You need to get all of the numbers in a line to win.
It’s not good enough to get them all except one.
There’s this Bible Bingo that needs to be fulfilled. You need all 3.
In order to fulfill these prophecies, you need :
- Someone from the line of David, who will rule forever.
- Someone born in a very small town called Bethlehem.
- Someone born from a virgin.
This is pretty hard to do.
But you know what? Someone got veeery close to doing all 3.
It all begins with this angel meeting a young woman…..
Okay. Are there any words that SCREAM OUT at you from our prophecies?
She’s connected to King David.
We know that she’s Jewish and from his lineage, as was Joseph. The angel drops our first prophecy about a Messiah that will rule forever.
She’s a Virgin.
You see it? This prophecy about a king of kings from the line of David is directed to this Virign. Alarm bells would be going off in your head. We have 2 of the 3 prophecies!!
But wait!
Where’s Bethlehem??? What place did we get instead?
Nazareth????
It’s not the guy!
Oh well, this was close. I guess it wasn’t fulfilled. Unless someone intervenes, this child will be from a different town…
This is Caesar Augustus. Roman Emperor.
He wanted to see how big his empire was. He wanted to count the population. Problem is that people are scattered everywhere.
What’s his solution?
“Hey everybody in my kingdom! I want to count you all! Go back to your birth place please! Do it now!”
Caesar Augustus
So everyone went back to their roots.
This affected a lot of people.
including this virgin
Ahhhh. Now that makes more sense!
We now have all 3.
This must be the kid! This must be the king of kings!
What an upside down sort of affair.
But you know what?
This is just the beginning of his birth being
upside down.
