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. This prophecy was fulfilled as described in Matthew 1:22-23, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem: "Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 'Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.'"

A prophecy of His place of Birth is found in Micah 5:2, and it says, But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. Again, we find the fulfilment of this prophecy in Matthew 2:1. It says, "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem."

This confirms that Jesus, the Messiah, was indeed born in Bethlehem, as prophesied by Micah, despite the town's humble significance. But even more profound is the description of Him as One whose goings forth has been from of old, from everlasting. This clearly speaks of His divine natureHe existed before time began.

Jesus was born exactly as the prophets foretold, in Bethlehem of Judah. No ordinary human being could be described as one whose goings forth has been from everlasting. These and other prophecies in Scripture affirm His deity, demonstrating that He is Himself, God who took on human form. Hallelujah!

Prayer

Dear Father, thank you for the unveiling of your Word to my spirit to understand the divine nature of Jesus and the accuracy of the Scriptures that testify of Him. My faith is firmly rooted in your infallible Word, and I boldly proclaim Jesus as Lord over all. His Kingdom is established forever, and I walk in the light of His victory today and always, in Jesus Name. Amen.
