Jesus fulfills the prophecies made to ancient Israel. Greetings my brother James! I thank God for your love of Christ, your love of truth and your love of the Church. Also thanks for the support. Here are a few verses from the precious historical Church documents called the Gospels. [Luke 1:26] In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, [Luke 1:27] to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. [Luke 1:28] And he came to her and said, "Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!" [Luke 1:29] But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. [Luke 1:30] And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. [Luke 1:31] And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. [Luke 1:32] He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, (Was the Scripture fulfilled? Did God eternally give Jesus the throne of David? YES! [Luke 1:33] and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end." (Does Jesus rule over the house of Jacob in an everlasting kingdom? YES [Luke 1:34] And Mary said to the angel, "How shall this be, since I have no husband?" [Luke 1:35] And the angel said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. [Luke 1:36] And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. [Luke 1:37] For with God nothing will be impossible." [Luke 1:38] And Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.
