When was the Word made flesh, and dwelt among us (part 2)


I know that it is not going to be easy for the majority to accept and believe after being under such a heavy cloud of deception for so long, but to those who are no longer spiritually blinded here are four out of eight  examples to prove that the Feast of Tabernacles commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ:

  1. Isaiah’s prophecy

The prophet Isaiah prophesied saying; “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this” (Isaiah 9:6-7).

Please note carefully that it is from the birth of the Child that the government was set on His shoulders to order and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever and the zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform it, that means it is guaranteed.

  1. The day the Word became flesh was not a secret

On the day the Word became flesh and dwelt among us we are told that; “there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger” (Luke 2: 8-12).

So, there is a precise day known by man as to when the Word became flesh and to further confirm it we are told: “And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: " Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!" (Luke 2:13-14).

What happened next was that, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us." And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger.” Therefore, the day on which the Word became flesh and dwelt among us is definitely not a secret.

What happened next further proved that the day the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us was not a secret because, when the shepherds had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. Which was, “for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

  1. The wise men from the East

It is stated plainly in the scriptures that; “Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him" (Matthew 2:1-2).

Please note carefully that the wise men came to Jerusalem looking for the One who has been born King of the Jews, which signifies that the Word that was made flesh and dwelt among us was the King of the Jews and when they came to the house and saw the young Child with Mary His mother, they fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, to honor of a King, frankincense to honor Him as God and myrrh in honor Him as man.

  1. Jesus’ trial before Pilate

During Jesus’ trial before Pilate, he called Jesus, and said to Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" Jesus answered him, "Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?" Jesus continued; “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here."

Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice" (John 18:33-37).

There is therefore no ambiguity that, Jesus Christ the Word which was made flesh and dwelt among us was born King and it was for this reason He came into the world.
