| For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. |
| Isaiah 9:6 |
Christ’s coming was foretold, and with hope, the people of God waited for the arrival of the Son of God. Not knowing when or how, but trusting in the promise. As time went on, and the promise tarried, their hope endured.
