He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of
    the Lord Almighty will accomplish this." - Isaiah 9:6-7.

Kitty, glad to do it. You know this is just a fraction of all of the prophecies fulfilled. It's fascinating to see them all - I think for those who don't yet believe in Jesus, it's a great eye opener for them; and often creates a hunger to know more!
