Jesus Prophecies part 1 - Old Testament Prophesies About The Birth Of Christ

Show notes

About This Episode Prophecy is history written in advance. In this first episode of our series on Jesus, we look at the Old Testament prophecies about His birth and why they matter so much for our faith. We start by defining biblical prophecy and why God gave both near and far fulfillments to build trust, then share why more than 300 prophecies about Jesus could never have been manufactured. From God's first promise in Genesis 3:15 to the virgin birth, Bethlehem, Egypt, John the Baptist, and the star the wise men followed, we see God's faithfulness on every page. Our hope is that studying these together sparks rich spiritual conversations in your marriage and deepens your faith as a couple.
