MATTHEW 2 – PROPHESIED MESSIAH
“And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, “In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, and thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel”. Matthew 2:4-6
One of the unique facts that makes Christ different from every other God in the world is that Jesus was prophesied prior to His birth. In fact, the Bible discloses much of the Messiahs resume in the Old Testament text. This was confirmed when historical manuscripts dated back thousands of years before Jesus lived, were found in the caves of Kumrah in the late 1940s.

One of these amazing messianic prophecies is found in the book of Micah, where it reveals that Jesus would be born in Bethlehem. Think of the statistical chances of such a prophesy being fulfilled…

Out of the 7 Continents, the prophecy speaks of Asia.

Out of all the states in Asia, the prophecy speaks of Canaan.

And out of all of the provinces found in Canaan, Micah points to the city of Judea-Bethlehem (a tiny remote little village) where the Messiah would eventually be born.

The articulation of this prophecy isn’t an isolated event. The Bible gives a plethora of more predictions that include the Messiah’s death, His lineage, and the Israeli tribe where He would come from. No wonder Jesus was able to say boldly,  “Moses and the prophets, wrote of me”…

CHALLENGE

Although there have been many detractors of Jesus who have attempted to discredit the Bible, these messianic prophecies were written hundreds, even in some cases, thousands of years before Christ was ever born, are undeniable.  Are you persuaded? Do you believe it? God is speaking, will you listen? I pray that you do.

I do believe I am persuaded by this because it only makes sense if some of it was written back way before Christ was ever born. There is not really another explanation for this. I believe what is said here is true for that reason, I also believe in Christ and is words, so this is not something to be weirded out by because it only makes sense. I believe God speaks to me every day not only in words but in the actions, I see in my everyday life.

[Jacob Mannon]

I believe that the Bible is self-evident. It proves itself time and time again. I believe that the prophecies are true, and that Jesus was prophesied to come thousands of years before He showed up in the flesh. Adam and Eve were given a hint of His coming in Genesis 3:15, “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head and you shall bruise His heel” (New King James Version, 2020). This statement seems self-contradicting out of context. Biblically, women do not have seed. Men are the carriers of seed. This statement from God insinuates a virgin birth. We are given the first hint at the plan of redemption while the fall of man is taking place. It is amazing how intricately woven the details of God’s plan are and that we are blessed enough to be able to see a bigger piece of the picture now with the Bible.

Amy and Jacob.

I love that you believe. I believe, too. He had a plan for everything. He has a plan for us even when things are bad. We just have to have faith.

[Jason Springer]

I do believe that these prophecies are true and undeniable evidence of Jesus. I also believe that God intentionally made these prophecies to encourage us in our faith knowing that He told the world way before Jesus came to this earth.

[Kanthony]

Jason,
I love how you put that He did this to encourage us in our faith. He does that a lot. I’m so thankful for that. He knows what we need.

[Braden Binegar]

I do believe in these prophecies I have seen many people do the science of these prophecies throughout the Bible they have said that according to chance you would have had a better chance getting struck by lightning 5 times in a row than have every single prophecy fulfilled and yet they all were fulfilled except the upcoming ones spoke in Revelation.
