And between your seed and her Seed;

He shall bruise your head,

And you shall bruise His heel."
Gen 3:15

They pierced My hands and My feet;
Psalm 22:16


Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,

And He shall divide the spoil with the strong,

And He was numbered with the transgressors,

And He bore the sin of many,

And made intercession for the transgressors.
Isaiah 53:12

And because Jesus Christ fulfilled the prophecies, it is only through HIS name that repentance and forgivness of sins can be preached TO THE WORLD.

Jesus Christ is God's answer to sin and the only one through which we can be saved.
