ZionsCRY ARCHIVE of prophecies and past issues:
Birth of Jesus, circumcized, Luke 2:
Birth of Jesus, Magi, Herod, Matthew 2:
Story of Yeshua Jesus birth:
And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. She gave birth to her first Child, a Son.
She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them.
That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep.
Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord's glory surrounded them.
They were terrified, but the angel reassured them saying.
Dont be afraid! I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior, the Messiah,
the Lord has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! And you will recognize him by this sign:
You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men, sang the angels.
Luke 2
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon His Shoulder.
And His name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, The mighty GOD,
The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
I AM the Way the TRUTH and the LIFE. NO one comes to the Father but through Me.
John 14:6 Jesus speaking - Jesus is the ONLY Way to GOD, there is NO other way
Yeshua Jesus circumcized, Luke 2
On the 8th day, when it was time to circumcise Jesus, Joseph and Mary took him to the temple in Jerusalem to present him to the Lord.
Righteous Simeon was waiting there for the consolation of Israel (Messiah).
GOD had revealed to him that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
When the parents brought in the Child Jesus, Simeon took Him in his arms and praised God saying,
Lord, now let Your servant depart in peace, for my eyes have seen your Salvation.
Then Joseph and Mary returned home to Nazareth in Galilee.
The Flight to Egypt
Matthew 2
Now when they had gone, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said,
Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you,
for Herod is going to search for the Child to destroy Him.”
So Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and left for Egypt.
He remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet
OUT OF EGYPT I CALLED MY SON
Herod Slaughters Babies
Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged, and sent and
killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity, from two years old and under,
according to the time which he had determined from the magi.
Then what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled:
A VOICE WAS HEARD IN RAMAH, WEEPING AND GREAT MOURNING,
RACHEL WEEPING FOR HER CHILDREN AND SHE REFUSED TO BE COMFORTED,
BECAUSE THEY WERE NO MORE.
But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, and said,
Get up, take the Child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel; for those who sought the Child's life are dead.
So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.
But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there.
Then after being warned by God in a dream, he left for the regions of Galilee, and came and lived in a city called Nazareth.
This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophets: He shall be called a Nazarene.
Rachel was the beloved wife of Jacob, whose name was changed by GOD to ISRAEL
Therefore Rachel weeping is Israel weeping. This is quoting Jeremiah
Jeremiah 31:
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, Magi (wise men) from the east came to Jerusalem and asked,
'Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.'
The Magi followed the star until it stopped over the place where the child was. You, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are not least among the rulers of Judah, for out of you will come a Ruler who will be the shepherd of My people Israel.
Jesus was several months old, possibly near age 2 when the magi arrived. After they left, God warned Joseph to flee to Egypt,
because wicked King Herod was killing children age 2 and under. The Magi (probably Persian astronomers) did not visit
Jesus in Bethlehem, but in Joseph's home in Nazareth. Joseph needed those gifts to afford this trip.
The gifts were symbolic of Jesus sacrifice on the cross.
Myrrh represented His burial - embalming. Look up frankincense and myrrh in scripture.
Frankincense is a sweet savour unto the LORD in sacrifice. the magi knew this.
The wise men, from Matthew 2:
Luke 2 - story of Jesus birth:
Cmas:
What is this coming up from the wilderness like columns of smoke,
Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all scented powders of the merchant? Song of Songs 3

Addressed to ISRAEL
Arise, shine, for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
For behold, the Darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people,
but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.
Isaiah 60:1
