So what do you know about baby Jesus? Do not refer to the movie “Talladega Nights”!
What about the real baby Jesus?
Jesus is talked about all over the Old Testament. Have you read the story about Issac, the son of Abraham? Isaac is a real person and I am sure a very interesting young man, but when it comes to scripture (the book about Jesus) Issac is a type of Jesus! Were there books during those days? Internet? The library? Maybe an Encyclopedia? No!
People had the primitive means of learning by storytelling. The Old Testament is full of prophecy about Jesus! Prophecy means truth about something or someone EXACTLY likes foretold in either a prediction form or presented in a predicted story form! So, as interesting as Isaac and Abraham might have been their stories were about God and his son! Typology about Jesus is in the entire Bible, and if you do not address typology throughout every verse you are very likely to not get the message of the story AT ALL! Why?
This is the same question the disciples asked Jesus. He told them because it is not for the wicked to understand my secrets or anything about heaven which is the home for his adopted children!
So, have you ever written a paper and followed the proper rules of writing a conclusion? Google it. One article titled “Five Things Not To Do In An Essay” codified this point you need to understand about the bible and its subject. Genesis is the introduction and Revelations is the conclusion! Revelations have been studied and reviewed so wrongly. It is NOT NEW MATERIAL; but, so many treat it as though the author violated several of the “Five Things Not To Do in An Essay”. However, Revelations does exactly what the article says ” not to do”! It is a repeat of the information in the body and has extra dramatic effect of emphasizing what was said before. John describes Jesus, heaven and situations that have ALREADY been mentioned and IS NOT 24th Century prophecy! So many people have made millions forcing false narratives about the information that the first chapter information is completely ignored! The very first incorrect thing we have been taught is the word “Revelations” means something new and different! If you ate apples as a baby from a Gerber jar and your mother and father ate apples and all the people before you ate apples would you experience something new and different by pulling an apple off of a tree and eating it? If you have never eaten an apple in heaven does not turn the subject of apples into new information! Somehow people believe it is new information because they read it like the lost and the secrets were not understood because the person did not read the scriptures as though there were “spiritual meanings ONLY FOR HIS CHILDREN”! IF you and get the same ” moral or “spiritual” message as the lost guy you should try a different approach such as TYPOLOGICAL! See my next article called, “Baby Jesus and the end of the O.T. as an example of many.
