There is no escaping the prophecy of the great Hebrew prophet, Isaiah:

“For unto us a child is born [the baby born in Bethlehem], unto us a son is given [the eternal Son of God come as a man]: and the government shall be upon his shoulder [so the promised One is the Messiah]: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father [so God is a Father and has a Son whom He gives to be the Messiah, and they are one], the Prince of Peace [this is the one who will bring everlasting peace].” (Isaiah:9:6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

To be God’s chosen people is a great honor, but it holds responsibilities as well as blessings. That the Jews would be scattered all over the world, hated, persecuted, and killed was more than prophecy – it was God’s judgment upon them for rebellion and for the worst rebellion of all: rejecting their Messiah. Yet through that rejection would come the crucifixion – and through that the salvation of all who would believe.
