Serve Without Fear
These verses are part of the prophecy of Zechariah about his new miraculous son, John the Baptizer - the cousin of Jesus, who has yet to be born. But notice how some of the words seem to indicate that the Savior of the world is already present! This shows that God had this plan from before time existed - He does not make up things as He goes along. His plan is solid - we can take comfort in that, assured that "all things work together for the good of those who love God" ~Romans 8:28
And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, and said:
"Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who hath visited his people, and wrought redemption for them:
And hath raised up a horn of redemption for us, in the house of David his servant: as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, who were of old,
that he would redeem us from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us.
And he hath exercised his mercy to our fathers, and hath remembered his holy covenants, and the oath that he sware to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us, to be redeemed from the hand of our enemies; and that we should worship before him, without fear, all our days, in rectitude and uprightness.
And thou, child, wilt be called a prophet of the Most High; for thou wilt go before the face of the Lord, to prepare his way, that he may give the knowledge of life to his people, and forgiveness of their sins, through the compassion of the mercy of our God; whereby the day-spring from on high will visit us, to give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death; and to guide our feet into the way of peace."
And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit. And he was in the wilderness, until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
~Luke 1:67-80
