The Birth of :
Christ According
To Prophecy
by William A. Mounts, pastor
* Pembroke Christian Church
One of the magnificient spec- '
taeles of the Scriptures is the
miracle of prophecy. Through this ;
divine achievement we are made
stronger in the Christian faith. ■
In any age of skepticism and
doubt, the fulfilled prophecies of '
the Old Testament should bring
much satisfaction to the person 1
who seeks for the truth. It is 1
through the fulfillment of pro- -
phecy that we see the real beauty
of the birth of our Lord Jesus 1
Christ, for the events surrounding 5
His birth are minutely described
by the prophetic writers of old.
Among the many prophecies con- 1
corning the birth of Christ is one *
concerning His place of birth. ■
Seven hundred and fifty years be- 1
fore Christ's birth, Micah said:
“But thou. Bethlehem Ephratah,
though thou be little among the
I thousands of Judah, yet out of thee
i shall He come forth to me that
|is to be Ruler in Israel; whose
i goings forth have been from of
i old, from everlasting." Micah 5:2.
| Though Bethlehem was “little
i among the thousands of Judah” it
! occupies a big place in our .hearts,
' for, as Micah prophesied, there
■ the Saviour of the world was born.
Isaiah, about seven hundred and
I fifty eight years before the birth
'of Christ, said: “Behold, a virgin
shall conceive, and bear a son, and
shall call his name Immanuel.”
Isaiah 7:14. Later an angel ap
peared to Mary with a similar
message. “And the angel said
unto her, Fear not, Mary: for
thou has found favor with God.
And, behold, thou shall conceive
in thy womb, and bring forth a
son. and shall call his name Jesus,”
Luke 1:30-31. The angel con
tinued and said: “The Holy Ghost
shall come upon thee, and the
power of the Highest shall over
shadow thee; therefore also that
holy thing which shall be horn of
thee shall be called the Son of
God.” Luke 1:35.
A prediction was also made by
one of the prophets that the com
ing of Christ would be the occa
sion of a massacre of Bethlehem's
children. This prohpecy was con
cerned with the activities of King
Herod. Herod commanded the
wise men to search out the young
child and bring him word. Herod
lied as to his object, which was
murder instead of worship. But
the wise men returned to their
own country without complying
with Herod's orders. This excited
his rage. A band of his men
was sent, and not only slew the
male children of Bethlehem, but
those of that vicinity. This was
in fulfillment of Jeremiah 31:15.
“A voice was heard in Ramah,
lamentation, and bitter weeping;
Rachel weeping for her children,
because they were not.”
An outstanding prophecy per
taining to the birth of Christ is
the object of His birth. Matthew
1:21 says: “And she shall bring
forth a son, and thou shalt call
his name Jesus: for he shall save
his people from their sins.” The
blot on the human race is sin. It
degrades life. It destroys homes.
It separates men and God. Part
nership With sin can only lead to
i destruction. And there is no
; remedy for sin apart from Jesus
Christ. We read in the Scrip
tures: “Him hath God exalted with
, his right hand to be a prince and
i a saviour, for to give repentance
; to Israel, and forgiveness.” Acts
i 5:31. Again in Acts: “Be it known
i unto you therefore, men and
brethren, that through this man
i is preached unto you the forgive
ness of sins.” Acts 13:38.
This Christ of prophecy should
be the center of attraction of every
THE PEMBROKE JOURNAL
living person. It would be won
derful if every person would cen
ter his whole life around the teach
ings of this Christ. A successful
Christmas is one that makes this
Christ the center of every action
and thought.
