edit data

I grew up reading fantasy books and watching science fiction whenever I could. When I was young, I played role playing games within the fantasy genre. Close to the end of my military career, I started to write. It was something I always wanted to do but never did. I wrote several science fiction stories, but now I am focusing on epic high fantasy for young and new adults.

Matthew 1 – The Birth of our Lord Prophesied 735 years Before

As we pass through the Christmas season, which ends on January 6, it is important to remember that the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was prophesied 735 BC (Before Christ) by the Prophet Isaiah.

“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign; the young woman, pregnant and about to bear a son, shall name him Emmanuel.”
Isaiah 7:14 (Isaiah, CHAPTER 7 | USCCB)

Today, Mathew Chapter 1 is all
