Prophecy that God would come to earth as a human male
Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Fulfillment that God came to earth as a human male
Mark 1:1
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God
John 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:14
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
(Verses quoted are from the ESV)
God had an amazing plan for restoring the relationship fractured in the Garden of Eden! At the right time, He would come Himself. God, maker of heaven and earth, would take on the flesh of man - become God incarnate - and then die for our sins, paying our penalty so we could be with Him. What amazing grace!
Grace and truth.
