ONE HEARTBEAT AWAY -PART 27

                                            ONE HEARTBEAT                AWAY
                                                   PART 27
                                            (Mark Cahill's Book)



1.   In the Old Testament, Isaiah 7:14 
      reads:

 " Therefore the Lord Himself
       shall Give you a sign ; Behold a 
       virgin shall conceive, and bear a 
       son!   and shall call His name 
        Immanuel?"

This prophecy was fulfilled by Yeshua 
( the Hebrew name for Jesus) , as we read in the New Testament:

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to  be with child  of the Holy Ghost.

Then Joseph her husband,  being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.

But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt  call His name JESUS, for He shall save His people from their sins.

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord, by the prophet, saying,

Behold, a virgin shall be with child,  and shall bring forth a son! and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Then Joseph being raised from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

And he knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called His name JESUS. (Matthew: 1:18-25)

God said He would bring forth a Son from a virgin, and He did.


2.   The Old Testament prophesies that
        this Messiah, this Son Who would
        be "Immanuel, God with us," would
        truly be the incarnation of Almighty
        God."



For unto us a child is born , unto us  a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, 
The Prince of Peace, (Isaiah: 9:6)

And the New Testament says: 

(Jesus said)  But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto Me, both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.

And when He had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 

And while they looked steadfastly towards heaven , as He went up, behold two men stood beside them in white apparel; which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?  This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven (Acts: 1:8-11)

Jesus said unto them, verily, verily, I say unto you, before Abraham was, I am.
(John 8:58)

God said that Messiah would be "The Mighty God. The Everlasting Father?"
In human form - and He was.
