Kovacs then jumped back to the New Testament story of Jesus' birth to connect the dots and unlock the prophecy.

"So these shepherds then 'reported the message they were told about this child' in Luke 2:17."

The Gospel of Luke states: "They reported the message they were told about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them" (Luke 2:17–18 CSB).

"So this is really a prophecy for the FUTURE. God is going to raise up people from the grave to shepherd other people who didn't understand the message in the first round. And all they that HEARD – you gotta finally hear the message of God with your ears to hear – you're going to wonder at those things that were told. It's amazingly good news when you learn that you can live forever and not die.

"Everyone's afraid of death right now. That's why the world is in the state we're in. Everybody's panicking. 'Will I have enough food? Will I have enough money to pay my bills and all that?' Because we're afraid of dying. But when you're not afraid of dying, that's where the victory comes. The victory has already been won by Christ. He has been raised from the dead, and He is the Captain of our salvation (Hebrews 2:10). He is the Forerunner, so that WE are going to be raised from the dead too."

"So once the shepherds return [in the future], they're going to broadcast the message to the world, just as [other previous shepherds] did 2,000 years ago to all these physical people. We're gonna do it again in the future." WATCH THE INTERVIEW:

In "Reaching God Speed," the author writes: "The shepherds (all leaders of God's people in this current time) are going to return in the future, to glorify and praise God for all the things they had seen and heard. This return will take place when they are resurrected from the dead and raised to immortal life to report the message again, instructing people a second time on how to receive eternal life!

"The good news given to the shepherds of the past is also the good news about the shepherds of the future. Those shepherds are anyone and everyone who believes the message of God, repents of their sin (the breaking of God's laws) and allows Jesus – the true food, the true bread from heaven found in the house of bread in the city of the beloved – to fill their own body and literally become part of them."

"Thus, the glorious end of our story has been declared  from the very beginning of Jesus' physical life," he adds.

The author, perhaps best known for his "Shocked by the Bible" series, also explains why the Bible makes such a big deal out of the Son of God being placed in a manger.

"A manger is simply a feeding box for animals. It's where the food is," Kovacs says. "Even in basic French class, one of the first verbs we all learn is 'manger,' which means 'to eat.'

"And why is this significant? Because when we connect the dots from other parts of Scripture, we realize that this child lying in a feeding box in Bethlehem (which means the 'house of bread' or 'house of food') is more than just a typical baby. He is our true food, the real bread from heaven, as is stated numerous times in the Gospel of John. We don't get eternal life unless we feed on and follow His teachings."

Endorsed by Chuck Norris and other Christian champions, "Reaching God Speed" is nothing short of a breakthrough work, as it probes God's hidden messages embedded in popular movies, hit songs from (Adele and the Beatles to Frank Sinatra and Led Zeppelin), the stories we tell our children, everyday phrases we all say, historic news events, famous commercial campaigns, nature itself, and typical life activities such as such as inhaling every breath you take, sleeping, waking up and many more.
