Unto Us A Child Is Born

Unto Us A Child Is Born 

Zola Levitt

Zola discovered, quite by accident, 

an amazing series of biblical "coincidences." 

It seems that every one of us, as we develop in the womb, 

follows the schedule of the seven feasts of Israel that God 

gave to Moses on Mount Sinai. This half-hour program 

illustrates the surprising similarities of these two chains of events, 

each established by God according to His purpose.

   

PSALM 139

You have searched me, Lord,

    and you know me.

 

You know when I sit and when I rise;

    you perceive my thoughts from afar.

 

You discern my going out and my lying down;

    you are familiar with all my ways.

 

Before a word is on my tongue

    you, Lord, know it completely.

 

You hem me in behind and before,

    and you lay your hand upon me.

 

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,

    too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit?

    Where can I flee from your presence?

 

If I go up to the heavens, you are there;

    if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

 

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,

    if I settle on the far side of the sea,

 

even there your hand will guide me,

    your right hand will hold me fast.

 

If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me

    and the light become night around me,”

 

even the darkness will not be dark to you;

    the night will shine like the day,

    for darkness is as light to you.

For you created my inmost being;

    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

 

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

    your works are wonderful,

    I know that full well.

 

My frame was not hidden from you

    when I was made in the secret place,

    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

 

Your eyes saw my unformed body;

    all the days ordained for me were written in your book

    before one of them came to be.

 

How precious to me are your thoughts,^[a] God!

    How vast is the sum of them!

 Were I to count them,

    they would outnumber the grains of sand—

    when I awake, I am still with you.

 

If only you, God, would slay the wicked!

    Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!

 

They speak of you with evil intent;

    your adversaries misuse your name.

 

Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,

    and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?

 

I have nothing but hatred for them;

    I count them my enemies.

 

Search me, God, and know my heart;

    test me and know my anxious thoughts.

 

See if there is any offensive way in me,

    and lead me in the way everlasting
