Document Summary
The early jewish christians used prophetic texts from the hebrew. Bible to profile the person of jesus as the messiah. If jesus was a candidate to be the messiah, he needed to fit the profile of the messiah. Therefore the lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son, and shall name him. She will bear a son, and you are to name him jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. all this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the lord through the prophet: For a child has been born for us, a son given to us, authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named wonderful counselor, His authority shall grow continually, and there shall be endless peace for the throne of david and his kingdom.
