U.S.A.
Bible Answer:
Christ's Birth Prophesied (just
a few):
Genesis 3:15 NLT
And I will cause hostility between
you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He
will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.”
Isaiah 7:14 KJV
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 9:1-7 NLT
1 Nevertheless, that time of
darkness and despair will not go on forever. The land of Zebulun and
Naphtali will be humbled, but there will be a time in the future when
Galilee of the Gentiles, which lies along the road that runs between
the Jordan and the sea, will be filled with glory.
2 The people who walk in darkness
will see a great Light. For those who live in a land of deep
darkness, a Light will shine.
3 You will enlarge the nation of
Israel, and its people will rejoice. They will rejoice before you as
people rejoice at the harvest and like warriors dividing the plunder.
4 For you will break the yoke of
their slavery and lift the heavy burden from their shoulders. You
will break the oppressor’s rod, just as you did when you destroyed
the army of Midian.
5 The boots of the warrior and the
uniforms bloodstained by war
will all be burned. They will be
fuel for the fire.
6 For a Child is born to us,
a Son is given to us. The government will rest on His
shoulders And He will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 His government and its peace will
never end.
He will rule with fairness and
justice from the throne of His ancestor David for all eternity.
The passionate commitment of The
Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen!
Isaiah 40:3 KJV
The voice of him that crieth in the
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of The Lord, make straight in the
desert a highway for our God.
Daniel 9:25 NLT
Now listen and understand! Seven
sets of seven plus sixty-two sets of seven will pass from the time
the command is given to rebuild Jerusalem until a ruler—The
Anointed One—comes. Jerusalem will be rebuilt with streets and
strong defenses, despite the perilous times.
Micah 5:2 KJV
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.
Zechariah
6:12,13 KJV
12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus
speaketh The Lord Of Hosts, saying, Behold the Man whose name is The
Branch; and He shall grow up out of His place, and He shall build the
temple of The Lord:
13 Even He shall build the temple of
The Lord; and He shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon
His throne; and He shall be a priest upon His throne: and the counsel
of peace shall be between them both.
Malachi 3:1 NLT
“Look! I am sending My messenger,
and He will prepare the way before Me. Then The Lord you are seeking
will suddenly come to His Temple. The Messenger Of The Covenant, whom
you look for so eagerly, is surely coming,” says The Lord Of
Heaven’s Armies.
