It has been the custom of God of intimating through the prophecies about the Holy persons who would have to come in this world. Such type of information is called a prophecy. Such prophecies were made not only relating to Jesus, but also prophesied in the case of many other prophets too before Jesus. And through these prophecies God informed their signs and some characteristics who would have to come in to this world. There are two important aims in prophesying before hand about the advent of the prophets who were to come into this world . One of them is that people might not be misled by the false prophets and another is that the true prophets might be recognised by comparing the qualities and signs as made mention in the prophecy.
What says prophecy about the advent of Jesus?, Does it say that God himself would transform as Christ? Or the person of Jesus was to appear in the capacity of Christ? Now let us examine carefully the proper answer to these questions in the light of Biblical verses.
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the prince shall be seven weeks... -Daniel 9:25
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall concieve, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. -Isaiah 7:14
According to the above verses it is made clear that “THE MESSIAH THE PRINCE SHALL COME”. But it did not mention that Jehovah himself would come. And also this prophecy makes clear that “A VIRGIN SHALL CONCIEVE AND BEAR A SON” but it is not mentioned as She shall concieve and bear a God. So let us examine another prophecy, which the Christian scholars generally propound to prove the divinity of Jesus.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the Government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called wonderful, counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The prince of peace. -Isaiah 9:6
In the above prophecy some attributes and capabilities of God are mentioned, and its last part makes clear that “HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED...” For example generally we call our children with some names such as Jesus or Mary etc... so do they truly become as Jesus or Mary? A person does not become a true person as Jesus or Mary by mere virtue of his/her being called in the name of Jesus or Mary .If any one regards them as true Jesus or Mary then what would we think of such ones? and what do we consider of their case? we declare such people as imprudents. The above prophecy denotes clearly that ‘His name shall be called’, and basing merely on this point how far it is correct to imagine Jesus as the incarnate of Jehovah or as God himself !? . Think seriously over this point.
WHOSE ADVENT THE PEOPLE WERE LOOKING FOR ?
About whose advent the people were looking forward before Jesus’ coming in to this world?. Did they expect that Jehovah would transfigure himself and manifest as Jesus?. Then observe the following verse of the Bible for the appropriate answer to this question.
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Isreal: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was reveald unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. -Luke 2:25
In the above verse the testimony of an important person has been mentioned and the speciality of that person was “JUST” and second he was “DEVOUT” also he possessed the Holy Ghost and he was not to die before he had seen Jesus Christ ; read carefully again the above verse and observe the clause wherein it has been stated as “BOFORE HE HAD SEEN THE LORD’S CHRIST”, but not as ‘BEFORE HE HAD SEEN THE LORD JEHOVAH” This fact had been revealed to him by the Holy Ghost, but it was not the interpretation of his confused dream. However , some believers say that Jehovah is Jesus..! you might have by this time guessed that by what Ghost had they been revealed Jesus as Jehovah whether by Holy or Evil. And we can understand according to the following verse that what was the expectation of the common people about the advent of Jesus.
The woman siath unto him, I know that Messiah cometh,
which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. -John 4:25-26
It was an ordinary woman, who spoke as above. Further she says clearly “I KNOW THAT MESSIAH’S COMETH WHICH IS CALLED CHRIST”, but she did not say “I KNOW THAT MESSIH’S COMETH WHICH IS CALLED GOD” .As a matter of fact, according to the above two verses we cannot find that people such as the devotees or righteous persons or the Holy persons or at least ordinary women or the contemporaries of Jesus and all others had not expected that God would descend in this world in the form of Jesus. However believing Jehovah was born as Jesus, and propagating like this is no more than wanton misinterpretation of the above Bible verses. This point can be understood more clearly in the following...
And the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son and shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the son of the Highest; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David. -Luke 1:26-32
In the former verse we have seen the testimony of one righteous person, who was just and filled with the Holy Ghost, and in the latter verse we have considered an ordinary woman’s expectation about the advent of Jesus .Now the above passage describes clearly regarding Jesus, just before nine months of his birth, that what would be his person and status. So this prophecy has accumulated the most significant place in the Bible.
If we carefully examine the above passage we can find out some important points .The first point of them is that this information had been given by the archangel of God ,whose name is Gabriel. And the second point is that he did not come of himself, but “WAS SENT FROM GOD”. This is to mean as saying that the message which he had given about Jesus, was revealed by God. And the third point is that the clause of the above verse makes clear saying as “AND BEHOLD THOU SHALT CONCEIVE IN THY WOMB,AND BRING FORTH A SON AND SHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS”. If at all the speculation of the church were true this clause should have been mentioned to read as “AND BEHOLD THOU SHALT CONCEIVE IN THY WOMB,AND BRING FORTH GOD AND SHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS” but it is not so. And the fourth clause says “AND HE SHALL BE CALLED THE SON OF THE HIGHEST”. But according to the belief of Gospel preachers this clause should have been mentioned to read as “AND SHALL BE CALLED GOD THE HIGHEST” but it is not so- why ? .And in the fifth clause we find saying as “AND THE LORD GOD SHALL GIVE UNTO HIM THE THRONE OF HIS FATHER DAVID” but according to the belief of Church this clause should have been mentioned to read as “ THE LORD GOD SHALL GIVE UNTO JESUS HIS THRONE”, but it is not like that. However , in spite of having contrary beliefs against the Bible’s word, taking Jesus as ‘our Saviour and we shall get salvation through him’ is no more than selfdeceit. Despite having beliefs in contrast to the imformations as provided by God about Jesus, can anybody profess himself a christian? No. On the other hand he ‘deprives himself of the religious right, to be called as christian. Ponder over these facts.
