<div class="SSN_level2">A. Remote part of empire - two people.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Only two among a multiple - insignificant.</div>

|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Prophet 650 years earlier had said: "And thou Bethlehem of Euphonta," When I read these words uttered 650 years earlier, I see the insignificant person in this drama is the little puppet in the city of the seven hills called, Caesar Augustus, and the significant personalities, one the woman whose womb tabernacles the Son of God, and the man who guards her. Why did Caesar give edict for enrollment at that particular hour of history?</div>

|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. May be Gabriel?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. A Savior which is Christ the Lord.</div>
