Weather forecasters are doing well if they get it right 5 days ahead. But the coming of God into this world at Christmas in the person of Jesus Christ was foretold sometimes thousands of years ahead! This sensational event split history into BC and AD and has been called ‘His-Story’! Over 300 detailed forecasts relating to the birth, life, death and resurrection of Christ, meaning Messiah, were accurately fulfilled and the double forecast that He would be born of a virgin in Bethlehem has become the theme of carol services around the world. [Micah 5:2]
The prophet Daniel [chapter 2] forecast that Messiah would come during the 4th empire after the Babylonian. This was the Roman empire and their tax compelled Joseph and Mary to travel to Bethlehem where Jesus was born exactly as forecast!
