Bible Question:
I'm preparing a lesson on the manger nails. It relates to nine prophecies in the old Testament and nine fullfillments in the New Testament that shows the legitamacy of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. However I'm searching for any biblical evidence of the significance of nine nails for the manger and the cross. Help. |
Bible Answer: There is no Biblical support for this ... The Nine Nails is a commercial enterprise. There aren't nine prophecies about His birth, I count five - seed of woman (Gen 3:15 - Mat 1:23-25) - virgin born (Isa 7:14; 9:6 - Mat 1:23-25) - born in Bethlehem (Mic 5:2) - Immanuel (Isa 7:14 - Luk 2:7) - Children will be killed (Jer 31:15 - Ma 2:16-18) This one was later - Presented gifts (Psa 72:10 - Mat 2:11) This one even later - Called out of Eyypt (Hos 11:1 - Mat 2:14-15) ... so maybe seven |
