The Season of Advent marks the beginning of the Church Year.  It is a season of preparation.  In the church, we see it as a time to prepare to receive the coming King, Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah.  In this unit we look back at a few prophecies that were told about Jesus' first coming as a baby in Bethlehem all the while we wait for His next advent, His 2nd coming, His return on the Last Day.
