The Coming Of The Messiah

 Perfect and complete revelation of the living God

With the end of the old Testament before the birth of Christ there is a gap length in 400 years and
"silence" from God. However, God knew what He was doing, and as the Apostle Paul said "when the fullness of time has come" God sent Christ into this world.
As one Professor from College read "the history of the world civilization" during a study in Tehran many years ago, the most appropriate time with political, cultural, social and safety points of view for the parish.

There was a time when He came, The Savior in the world . It was the best time in history that  was supposed to be able to take the message of Christ.

The Prophet:
Why did He come? Is He like a long chain of prophets who came before and carried the message of God, or there is something else?

On the one hand, the prophet, of course,  fulfilling the prophecy of Moses concerning the  Prophet who is to come. In fact, the people of  Jesus's time heard it and said, "This is truly the  Prophet That should come into the  world" (John 6:14; 7:401), and later the Apostle  Peter confirmed it during a sermon in Jerusalem-  Salima (Acts 3:22).
 Finally Jesus also used this title twice (Mark6:4;  Luke13:33).

But in what sense is He a prophet?

Christians believe that, although true the fact that He was born of the virgin Mary, this was not the beginning of Its existence.
Christ was always and always have been. It is the Word of God (Kalimatullah) Says Injil: 
"In the beginning was the word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. It was in
the beginning with God... And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:1-2,14).

The uniqueness of Jesus not only in what he prophesies about the future, how other prophets, or brings a message from God, like other prophets, but God speaks to us through all His being and personality. Jesus is the image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15), and God spoke in past through prophets, in these last days speaks to us through the Person of Christ (Hebrews 1:1-2).

Through His life, teachings, miracles, and Its presence on earth, Christ shows us what God is and that there is a God who loves us and cares about us. The acts of Christ are acts of God,
 and therefore, as God's representative He bears a perfect and complete revelation of the living God.
