Prophecies About Jesus that Came True

By Joyce Webb 2024

Prophecy #5

Jesus would be born in Bethlehem. Micah 5:2-5
“But you, Bethlehem Ephratah, though you are small among the clans (families) of Judah, out of you will come
for me one who will be ruler over Israel,……”

Luke 2:1- “And it came to pass—-Joseph —-went unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem—-with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. She brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger…”

“…the angel said unto them (shepherds) “For unto you —is born—this day—in the city of David—a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.”

800 years Before Christ was born—Isaiah said that he would be born to a virgin. Micah said he would be born in Bethlehem.

That prophecy came true.

Prophecy #6

Matthew 2:16-18 Tells of how Herod tried to kill the baby Jesus. He ordered that all boy babies —2 years old and under should be killed. This was a terrible sorrow for hundreds of mothers and families.

Matthew recalls a verse in Jeremiah 31:15—where it speaks of the sorrow of Rama for all her children. Ramah was the town where Samuel lived.

Matthew 3:16 “And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water; and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him; and lo a voice from heaven saying, ‘This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.’”
