Understanding the Trinity: Jesus is The Almighy God (The Messiah)

Understanding the Trinity: Jesus is The Almighy God (The Messiah): "In the Old Testament, there are a number of prophecies that refers to the promised Messiah or the anointed one (Isaiah 7:13,14, Luke 1:26-35..."

Jesus is The Almighy God (The Messiah)

In the Old Testament, there are a number of prophecies that refers to the promised Messiah or the anointed one (Isaiah 7:13,14, Luke 1:26-35, Psalm 72: 10,11, Matthew 2:1-11, Isaiah 9:6-7, Luke 2:11).

To get a better understanding of the Messiah, let’s put together some Old Testament and New Testament scriptures in a juxtaposition.
