his father Zechariah was filled with the
Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,
68 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has
visited and redeemed his people 69 and has
raised up a horn of salvation for us in the
house of his servant David, 70 as he spoke by
the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,
71 that we should be saved from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us; 72 to

show the mercy promised to our fathers and
to remember his holy covenant, 73 the oath
that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant
us 74 that we, being delivered from the hand of
our enemies, might serve him without fear,
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all
our days.
76 And you, child, will be called the prophet of
the Most High; for you will go before the Lord

to prepare his ways, 77 to give knowledge of
salvation to his people in the forgiveness of
their sins, 78 because of the tender mercy of
our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us
from on high 79 to give light to those who sit in
darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide
our feet into the way of peace.”
80 And the child grew and became strong in
spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the
day of his public appearance to Israel.
Psalm 132:11-12; 17-18 (ESV)
The LORD swore to David a sure oath from
which he will not turn back:
“One of the sons of your body I will set on your
throne.
12 If your sons keep my covenant and my
testimonies that I shall teach them,
their sons also forever shall sit on your
throne.”
17 There I will make a horn to sprout for

David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.
18 His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on
him his crown will shine.”

his arrows.
Numbers 24:8 (ESV)
8 Now
in putting everything in subjection to
him, he left nothing outside his control. At
present, we do not yet see everything in
subjection to him. 9 But we see him who for a
little while was made lower than the angels,
namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor
because of the suffering of death, so that by
the grace of God he might taste death for
everyone…
14 Since therefore the children share in flesh
Numbers 24:8 (ESV)
and blood, he himself likewise partook of the
same things, that through death he might
destroy the one who has the power of death,
that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who
through fear of death were subject to lifelong
slavery.
