Christ Coming Foretold!

The first coming of the Messiah remains one of the most anticipated events in Jewish history. In fact, the Jews for a long time have waited for Christ coming. To the Jews, they expect a King full of grandeur- the one who will deliver them from their enemies and set up a kingdom that shall never be changed or end. Unfortunately, when He was born, the Jews were never prepared and only had a manger for Him. Why were the Jews not prepared to receive someone they had waited for almost three thousand years? Or was signs not given in scriptures that provided a clue for his first coming? Absolutely No! The scriptures provided clues that were overlooked by the Jews consequently making His birth unknown to them. Ironically, the Jews are still expecting His first coming. For record sake and in line with scriptural truth, the following basic signs were provided in scriptures. That the Messiah will be a product of a woman alone- Genesis 3 v 5; that the Messiah shall rise out of Judah- Numbers 24 v 17; that He shall be born of a virgin- Isaiah 7 v 14; that the Messiah shall be anointed in 27AD according to Daniel 9 v 25 and that the Messiah shall be born in Bethlehem of Judah- Micah 5 v 2. In summary, Christ eventually came as the seed of a woman; He was the star that the three wise men saw in Bethlehem, a town in Judah; He was born of a virgin; He was anointed in 27AD and He was born in a remote town in Bethlehem. This shows that the scripture was actually fulfilled in each of these cases.
