Modern science has enabled us to identify fossils existence dating back millions of years and allowed us to research and gain knowledge over the years. And it is that same science that allowed us the privilege of knowing the approximate year when documents were written. In the ancient days Scribes penned history and modern science through the testing of the “ink” on Scrolls, provided the timeline to identify that the Book of Isaiah was written approximately 650 years BC.

Just imagine that 650 years before Christ was born the Prophet Isaiah wrote;

“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.” Isaiah Chapter 7 verse 14. (Immanuel means – God with us)

The best ending of Christmas day is to wash anew in the cleansing fountain. The precious blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ) slain removes the guilt, and purges away the defilement of our sins of ignorance and carelessness. Believer, come to this sacrifice continually; if it be so good tonight, it is good every night. To live at the altar is the privilege of the royal priesthood; to them sin; great as it is, is nevertheless no cause for despair, since they draw near yet again to the sin-atoning victim, and their conscience is purged from dead works.

“Gladly I close this festive day,

Grasping the altar’s hallowed horn;

My slips and faults are washed away,

The Lamb has all my trespass borne.”

Immanuel, God with us in our nature, in our sorrow, in our lifework, in our punishment, in our grave, and now with us, or rather we with Him, in resurrection, ascension, triumph, and Second Advent splendor.
