1 John 5…6 This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

The transfiguration – Matthew 17:1-6; 2 Peter 1:16-18..At the Transfiguration the Father again spoke from heaven saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” He said this is why we should listen to Jesus.

Testimony of Prophecy
Jeremiah 23:5,6 – Jeremiah prophesied. He predicted a King who would be called the Lord of Righteousness and would reign and prosper as a descendant of David. The fulfillment. Acts 13:22,23 – Jesus was born of the seed of David to be a Savior. [Matthew 1:1; Luke 3:31; Acts 2:29-36; Romans 1:3]
His birthplace. The prophecy. Micah 5:2 – Out of Bethlehem Ephrathah would come the ruler of Israel, whose goings forth have been from everlasting. This prophesies a ruler who actually existed from eternity but would come out of Bethlehem. The fulfillment. Matthew 2:1-6 – The Jews of Jesus’ day correctly understood this to be a prophecy of the birthplace of the Messiah/Christ. They even used it to direct the wise men to that place. Despite the fact that Joseph and Mary lived in Nazareth (across the length of Palestine from Bethlehem), yet Jesus was born in Bethlehem exactly as predicted.
Birth to a virgin..The prophecy..Isaiah 7:14 – The Lord gives a sign that a virgin would conceive and give birth to a Son who would be called Emmanuel (“God with us”). The fulfillment..Matthew 1:18-25 – Joseph was upset to learn that Mary had conceived before they had the physical union of marriage, but the angel explained that she had conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. He then cited this as a fulfillment of Isaiah 7:14. The fulfillment proves beyond doubt that the prophecy predicted conception by a woman who had no physical union with a man (cf. Luke 1:26-38).

The prophecy.. Isaiah 40:3,4 – Someone would come crying in the wilderness to prepare the way of the Lord, smoothing the rough places, straightening the crooked places, etc. [Malachi 3:1; 4:5,6]

And the Holy Spirit, who descended from heaven and rested on Christ at his baptism; who had borne witness to Him by all the prophets; and gave testimony to his resurrection and mediator office, by the gift of miraculous powers to the apostles.
