Scene 2 - Prophet Speaking to the People

What follows are the events surrounding this greatest miracle 

in all of history. More than 400 years before Jesus' birth, 

prophets spoke more than 60 prophecies telling specifically 

how the Messiah would come and what He would experience. 

These included events that would surround His coming and the things 

He would accomplish. With approximately 270 ramifications fulfilled 

in the one man, Jesus, we see how perfect was God's plan from 

all eternity. The prophets said, "therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: 

Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, 

and will call His name Emmanuel. For a child will be born to us, 

a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; 

and His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, 

Prince of Peace. There will be no end to the increase of His government."
