🌙 26 - Six months later, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to Nazareth, a city of Galilee, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And Gabriel came to her and said, “Greetings, oh favored one! The Lord is with you!” 29 But she was troubled at the saying, for she didn’t know what sort of greeting that might be. 30 And the angel said, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you’ve found favor with God. 31 And behold, you’ll conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom will never end.”

     34 Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I’ve never been with a man?” 35 And Gabriel answered, “The Holy Spirit {/Presence of God} will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, and so the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. 36 And look! Your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with she who was called barren. 37 For nothing is impossible to God.

     38 And Mary said, “Behold, I’m the handmaiden of the Lord. Let it happen to me as you’ve said.” And then the angel left.

26 - In the sixth month (of “John the baptist’s” being in the womb) the angel Gabriel was sent from God to Nazareth, a city of Galilee, 27 to a maid (maids were virgins) betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 Gabriel came and said to her, “Greetings, O favored one, the LORD is with you!”

     29 She was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to think what sort of greeting it might be. 30 And Gabriel said, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God! 31 And look! You will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. And the LORD God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

     34 Mary asked him, “How will this be, since I have never been with a man?” 35 Gabriel answered her, “The Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. And so the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. 36 And also, your relative Elizabeth, in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is now the sixth month with her who was said to be barren. 37 For with God, nothing is impossible.”

     38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the LORD. Let it be to me according to your word.” {According to what God wants.} And then the angel departed.

     06/16 - GospeL Verses

1 - Inasmuch as many have undertaken to write an account of the things that have occurred among us, 2 and just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and heralds of the message, 3 it seemed good to me also, having followed all these things closely for some time now, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so you may know for certain, concerning the things you’ve been taught.

     5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea (“the Great” Rev.12:4) there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in the commandments and statutes of the LORD. 7 But they had no child. Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years.

     8 And while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, 9 according to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the LORD to burn incense. 10 And all the people were praying outside at the hour of incense and prayer. 11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12 Which scared Zechariah, 13 but the angel said, “Don’t be afraid, for your prayer has been heard, Zechariah. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 14 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. 15 For he will be great before the LORD. He must not drink wine or strong drink, for he will be filled with the Holy Spirit(/Presence of God) even from his mother's womb. 16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the LORD their God, 17 for he will go forth before him (in his presence) and in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just. To make ready for the LORD a people prepared.” (For Messiah/anointed one, aka King, deliverer, savior.)

     18 And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I’m an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” 19 And the angel said, “I’m Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news. 20 Now you’ll be silent, unable to speak, until these things take place, because you didn’t believe my words {and might not again} which will be fulfilled in their allotted time.”

     21 The people were outside waiting, and were wondering about Zechariah’s delay in the temple. 22 When he came out, he was unable to say anything, and they realized he had seen a vision. He made signs to them but remained mute. 23 And when his time of service was ended, he went home. 24 And after these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she kept herself isolated, saying, 25 “Thus the Lord has done for me in the days when he looked upon me, to take away my reproach {embarrassment, feeling shamed} among the people.”

LUKE 1 1-25

  🍃🕊️12/17 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️

[Luke was a Greek physician who met Paul and traveled with him and company somewhat, and wrote this gospel account and the Book of Acts ..acts of some of the earliest believers.] 1 - Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as those who from the beginning of it all were eyewitnesses, and then messengers of the word/message they delivered to us, 3 it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time now, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 that you may have certainty concerning the things you’ve been taught.

     5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord. 7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years.

     8 Now while he was serving as priest before God when on duty with his division, 9 according to the ways of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple and burn incense to the LORD. 10 And all the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. 11 And there appeared to Zechariah an angel of the LORD standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12 And he was troubled and afraid when he saw him. 13 But the angel said, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear a son, and you shall call his name John. 14 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice, 15 for he will be great before the Lord. And he will not drink wine or strong drink, but will be filled with the Holy Spirit {/Presence of the LORD} even from his mother's womb. 16 He will turn many of the children of Israel to the LORD their God, 17 and he will go forth in the presence of him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient [apeithés - disobedient, unbelieving] to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.” {Prepared, 2Tim.3:16}

     18 And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I’m an old man, and my wife is advanced in years also.” 19 And the angel said, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news. 20 But listen, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things happen, because you didn’t believe my words, but they will be fulfilled on time.” {To prevent his further speaking unbelief/negativity?} 21 And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering what was taking him so long in the temple. 22 And when he came out, he was unable to speak, and they realized he had seen a vision. And he kept making signs to them for he was mute. 23 And when his time of service was over, he went home.

     24 After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she kept herself in isolation, saying, 25 “Thus has the Lord done for me in the days when he looked upon me to take away my reputation of being barren.”

GospeL Verses ~ Luke 1:26-38

26 - In the sixth month of that (Hebrew) year, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to Nazareth, a city of Galilee, 27 to a virgin (Rev.12:1) betrothed to a man of the house of David, named Joseph. And the maiden’s name was Mary. 28 The angel came to her and said, “Greetings, oh favored one, the Lord is with you!” 29 But she was troubled at the greeting, and tried to discern what sort of greeting it might be. 30 And the angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And listen, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and called Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David. 33 He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will never end.”

     34 And Mary said to the angel, “Since I’m a virgin, how will this be?” 35 The angel said, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Most High will overshadow you, and the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. 36 Your relative Elizabeth, has in her old age also conceived a son. This is the sixth month with she who was called barren. 37 For nothing is impossible with God.” 38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord. Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed.

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                ~ Hebrews 3:7-11 ~

7 - Therefore, as the Holy Spirit has said, “Today, if you hear his voice, 8 don’t harden your hearts as in the rebellion on a day of testing in the wilderness, 9 when your fathers put me to the test though they saw my works for forty years. 10 Therefore I was provoked [prosochthizó - displeased or offended] with them, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart. They have not known my ways.’ 11 So I swore in the wrath of me (imo, in his logic of cause and effect) ‘not are they entering my rest.’”
