Word of the Day - 12/23/2008

Prognostication

Prognostication is 1. the act of prognosticating. 2. a forecast or prediction.

The Gospel of Matthew asserts that the Virgin Birth of Jesus fulfilled the prognostication of the Prophet Isaiah.

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 1:22-23, NASB)

Matthew quotes Isaiah 9:6-7 in this passage.
