The Prophecy Candle
Isaiah 7:14
"Therefore the Lord Himself
will give you a sign:
Behold, a virgin will be with child
and bear a son,
and she will call His name
Immanuel"
~
Isaiah 9:6-7
"For a child will be born to us,
a son will be given to us;
and the government will rest upon His shoulders;
and His name will be called
Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
Eternal Father,
Prince of Peace.
There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and righteousness
from then on and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts
will accomplish this."
~
Luke 1:30-35
"And the angel said to her,
"Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favour with God.
And behold, you will conceive in your womb,
and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus.
He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High;
and the Lord God
will give Him the throne
of His father David;
and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever;
and His kingdom will have no end.
And Mary said to the angel,
How can this be, since I am a virgin?
And the angel answered and said to her,
The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High
will overshadow you;
and for that reason the holy offspring
shall be called
the Son of God.
