I would refer you to Isaiah 53 which is widely interpreted as predicting the birth of Christ. Also keep in mind that there are many passages in the bible which have both straightforward contemporary (i.e. at the time of writing) meanings and broader after-the-fact interpretations. If I mis-understood your statement, Charles, I apologize. Ron Guest ihnp4!druxj!cosmos
