Christmas and Prophecy


Though some people mistakenly claim that Christmas is not an important part of Christianity, the Bible says otherwise. God didn’t just give us Jesus suddenly. He prepared the way for Him with many prophecies that confirmed His identity in advance of His birth and His miraculous life. What are these prophecies, and how were they fulfilled? We’ll read the Scriptures and discover the answers.
