(Daniel 2:44)

"And, I blessed the Most High, and I praised and glorified Him Who lives forever:

The government will be on His shoulder: and His Name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God - the Mighty, and Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace. He shall sit upon the throne of David and his kingdom; to establish it and strengthen it with judgement and with justice from henceforth and forever. The zeal of the Lord will do this. He has sent His Word to Jacob (Israel). (Isaiah 9:6-8) His light shall be as a fire, His Holy One, a flame." (Isaiah 10:17)
"The Lord shall go forth as a Mighty Man." (Isaiah 42:13) "I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour. Everyone who calls upon My Name, I have created for My glory, I have formed him, and have made him. I Am, I Am the lord: and there is no Saviour besides Me." (Isaiah 43:3,7,11:) "I am the first, and I am the last, and besides me there is no God." (Isaiah 44:6) "Thus says the Lord God Who inhabits eternity." (Isaiah 57:15; Ex. 3:14; John 8:58)

AND THE VIRGIN MAID (Of Genesis 3:15 & Isaiah 7:14) CONCEIVED (Luke 1:26-35) The angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called 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 said to her, "The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you, and the Holy which shall be born of you shall be called 'The Son of God'." And Mary said to the Angel: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done unto me according to thy word." And the Angel departed from her.
AND THE CHILD, NOW A MAN, CAME TO NAZARETH WHERE HE WAS BROUGHT UP: AND HE WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE ON THE
SABBATH:
The book of the prophet Isaiah was delivered to Him, and He found the place where it was written: "The Spirit of
the Lord
is upon Me, wherefore He has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the contrite
of heart,
to preach deliverance to the captives and give sight to the blind; to set at liberty those who are bruised, to
preach
the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of reward." (Isaiah 61:1-2) After
which, He
said to them, "This day, this Scripture is fulfilled in your ears."
AND LATER, BEFORE HIS ASCENSION TO HEAVEN IN THE SIGHT OF HIS APOSTLES He said to them, " I came forth from the Father, into the world: again, I shall leave the world, and go back to the Father. " (John 16:28) Before leaving, He prayed to the Father, "I have glorified You on earth. I have finished the work you gave Me to do. Now Father, glorify Me with Thyself, with the glory which I had with You, before ever the world was." (John 17:4-5)
FINALLY, HAVING FULFILLED ALL OF THE PROPHECIES REGARDING HIMSELF, HE... "Starting with Moses, and going through all of the prophets, He explained the passages throughout the Scriptures which referred to Himself...all the things which had to be fulfilled, written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning Himself. Thus, it is written, the Christ had to suffer, and to rise from the dead on the third day: that penance and remission of sins, in His Name, could be proclaimed to all the nations, (till the end of time - Matthew 28:18-20) beginning at Jerusalem." (Luke 24:27,44-47)
May God's Holy Spirit of Love, be poured forever-overflowing into all of our hearts. Amen.
