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."
