Christmas Prophesy Fulfilled Poem by Spock the Vegan

Christmas Prophesy Fulfilled



The Jewish prophet Isaiah told his people 700
years before it happened that God himself
would come and live among them:

"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign;
Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son,
and shall call his name Immanuel [God with us]."
(Isaiah 7: 14)

After about 700 years the following happened:

"And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent
from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to
a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph,
of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou
that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed
art thou among women. And when she saw him, she
was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what
manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said
unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour
with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb,
and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

"He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the
Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne
of his father David: and he shall reign over the house of
Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

"Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing
I know not a man? And the angel answered and said
unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the
power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore
also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be
called the Son of God." (Luke 1: 26-35)

The fulfillment is shown in Luke 2: 6-14:

"...behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in
the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger..."

When atheists say there is no God, I simply tell them that simply on rational grounds one can choose a religion if not born into one and just the beauty of the Birth of Jesus makes me choose it as the most beautiful symbol of love and I cannot offer proof and need none as it is the best fantasy, if fantasy it be, in which to live - and then they leave my beliefs alone.

I decided years ago that I can't prove anything to anybody. They always have a reason to disbelieve my proofs. I have seen some disproofs of the Bible in magazines that were ridiculous.
