For To Us A Child Is Born

During his ministry between 739 B.C.to 680 B.C., Prophet Isaiah tells of the future birth of Christ.
Isaiah 9:6-7
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.
Isaiah prophecies about the birth of Christ are fulfilled in the new testament books of the gospels.
The book of Mic.5:2/Matt.2:6 tells of Christ birth in Bethlehem, Is.7:14/Matt.1:23 his birth of a virgin, Is.7:14/Matt.1:23 his name would be called Immanuel, meaning God with us and Is.9:6-7/Matt.1:1 Christ would rule on David's throne.
In Is.9:6/John1:1, Christ is God in human flesh. Is.9:6/Luke 2:14 Christ would bring peace on earth.
Lord, how awesome are Your words. Your word is true from everlasting to everlasting.You are maker of heaven and earth and you set the stars in the sky.
We can not understand Your ways but so long to please You. Forgive our failures and have mercy on us. Amen
