Please
note carefully that what the zeal of God was prophesied to perform was that; “the
increase of His (Christ’s) government and peace there will be no end upon the
throne of David and over His (Christ’s) kingdom, to order it and establish it
with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever”. Meaning that,
the kingship of Jesus Christ began from the time of His birth. So the question is
when is that precise time this prophecy was fulfilled?
Let
us please note carefully and ascertain the fact that, the theme or the main
focus of the prophet Isaiah’s prophecy concerning the birth of Jesus Christ is
that of Kingship whose kingdom would be established from the date of His birth
and would continue forever, So let us continue examining the scriptures to
prove exactly when the King of kings became flesh and dwelt among men.

The Shepherds watching over their
flock
There
is absolutely no ambiguity that the Kingship of Jesus Christ began from the
time of His birth and that day has not been hidden from man because, on the day
of Christ’s birth an angel said to the shepherds who were watching their flock;
"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 cloths, lying in a manger."
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
2:10-14).
Again,
as one can clearly see the date of Christ’s birth has never been a secret and
it is a day designated to be one of good tidings and great joy for all people. What is even more remarkable is
that after the shepherds witnessed a multitude of the heavenly host praising
God and saying:" Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill
toward men!" And later saw the child Jesus as foretold by the angel they
did not keep what they saw and heard silent or secret,
In
fact, we are told that, “Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the
saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all those who heard it
marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds” (Luke 2:17-18).
