Nine Days Of Prophecies...

There are a lot of Christmas carols to help us get in the spirit of Christmas, this time of year. Yesterday, I heard one of the all time favorite carols "Twelve Days Of Christmas" off my pandora station. When I thought how cool would it be to do a countdown like the song, but instead do it of the prophecies that tells us about the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Cool, uh? But than I thought how much cooler would it be, to be able to do it as a countdown towards Christmas Day. During my research yesterday, I found nine of the prophecies and we have nine days left til Christmas Day, so lets begin with our countdown of "Nine Days Of Prophecies."


First day of prophecies our true God gave to us is in Genesis 49:10.

The scepter or leadership shall not

depart from Judah,

nor the ruler's staff from between his feet,

until Shiloh (the Messiah, the Peaceful One)

comes to Whom it belongs, and Him shall be the obedience

of the people. (AMP)

Jacob was giving his blessings to his twelve sons, which they were also called the twelve tribes of Israel. Jacob told Judah, that his descendants would be rulers but one of his descendant will be the ultimate ruler. I love how the Amplifed translation saids, "the Messiah, the Peaceful One." This blessing would also be a prophecy of Jesus's birth. We can look at the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1:1-16 and Luke 3:23-34.

Tomorrow will be the second day of prophecies....
