Do you know that the history behind the Christmas story goes back centuries before the actual birth of Christ---This week on -Encounter God's Truth,- Dr. John Whitcomb will describe more of the historical context of one of the greatest promises of Christmas ever revealed-Isaiah 7-14. It was the very Word of God-given through the pen of the prophet Isaiah roughly 700 years before the incarnation of Christ.--With host Wayne Shepherd, we hear part two of a message called -God with Us.- It is the next installment in our series -Isaiah- The LORD is Salvation,- which we began this fall, and now conclude to coincide with the Christmas season.--God's Word is true from the beginning to the end. Whitcomb Ministries delights in presenting that Word-during the Christmas season and all year long.--We share this message with thanks to -Middletown Bible Church in Middletown, Connecticut, where Dr. Whitcomb first taught it live.
