Gabriel and Zechariah

Have a good time together now to these scriptures with doing the IBC Cricket in this evening continuing on matters relating to Christmas and return to Luke chapter 1. I read from the S5 Luke 1 and 5.

In the days of Herod King of Judea. That was a priest name Zechariah of the division of abijah and a wife from the daughters of Erin and her name was Elizabeth. Hello bus righteous before God will get blamelessly and only Commandments and statutes of the Lord but I had no child is Elizabeth was bothering umbrellas for advanced in years has priest before God when is division was on juicy according to the custom of the priesthood. He was chosen by lot to enter the Temple of the Lord and burn incense outside of the hour of incense and there appears to be an angel of the Lord standing at the right side of the picture of Innocence Checker. I was trouble when he saw him and fear fell upon him. But the angel said to him do not be afraid Zechariah for your prayers being hurt and your wife Elizabeth. Are you a son and you shall call his name John? I don't have joy and gladness Emmanuel Rejoice that is where you'll be great before the Lord and he must not drink while I am a strong drink and we filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb. I just had many of the children of Israel to the Lord that God and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah the sun hosta fathers to the children and the Disobedience of the wisdom of the John Mayer write a whole lot of people for Pat Sajak her I said to the angel how shall I know this from an old mine and my wife is advanced in years the angel on Satine? I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news and behold you'll be silent and I able to speak until the day that these things take place because you did not believe my words which we will be fulfilled in that time. The people wife's name is Zachariah and I were wondering if you still like they lie in the temple and when he came out he was unable to speak to them and they realize they had seen a vision in the temple and he kept making signs of them and remained mute the time of his services and did he went to his house at least I use his wife Elizabeth conceived of a 5-month. She kept herself didn't saying that's the Lord has done for me in the days when he looked on me to take away my reproach among people pray to God bless his word to haha 20 we were looking at

But we have of the comment to the Shepherds and that's a message of the great joy that is coming through the coming of Christ is not that it's going to be covering all that. We are thinking of in the next couple of weeks and we saw a power pole with speaking of the great glad you're lost implied that God had established an eternity to bring forth his son and bring forth salvation lower in a similar see this evening, maybe look at the experience of Zechariah and he's meeting with Gabriel recorded for us hear about the guy in is all part of the Lord's plan of his purpose of bringing things to fruition. What is a festival of the two people off from Gabriel who are involved in this and that he's Zechariah and his wife Elizabeth II or III was a priest and he had that Priestly function to fulfill. His name also is very relevant for Italy is Jehovah has remembered Jehovah remembered and he is living in a cold with that name. Now we are told that he is a priest of the division of abijah what that is. Is that way back during the reign of David depriest. I'd be divided into different divisions and they would fill that functions in those divisions at the appropriate time. They had divided them into 24 divisions Sullivan at But after the Exile, when all the Jews return from Babylon to Jerusalem is 24 divisions with down to four division divided into smaller groups and each given particular names in sidemen the twice each year. Each division was on juicy in the temple on each time. The. Of service was one week. I don't mean to say that I wasn't working as priests for the other weeks of the year, but that one week particularly they would be in the temple or that time. They were not returned home and I will be doing very specialist task. This is what I was actually doing at this point in time. He was thought of that Division and fulfilling various towels to be a bit more that in the moment. If the temple when they say things happened to him as a son of his wife Elizabeth a guy that is quite significant. She is we ride the descendants of Adam are in a good sleep. I don't know Jesus was the first high priest and naive means god or my God is an oath in that means he is the absolutely reliable ones. So then I am so very sexy with your meetings in relation to what happened to them. But it's all the names of Costa mesa's your name for the difference. It is a fact that we are told that they were both righteous people write with both righteous before God we can blame listen all the Commandments and statutes of the Lord and very faithful people to fight with Kapil new show to serve the Lord in the why he does he had commanded them. Russian a more formal official why but Elizabeth giving support and help to him in that great concern was ugly and I had no children and they said they'd why didn't they accept it to Chris the knot with what the Lord and purpose but they would have nots desire to have that time when they did have their own children. Gillette shut those two incoming thinking now particularly of the service that Zachariah was fulfilling Festival. Of course, it was his and he wasn't undertaken. Jude's to eat just because she had to do so was undertaken that juicy because he delighted to do suck and it's a transponder on this particular occasion that he was the one who would tighten the incense burn the incense in the Holy place of the temple. And in the temple of course was divided into a number cost for the essential part was the two parts the holy place of the most. Holy place of the most holy place was where the high priest alone was able to answer just once a year for the holy Christ was where sudden priest run out to answering these with chosen by lot. And I was sleep the lights to be tended to those a table of showbread. And that was the Ulta of insects incense was to be prepared each type and presented each died at that was the toss that Zachariah was cooled upon to do and when, take the size it is understandable. To be chosen by lot to burn incense what's considered a unique privilege only once in a lifetime was a priest allowed to receive this honor ever off to it. He was considered rich and holy numerically speaking to be chosen by lot to burn incense was a privilege Shad by few. So that goes far beyond his actual carrying out its duties. It is a very significant event never happened to him before cuz I certainly wouldn't happen to him again. Just on that one occasion that he was a man of prayer that he was concerned about the things of God and he prayed about those things and what are the people at Pride Fest and we read the whole amount you chewed of the people we're praying outside at the door of the hour of incense. It was a stinking time and that I would be praying particularly the Lord with received what ship that that was a Joint inside. So cuz what size symbolize the prayer of God's people going up to his throat, so he was also involved in that sprayer. What I see is doing that she feels very much about the importance of the significance of that what she is doing. So that is the sudden appearance of an Angel bus 11 there. Standing on the right side of the OSHA of incense and just has not given side of the children start this morning with Mary and Joseph when the angel Gabriel appeared to that they were afraid I would consider it they were trouble and so was Zechariah and he just asked me there in Joseph and even more troubling because they truly godly people and he would have wondered what it was that was happening to him. And cuz we read rest well as a car I was trouble when he saw him and fear fell on hip but the angel said to him do not be afraid for your prayer has been heard on your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son. I shall call his name John the prayer had been heard the petition that he had made.

