Fundamental Beliefs of Seventh-day Adventists

Predictions About a Saviour
God promises that the Saviour-Messiah--the
Anointed One--would come through Abraham's
line: "'In your seed all the nations of the earth shall
be blessed'" (Gen. 22:18; cf.12:3).
Isaiah prophesied that the Saviour would come
as a male child, and would be both human and
divine: "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son
is given; and the government will be upon His
shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful,
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince
of Peace" (Isa. 9:6). This Redeemer would ascend
the throne of David and establish an everlasting
government of peace (Isa. 9:7). Bethlehem would
be His birthplace (Micah 5:2).
The birth of this divine-human person would be
supernatural. Citing Isaiah 7:14, the New
Testament states, "'Behold, a virgin shall be with
child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name
Immanuel,' which is translated, 'God with us'"
(Matt. 1:23).
