So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel", which is translated, "God with us."
The prophet Isaiah said it thousands of years before (Isaiah 7:14). God had a plan. In His timing it would come to pass. Today many are still looking for signs of things to come. Many are still looking for Jesus! Jesus Himself was rather plain when He discussed these very things. (Matthew 24:3-50) Daniel prophesied as well (Daniel 9:27, 11:31, 12:11, 7:13-14). We know where He will set foot (Zechariah 14:4) but we do not know when (Matthew 24:36).
Rather than look for a sign, simply trust His words. Do it now, as the Samaritan woman and her neighbors discovered in John 4.
"Now we believe,not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world. (John 4:42)
Are we so blind that we cannot see? Are we so drowned out by noise that we cannot hear? It's time to stop playing around and simply believe.
