As you’re driving down the road, you’re going to notice a lot of different types of signs. Some signs are instructional, like “stop” or “yield.” They’re telling you something to do. 

Other signs are informational; they’re communicating some kind of relevant information to you. They might say the name of the road you’re on, or what the street up ahead is called. 

And then you have the invitational signs; the gym I used to go to had a sign that said “You are now entering the judgment free zone.” 

And then you also have warning signs, the signs that try to caution you that there is some kind of danger or impending doom; they’ll say “the road is out ahead” or “abandon all hope ye who enter here” or “Welcome to California.”

In the Bible, God would use particular things called “signs” to direct people to spiritual truth. For example, the miracles of Jesus were often called “signs” because they authenticated His deity. In other words, they proved that he was God. Another type of “sign” in the Scripture is prophecy: the foretelling of future events. Telling us about things that have not yet happened, the things yet to come. 

By telling us what would happen before it happened, God proved that He is real, that He is the one who made these things happen, and that He knows the future, and that we can trust Him.

In the Christmas story, in the book of Matthew, we see 7 prophecies that are fulfilled in the first coming of Christ. But not just 7 prophecies; we see 7 different categories of prophecy. 7 different ways that an Old Testament prophecy can be fulfilled. 

So today we’re going to answer some questions like:

• How did the wise men know that the star above Bethlehem meant the Messiah was there?
• Why did those wise men bring myrrh to the baby Jesus?
• Can a prophecy be fulfilled more than once?
• You’ll find all that out and MORE today on the God and His Prophets podcast.
