The Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ, reported in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, is one of the most famous and essential Christian beliefs. But did it really fulfill Isaiah’s prophecy, “Behold a virgin shall be with child…”? This video demonstrates that the Hebrew text, apologetics, the context of Isaiah’s prophecy and Old Testament history all provide convincing reasons why this prophecy cannot possibly be referring to Jesus Christ. This video also demonstrates that the first century church had some very good reasons to manufacture the belief that Christ's mother was a virgin.
