Luke 1:31 NIV

You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.

This is really an Old Testament verse because it was spoken before Jesus was born!  Have a great Christmas.

Jeremiah 31:15 NIV

“A voice is heard in Ramah,
mourning and great weeping,
Rachel weeping for her children
and refusing to be comforted,
because they are no more.”

After the Wise Men tricked Herod he fulfilled this verse. The boys (children) are referred to as the Innocent and there is a feast day for them.  This verse came in the middle of an encouragement (10 – 17) that was to bring hope to Israel.

Zechariah 9:9 NIV

Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!
Shout, Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,
righteous and victorious,
lowly and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

This “coming” verse was lived out by Jesus at Passover (Easter).  But many of the verses I looked through, and was referred to could be Christmas or Easter verses. 

It is not hard to think that Mary was on a donkey going to Bethlehem, and then a donkey carried Jesus and Mary when they came from Egypt back to Galilee.

Zechariah 3:8 NIV

“‘Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.

Zechariah, like Haggai, Ezra, and Nehemiah come after the fall of Jerusalem.  They are associated with Zerubbabel, a grandson of Jehoiachin, and a grandfather of Jesus.  Jehoiachin is a grandfather of Jesus, and is in the genealogies found in Matthew and Luke.  This encouragement comes during the rebuilding of the Temple, and was given to Joshua the High Priest.

I have found it amusing that Jesus would be referred to as a branch and He was trained to work with wood.
