GOD'S SON IS BORN: PROPHECY FULFILLED

(Message by Tanny Keng)


1. God's Son Is Born

a) God had sworn to Abraham and to David that the Christ would be born. The prophets indicated that Christ would be born in Bethlehem, of a virgin, while the Romans were in power. This came true when Jesus was born to Mary and God's Son became a human being.

b) The angel's statement to Mary (Luke 1:26-33) is made from the very perspective of the Times of Israel. The promised king — the Messiah or Christ — was to reign over Israel in an endless kingdom.
