Prophecies Regarding the Messiah

Which prophecy states that Christ would be born of a virgin?

1. Isaiah 9:6

2. Micah 5:2

3. Isaiah 7:14

4. Genesis 3:15

5. Genesis 49:10

Answer:

The prophecy that states Christ would be born of a virgin is Isaiah 7:14.

Isaiah 7:14 states: "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel." This prophecy foretells that the Messiah, who is Christ, will be born of a virgin.

This prophecy is significant as it emphasizes the miraculous nature of the birth of Jesus, fulfilling the prophecy in the Old Testament and validating the divinity of Jesus as the Son of God.

Furthermore, the fulfillment of this prophecy in the New Testament with the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem to the virgin Mary is a crucial aspect of Christian belief and the foundation of the story of Jesus' birth as the Savior of humanity.
