Intro: To prepare us for His second coming, 712 years before birth of Christ, Isaiah. God knows everything, said a virgin would conceive, 785 yrs. before His birth, Hosea. 538 years to Daniel very day. So God spoke in intricate detail giving over 300 facts about Christ.

Just as sure and certain as God spoke of His first coming, He has spoken of His second coming.
