What todayintheword.org said about itself, 2007
Quoted from the site's AboutUs wiki page in each year it changed (1 version). These are the page's own words at the time, not AboutUs's assessment. New words · dropped words
2007
Outside of the Gospels, some of the most informative writing about Christ was delivered seven hundred years before He was born. The virgin birth, Christ's suffering on the cross, and the redemptive message of the gospel are all foreshadowed in Isaiah.
