The purpose of this book is simple: to journey through the remarkable and (literally) astronomically remote events that led to the single, solitary Son of Man walking among us. And in doing so, to take a journey similar to the first authors of antiquity, a journey of everyday language and thought to match ourselves and those who today want to know what all the hubbub is surrounding Jesus. As you learn about just twenty-four of the prophecies surrounding the Messiah, you will walk through the history, the archaeology, the language, and the life of those who lived thousands of years ago so that you can better know them in terms that you can understand. More importantly, you will glimpse at why they did.
