Christ Is born!

"A virgin shall conceive and give birth to a child and you shall call him Emmanuel, meaning God is with us" This was the prophecy given by Isaiah the prophet about 700 years before Christ was born. This statement was again re-echoed to Joseph, the step father of Jesus Christ by Angel Gabriel. Though, the bible teaches that Jesus birth was celebrated by the Angels in heaven and that He came to die for the sins of the whole world in order to bring redemption to mankind: And that his birth was prophesied by all the old testament prophets, and the most fascinating prophecy of Jesus first coming was given by Daniel the Prophet; this prophesy was significant because Jesus birth date was actually given to the Jews who had earnestly asked for their coming Messiah. Unfortunate, when Jesus eventually came, the Jews were not prepared for it and they were actually ignorant of it. Despite their ignorance, three men (three wise-men) stood out and were able to study the scriptures and came all the way to Bethlehem to see their KING!
