And that's what we want to dig into. So I think that's a really good way to set up some of our understandings or assumptions as we go through these passages. So we wanted to start kind of with the understanding of prophecy in the Hebrew Bible, start with the understanding prediction and fulfillment. And now we want to read some Matthew.

As your kids get older, some things about parenting get easier, like the fact that a a couple of my kids are now driving, so I don't have to drive them everywhere that they need to go.

We've gone through a ton of cat litter over the years and the best for us by far is pretty litter. Yeah. And you know, I don't like cat

litter. I don't know about you, Jared, but it's like, you know, I don't want to look at that stuff. It's just an open thing. And even the lid, you can't hide it. It's in there. And then there's dust all over the place and the cat drags it. I just can't stand it.

Pretty Litter's non-clumping formula traps odor and moisture. It's lightweight, has low dust. So that's good for you if you don't like the dust. And one six pound bag works for up to a month, but I really appreciate the convenience of it. Pretty Litter ships free right to my door, never have to run out, don't have those litter bags taking up space. I don't have to lug those huge tubs from the store to

the car into the house. It just ships right to me. Pretty Litter is amazing. You have to try it. Go to prettylitter.com/normal people to save 20% on your first order and get a free cat toy.

Let's go in order of Matthew.

Matthew, right. So Matthew. You want me to read the first one? Why don't you read the first one? This is Matthew quoting a passage from Isaiah. Yeah. So here's

the Matthew part of that. All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet. Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call him Emmanuel, which means God is with us. All right. It's clear that Matthew is quoting from Isaiah 7, 14. This may be the most famous one that we talk about today. I think most people have gone to Christmas services and heard this. And I think what's going to be important here is for people to actually look at the context. Surprise, surprise. We're telling people to look at the context because when you just look at the text, some of this stuff is going to be pretty obvious.
