The Birth of Christ Predicted

"... Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel." Isaiah 7:14
More than 400 years before it happened, the prophet Isaiah predicted the 'immaculate conception' and the birth of Jesus, The Christ. He even predicted His name, Immanuel, which means "God with us".

The best that we can do today with the use of modern medical science is confirm that a woman is pregnant and 'predict' her delivery date, her EDC (estimated date of confinement), based upon her LMP (last menstrual period). But at best that 'prediction is eight to nine months before it happens, not 400 years.

God revealed this to Isaiah. God was with him then and God is with us now.
