“Wow, ya’ll are really doing politics on Christmas. I logged on to my own page out of boredom and lo and behold. Haha, God Bless you all..and please, lighten up if just for tonight. Jesus is king, the government shall be upon his shoulders, as prophesied in Isaiah.. what better promise can God offer? It’s not about you or me, but about him. For unto us a child is born!! Merry Christmas!!”
This was a post by a Facebook friend last night in one of the many groups to which I belong. It was not directed at me specifically but to those in the group in general.
I understand her sentiment. I really do but I too was engaged in politics yesterday. The verse to which she refers is this; “For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government shall rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.”Isaiah 9:5-6
Isaiah is one of 5 books of major prophecy. It’s in the Old Testament. That verse is one to which Christians point as the foretelling of the coming of Jesus.