Obviously about the fact that I will childish childless and I was seeking the Lord be gracious and deal with no doubt also Zechariah realizing the importance of the toss that he was actually performing he was praying and son in the people and set in the need and although we not told I would suspect he was also praying for the coming of the Messiah.

This of course would have been taking up. March of the prayers of the true people of God that I promised would be fulfilled that the Savior would be born.

I'm sorry. He is encouraged. In an answer to that crap. He says you will have joy and gladness Emmanuel Rejoice at his bus and he was right before the Lord. You must not drink wine or strong drink anybody filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb anyone tried many of the children resale to the Lord that God and we got before him in the spirit and power Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers the children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just to make ready for the Lord of people prepared and that's a guy in his new trick revealed to him about the Sun that Elizabeth was too bad would be the cemetery. That's why no profit really of the coming of The Lord Jesus Christ and All That Remains is going to bring great joy to able to board for outside to go to vote right join Zechariah and Elizabeth and how long lost it was the one who is right before the Lord is everyone who exercised a powerful Ministry and we know of course from the information we getting late. John did exactly that but he was very effective age annoyed Herod of kush and what he said about it, but he did exercise before that. Very effective very powerful Ministry and he went out to the lord of the light on to be baptized by him showing their heads. I said the Lord himself came to John to be baptized and the other thing is that he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit. Turn from his conception and you will remember the lights are red berry has been told that her cousin Elizabeth was expecting a child that Mary went to visit her and that child get married in Elizabeth's room responded to the child in Marysville and a responsive is clearly a spiritual response, even though you're not yet being born either a jet being born and this glorious thing did take place and he did his Providence Church on many to the Lord and He rejoiced in this would have had a very deep effect upon Zechariah. And you do see that he is a bit troubled a bit worried. I'll see you in a bit doubtful how this would hold tight place. Besides to the angel how shall I know this? Ramen old mine and my wife is advanced in years. How can this be? You shouldn't really have doubts in any way whatsoever. If they are inside messenger coming from directly from the presence of God to Proclaim that they are the barisan you should have really accepted that I know that Mary had a slight query but she had no ground Pratt's bringing that because that has never happened before they never been if I should never has been sent but where is Zachariah Abraham's wife who gave birth to Isaac when she was very loud. So they was Sia indication. The gods could actually do that and be able to go to a man that he was he should have really Tonight or not places but a guy pronounces him and he said I stand in the presence of God speak to you and bring you this good use this is God revealing himself making its purpose and his chosen that Corona to be involved in that Gabriel is so very significant personal Angel himself. He is one of the seniors if it was appointed by God to bring these particular messages, but he goes on to sight and behold you'll be silent and I able to speak until the day that these things take place, but you did not believe my words wish will be fulfilled and not in that time. So that was a great a punishment.

Borg vs before that is Sun supposed to be cold John and when John was actually born I look to see if the night but that's what's sad is to be John Chad Community communicated that to her but I didn't type that and a second and he wrote down that his name is John and that was the name was given them that moment because he said he was received his speech by for the people who was waiting outside the temple. I was concerned because they represent in the incense was taking a lot longer than would normally take place. But when he did come out to the temple by making particular sign he indicated to them the something awful has happened. I realized that that being this vision. But even though he had received this glorious Vision, even though he had received this great promise we should have personally and it was so is his office priest was a Sox shirts really indicated the glory of God and what God was doing he still continued in his time of service and go straight hug you right in the end of the seven days and he went home already told Elizabeth Elizabeth, no doubt would have heard from those people that something quite strange and no doubt significant took place lost sector. I was doing that but you would know some know the full reality of that until he went home and shed those things with her and not important principle that the service of God. What do we do for him is of vital importance and we don't just give that up for any reason. Whatever and we read Elizabeth conceived and off to 5 month when she kept silent about that for 5 months of the film it took place and she did have Chris ain't the end to give birth to John as we are sad and she says the Lord has done for me and the days when he looks on me to try to take away my reproach among the people about she a jacket or rejoice in the Lord's goodness to them and continue to know blessing or curse has stayed continued to serve the Lord. I know him working out. His purpose is an amazing event and all these things they brought all these things together and the right time and the right place and demonstrates his power and Grace and glory in that. I don't know. What are you going to eat questions or comments at all? Things that we dealing with but very significant think none the less so I can he wants money, to please feel free to share that was with us.
