As we celebrate Christmas, we are reminded of how the birth of Jesus was predicted, forecasted and set in motion thousands of years before the first Christmas. We read about it in Isaiah 9:6:  For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. This birth was the culmination of God’s plan to reconcile humanity to himself.Â
The Old Testament, written over a period of one thousand years and written several hundred years before the time of Christ, contains hundreds of prophecies of God’s promised source of reconciliation. These ancient prophecies were fulfilled in the one person of Jesus Christ, and they provide solid confirmation for: His credentials and claims as Savior and Lord; His unique life in comparison to all the other religious leaders of the world; and for our hope and confidence that truly He and He alone is the one to whom we (and the world) must look for salvation and meaning in this life.Â
Join us as we explore these prophecies related to the birth, life, death and return of Jesus Christ through this series and with this companion study guide.
