The document discusses biblical passages that prophesy and describe the first coming of Christ. It notes that the Old Testament predicted a messiah would come from Judah and reign over Israel and the nations. John the Baptist and others prepared for Christ's coming by proclaiming that the Kingdom of God was at hand. The document outlines how Christ fulfilled prophecies by healing the sick, claiming to be the Son of God and King, and being recognized by Simeon and Anna in the temple as the long-awaited salvation for Israel.

not err therein.

shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there;

obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and
sighing shall flee away.
