Messiah Yahshua is Born Matthew 1-2 Luke 2 A cherub of Yahweh appeared to Joseph in a dream telling him not to be afraid to take Mariam as his wife. He said to Joseph the babe she is going to have is created from the Holy Spirit. She will have a Son and you shall call His name Yahshua. He will save His people from their sins. Joseph woke from his dream and did as the cherub told him. He took Mariam as his wife. Joseph and Mariam went to the city of David called Bethlehem. She had her son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger because there was no room where they could stay. Shepherds were in the same area living in the fields and watching over their flocks of sheep by night. The glory of Yahweh shined brightly on them and they were very afraid. A cherub told them not to fear. For, behold, I bring good news to you, a great joy, to the whole world. Today is born to you in the city of David, the Savior, who is Yahweh, the Messiah. This is a sign to you: You will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in the manger. Suddenly, there was with the cherub a multitude of cherubs, praising Yahweh and saying, glory to Yahweh in the highest and peace on earth, good will among men. The cherubs disappeared and the shepherds went to see the babe lying in the manger. Yahshua was born in the days of Herod the king. Magi (wise men) arrived from the east to Jerusalem to find out where the King of the Jews was born. They saw His star in the east and came to worship Him. Herod heard this and he was troubled and all Jerusalem with him. He gathered all his priests and scribes and asked them where the Messiah was to be born. They told him in Bethlehem, in the land of Judea. Herod asked the magi when they saw the star. He told them to go to Bethlehem and ask about the child. Then bring back news to him so he could worship him. The magi left Herod and saw the star shining in the east. It came and stood over where the child was. They rejoiced with great joy! Going into the house they saw the child with His mother Mariam. After falling down they worshipped him. They gave gifts to Him, gold and frankincense and myrrh. Being warned by a dream not to go back to Herod, they went back to their own country in another way. When they left, a cherub of Yahweh appeared to Joseph in a dream telling him to take the Child and Mariam and go to Egypt. They were to stay there because Herod is looking for the Child to kill him. Joseph took the Child and Mariam by night and left for Egypt. They stayed there until Herod was dead. Herod was very angry when he found out what the magi had done and he killed all the boys in Bethlehem and the areas nearby, from two years old and under.
