QUARCOO UNTO US, A CHILD IS BORN Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (KJV)

Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel *. Jer 31:22 How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man. Created: Bara'. Same word used in Genesis 1. Gen. 1:1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Same process of creation took place when Jesus body was placed in the womb of Mary. Lu 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. (KJV) Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Lu 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. (KJV) Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth. THE BLOOD Within the body of Jesus was placed the most precious commodity that God sent from heaven. Gods own blood, divine blood, holy blood. No mans blood could free us from sin. No prophet or great man. But sin demanded a costly price blood. The blood of goats and bulls could not make it, hence the need to repeat the sacrifice day by day. Heb 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. God said: Le 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

Heb 10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. Heb 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. Heb 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Heb 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: Heb 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Heb 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. Heb 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; Heb 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. PROBABILITY Over 300 prophecies about Jesus Christ in the Old Testament For 17 prophecies to be fulfilled in one person, the probability is 480 X10^30 [ =480 billion X 1 billion X 1 Trillion If we were to take 48 of the major predictions regarding the promised Messiah, the number would be so large our minds could not comprehend it. The conservative odds are 10 x 157 (one followed by 157 zeros) The fact of the matter is that people are willingly ignorant and fail to consider even the most obvious proofs. Recognizing that the Word of God is true puts man into a position of accountability and dependence. This requires change and a transformation of how one is presently living.
