If God Came To Earth As A Man, Appearing In Human Flesh, How Would He Do It That All The World Would Know?

OLD TESTAMENT

"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though You are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for Me One who will be Ruler over Israel, Whose origins are from of old, from  everlasting." - Micah 5:2

(Prophesied c. 735 BC; fulfilled 4 BC, birth of Jesus)

"Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel." - Isaiah 7:14

(Prophesied c. 730 BC, fulfilled 4 BC, birth of Jesus)

“But the Lord will rise upon You, And His glory will appear upon You. Nations will come to Your light, and kings to the brightness of Your rising... They will bring gold and frankincense, and will bear good news of the praises of the Lord.” - Isaiah 60:2-3,6

(Prophesied c. 700 BC, fulfilled 2 BC, Magi's visit to young Jesus)

"Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem [458 BC] until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks [a]; the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times. And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off [b], but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, and till the end of the war desolations are determined. Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; but in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering [c]. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desolate." [d] - Daniel 9:24-27

(Prophesied c. 522 BC; [a] fulfilled 30 AD, ministry of Jesus; [b] [c] 33 AD, crucifixion of Jesus; [d] 70 AD, Roman destruction of Jewish Temple)

"... and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn." - Zechariah 12:10“I will put enmity between you [the Serpent] and the woman [Eve], and between your offspring and her offspring; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” - Gen. 3:15

(Prophesied c. 4000 BC [following Creation], fulfilled 33 AD, crucifixion of Christ)

Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied... : “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones, to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” - Jude 14-15

(Prophesied c. 3380 BC [pre-Flood], recorded in New Testament c. 60-80 AD, yet to be fulfilled)

“Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book! Oh that with an iron pen and lead they were engraved in the rock forever! For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth [a]. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God [b], whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. My heart faints within me!" - Job 19: 23-26

(Prophesied c. 1500 BC, [a] fulfilled in Jesus, [b] at Resurrection and Day of Judgement )

“I shall see Him, but not now: I shall behold Him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel.” - Numbers 24:17

(Prophesied c. 1400 BC, fulfilled 4 BC, birth of Jesus)

(Prophesied c. 520 BC, fulfilled 33 AD, crucifixion of Jesus )

NEW TESTAMENT

“She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: "Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which translated means, God with us." - Matthew 1:21-23

(Took place in 4 BC)

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise-men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, "Where is He that is born King of the Jews? For we saw His Star in the East, and are come to worship Him" ... After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. - Matthew 2:1-2; 11

(Took place in 2 BC)

And He was saying to them, "You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. Therefore I say unto you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins." - John 8:23-24

(Took place c. 32 AD)

“... and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. They said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the heavens? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in like manner as you have watched Him go into heaven.” - Acts 1:9-11

(Took place in 33 AD)

"...being in very nature, God, He did not consider equality with God something to be grasped to His own advantage; rather, He made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the Name that is above every name, that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. - Phil. 2: 6-11

(Written in 50 AD)
