Mary’s Prophecy and Elizabeth Prophesies

Luke 1:26-56

March 26, 2022 • Arthur Bailey • Luke 1:26–56

Luke’s writing contains events and accounts that no other Gospel records and covers the beginning of what would be considered the New Testament writings to the end of the Acts of the early Assemblies. Immediately after Luke gives his reasoning for writing his Gospel account, he provides fascinating insight to a private encounter and conversation that occurred in the Temple Holy Place between the Priest Zechariah and the angel Gabriel. 
 
Six months after the angel Gabriel delivered a prophetic word to Zechariah, Gabriel reveals himself to Mary, a virgin that had been espoused to a man named Joseph, and spoke a prophetic word to her directly from YeHoVaH. Mary was troubled by Gabriel’s initial greeting, but soon became excited by the news the angel shared with her about her future and about her Cousin Elizabeth’s condition.
 
In preparation for the teaching, Mary’s Prophecy and Elizabeth Prophesies, please read Luke 1:26-56.
