21 min - Angels Deliver Shocking Prophecies to Mary, Joseph, and Zechariah as Old Testament Promises Transform History: Chapter Two
Mary. Joseph. Zechariah. Some of the key figures in the Christmas story have one thing in common: They received prophetic messages that changed absolutely everything. In the Book of Luke, we see an angel arrive with a jarring message for Zechariah.
Then, Mary and Joseph are given stunning proclamations about what's to come — events that change the course of their lives and of human history.
How do they all react, and what do their responses tell us? Beyond that, how do these promises fulfill Old Testament prophecies? This second episode of the show dives into these themes and more.
Join Greg Laurie, Jeff Kinley, Ray Comfort, Jesse Bradley, Shane Idleman, and CBN's Billy Hallowell for this must-hear conversation.
And on the third chapter of “Jesus and the Prophecies of Christ" — which will be released December 21 — we’ll explore where Jesus is predicted in the Old Testament hundreds of years before the nativity.
24 min - Bible Prophecy Fulfilled — The Nativity and Origins of Jesus: Chapter One
Welcome to "Jesus and the Prophecies of Christmas," a podcast that dives deep into the incredible story of how Jesus' birth was foretold long before the manger. We’re exploring how the Old Testament prophecies pointed to the coming Messiah and how ancient promises came to be perfectly fulfilled in the person of Jesus.
In chapter one of the discussion, we explore the role and power of biblical prophecy, Jesus' presence throughout the Old Testament, and why the baby in a manger is a fulfillment of God's promises to humanity. This introductory episode sets the stage for what's to come in this powerful, four-part series.
Join For King + Country's Joel Smallbone, Greg Laurie, Jeff Kinley, Ray Comfort, Jesse Bradley, Shane Idleman, and CBN's Billy Hallowell for a must-hear conversation.
And in the next chapter of "Jesus and the Prophecies of Christmas," we’ll explore key figures in the nativity story and how they reacted to the prophecies they were given by God and angels.
