l05-w-c04proseRule of Prophecy
The more details you insert into a prediction, the less likely it is to be fulfilled. Let’s look at three of them.

Micah 5:2
Luke 2:4, 5, 7 tells us that Mary and Joseph were in Bethlehem when Jesus was born.

Daniel 9:25 predicted the very year the Messiah, the anointed one, would come.
Daniel 9:25

Isaiah 7:14 predicts a virgin would conceive, bear a son, and call his name Immanuel.
Isaiah 7:14
Matthew 1:23 tells us Mary was indeed a virgin when Jesus was born and that he was called Emmanuel.

l05-w-e23readingl05-w-e24cloze→ fill_blankBehold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, with us.
l05-w-c06proseProphecy was fulfilled. Jesus was to be a prophet (Deuteronomy 18:15; Luke 24:19). He was to be born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23). He was to be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2; Luke 2:4, 5, 7). He was to be anointed in A.D. 27 (Daniel 9:25; Luke 3:21). He would be Emmanuel which interpreted is, God with us (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23).
l05-w-e25cloze→ fill_blankAnd God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, hath sent me unto you.

My Impressions
reflection6 itemsChoose from the following phrases those which best describe your impression of each of the statements below.
l05-i-s1statement→ choiceOne third of the world’s population claims to be Christian. Yet they are divided into 38,000 denominations whose teachings contradict one another. It is important, then, for us to look directly at what Jesus actually taught.
Matthew 7:21-27; 1 John 4:1; Matthew 24:24; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15; John 5:39; 2 Timothy 3:16; Luke 24:25-27 quoted at worksheet 13, 14, 17
l05-i-s2statement→ choiceFive times in the book of John Jesus refers to Himself as the Son of God. If He was not the Son of God, then He was a liar and not a good man, for lying is not the practice of a good man. But if Jesus taught the truth, then He really was the Son of God!
John 3:18; John 5:25; John 9:35-37; John 5:36-38; John 11:4 quoted at worksheet 5, 12
l05-i-s3statement→ choiceJesus said, “the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.” Jesus’ enemies tried to attribute His works to the power of the devil, but even they had to acknowledge, “this man doeth many miracles.”
John 5:36; John 11:47
l05-i-s4statement→ choiceWhen Jesus commanded “Search the scriptures”, He made it clear that He believed in and promoted the Old Testament. He even gave several Bible studies directly from the Old Testament.
John 5:39; Luke 24:27; Luke 24:44-46 quoted at worksheet 13, 18
l05-i-s5statement→ choiceThe Old Testament prophecies about Jesus’ life gave a great deal of detail! As a result, Peter wrote, “We have also a more sure word of prophecy” [that is, an even more sure line of evidence] “whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.”
Micah 5:2; Daniel 9:25; Deuteronomy 18:15; Psalms 22:1, 7, 8, 14-18; Psalms 69:20, 21; Isaiah 53:3-12; 2 Peter 1:19
l05-i-s6statement→ choiceThe Bible says of sin, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” And it says of eternal life, “He that hath the Son hath life.” If Jesus really was the Son of God, then these offers to those who accept Him are genuinely valid!
John 8:36; 1 John 5:12
