THE BIRTH OF MESSIAH

                            THE WORD MADE FLESH
                 
(some) Prophecy concerning the Christ:

Isaiah 7: 14, “Therefore, the Lord himself shall 

give you a sign, behold a  virgin shall conceive,  

and bear  a son,  and call his name Immanuel.”  

(God with us.)

Isaiah 9: 2, 6, “The people who walked in dark-

ness have seen a great light:  Those who dwelt  

in the land of  the shadow of  death,  upon them

a light  has shined.

Isaiah 59: 20, “And the Redeemer shall come to 

Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression 

in Jacob, saith the Lord.”

Luke 1:26,30-33, “And in the sixth month the 

angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of 

Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused 

to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house 

of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And 

the angel said unto her, fear not, Mary: for thou 

hast found favor with God. And behold, thou 

shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a 

son, and shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be 

great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest;

And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne

of his father David.  And He shall reign over the

house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom 

there shall be no end.

Luke 2: 1-7,  "And it came to pass in those days
that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus,
that all the world should be taxed. (And this
taxing was first made when Cyrenius was 
governor of Syria.)  And all went to be taxed,
everyone to his own city.  And Joseph also went    

up from Galilee, out of the city of David, which
was Bethlehem, because he was of the house

and lineage of  David.  To be  taxed  with Mary,  

his espoused wife, being great with child. 

And so it was that while they were there, the days

were  accomplished that she should be delivered.  

And she brought her first born son, and wrapped 

him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a man-
ger, because there was no room for them in the
inn.

Luke 2:8-14,16, “And there were in the same 

country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping 

watch over their flock by night.

And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, 

and the glory of the Lord shone round about 

them, and they were sore afraid.  And the angel 

said unto them, Fear not; for behold I bring you

good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all

people. For unto you is born this day, in the city  

of David,  a Savior,  which is Christ the Lord.  

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find

the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in 

a manger.  

And suddenly there was with  the angel a multi-

tude of  the Heavenly Host, praising God and 

saying; Glory to God in the Highest, and on 

earth, peace, good will to men.  And they came 

with haste,and found Mary, and Joseph, and the 

babe lying in a manger. 

Matthew 2:1-10, 11-12“Now when Jesus was 

born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of 

Herod the king, behold there came wise men 

from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is 

he that is born King of the Jews?

For we have seen his star in the east and are 

come to worship him.  When Herod the king 

had heard these things, he was troubled and 

all Jerusalem with him.  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, in the land of Judaea, for thus it 

is written by the prophet.  And thou, Bethlehem, 

in the land of Juda art not the least of the prin-

ces of Juda, for out of thee shall come a Gover-

nor, that shall rule my people, Israel. Then 

Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, 
enquired of them diligently what time the star 

appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and 

said, Go and search diligently for the young 

child, and when ye have found him, bring me 

word again that I may come and worship him 

also. 

 Matthew 2:9-12, “When they had heard the 

king, they departed, and; and lo, the star, 

which they saw in the east, went before them, 

till it came and stood over where the young 

child was. 

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with 

exceeding great joy. And when they were 

come into the house, they saw the young

child with Mary his mother, and fell down 

and worshipped him;

And when they had opened their treasures, 

they presented him gifts, gold, and frankin-

cense, and myrrh.  And being warned of

In a dream that they should not return to 

Herod, they departed unto their own country 

another  way.

Matthew2:13-15, and when they were depar-
ted, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared
unto Joseph in a dream, saying,  arise, and
take the young child and his mother,and flee
unto  Egypt and be  there until  I bring thee
word, for Herod shall seek the young child
to destroy him. When he arose, he took the
young  child and his mother by  night, and
departed  into Egypt.  And was there  until
dthe death of  Herod; that it  might be  ful-
filled which was spoken of the Lord  by the
prophet saying, Out of Egypt have I called
my Son.
