JESUS: THE PREQUEL Explores Jesus's Life Before Bethlehem

January 18, 2025

If Jesus is as good as He is said to be, and Van believes that He is, why aren't more people flocking to Him? He has a theory that people may know about Him from His 33 years on Earth, but that's only part of His true identity.  When people learn about Him from the beginning before He came to Earth, it sheds new light on those 33 years and who Jesus REALLY is! Many readers say they have a new understanding and love for Him after reading the Prequel. 

This question, fundamental to understanding the Christian faith, delves into the nature of Christ and His existence before His earthly incarnation. 

Where Was Jesus Before His Birth in Bethlehem?

Biblical scripture provides ample evidence regarding Jesus's pre-existence. For instance, in the Gospel of John, Jesus himself refers to the glory He shared with the Father "before the world existed" (John 17:5). This passage alone suggests that Jesus was not only present but also actively involved with God in the creation and governance of the universe. Moreover, the opening verses of John's Gospel (John 1:1-18) identify Jesus as the Word (Logos) who was with God and was God from the beginning, through whom all things were made. This indicates a divine role far beyond the human life He would later lead.

But that's just the beginning.
