JESUS CHRIST IN PROPHECY......................... Proverbs 8: 22-34

     In the Old Testament book of Proverbs; Chapter 8,   
    vs. 22.34: "The Lord possessed me in the beginning of
his  ways.  Before his works of  old.  I was set  up from
before his works of old.  I was set up  from everlasting,
from the beginning or ever the earth was.  When there
were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were
no fountains abounding with water.  Before the moun-
tains ere settled, before the hills I was brought forth:
while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,
nor the highest part of the dust of the world.  

When he prepared  the heavens,  I was  there: when he 
set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he gave
to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment:  When he appointed the foundations of 
the earth:

Then I was by him, as one brought up with him;  and I  was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; Rejoi-
cing in the habitable part of his earth;  and my delights  were with the sons of men.  Now therefore hearken unto 
me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. 

Hear instruction, and be wise,  and refuse it not.  Blessed
is the man that heareth me,  watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors." 

I just learned a word previously unknown to me.  The word
is used in my dictionary to give a hint to the existence of our
Lord, Jesus Christ.  It gives understanding to this passage in
Proverbs 8. Adumbration: "The act of(*)shadowing forth; a
faint or imperfect representation of a thing." (*adumbrating
or) This definition is from Websters Encyclopedic Dictionary
of  the English Language,  published by  the North American
Educational Guild, ltd.  Winnipeg, Manitoba, 1952.

If there has ever been an event shrouded in mystery and won-
der, it is the arrival on the stage of history, the Lord Jesus, or
the Son of God (God the Son) Adonais.  These are mere tokens
of the many names of Yeshua.  His equality with his Father,
God (Yaweh) is long established. He was not initially, born as
were men.  He was with the Father in the beginning and it  is
not clear just how long ago that was, since time has been fac-
tored into the universe for only some 6,000 years.  Time mea-
sured by our earth's circumnavigation of the Sun, along with
the  creation of  the  universe,  are markers by  which  time is
measured.  

      In the Prophecy of Isaiah, chapter 7: 14-16, "Therefore the
Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold a virgin shall con-
ceive,  and  bear a  son,  and  shall call  his name  Immanuel.
      For  before the  child  shall  know  to  refuse the  evil,  and 
choose the good,  the land  that thou  abhorrest  shall be  for-
saken of both her kings." 
 
Further speculation on this event would never be more than 
speculation and an empty  pursuit.  So we will not go down 
that path to nowhere.  We plan to return to this post as fur-
ther light comes from Scripture.
