The Birth of Christ - Day 3 and 4 Scripture Writing

Hello, everyone.  Today I am sharing my December 3 and 4 scripture-writing journal pages. Both scriptures are prophecies about the birth of Christ.  

Micah 5:2 is a significant Old Testament prophecy foretelling the Messiah's birth in Bethlehem Ephrathah, a small town, despite its insignificance. It promises this ruler's origins are "from of old, from ancient times," indicating divine, eternal existence, and foretells the coming of a leader to rule Israel, a prophecy Christians believe was fulfilled by Jesus Christ, as noted in Matthew 2:6, which is scheduled for my Day 25 journal page.

Zechariah 9:9 is a prophecy about a coming king for Zion (Jerusalem) who is righteous, victorious (with salvation), humble, and rides on a donkey, signifying a peaceful, humble arrival rather than a warlike one, and is famously identified in the New Testament as Jesus's Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, fulfilling Messianic expectations for a just ruler.

 

I like to add printables from my digital stash to make the page more interesting:

• Illustrations and word art - Deanna's Printables Facebook Group
• Label - Antique Images (blank), Pouring My Art Out for the Lord (prophecy label)
• Title Square - Self-made
• Numbers - Vintage Glam Studio

I use the Authorized King James Version of the Bible to write scriptures.
