2 Message from Heaven

Luke 1:23-56, TBC Book Two, Chapter 2
News spread about the priest who had seen a vision in the temple’s Most Holy Place. When Zechariah finished his week of service, he returned home to his wife, Elizabeth. Using his hands to show what had happened, Zechariah tried to explain about the angel and his message from God.

Not long afterward, Elizabeth did indeed become pregnant. With great joy she proclaimed, “The Lord has done shown me his favor and taken away my disgrace.”

When Elizabeth reached the sixth month of her pregnancy, the angel Gabriel also appeared to another person, a young woman named Mary, in Nazareth, a town in Galilee. She was engaged to a man named Joseph. Both she and Joseph were descendants of King David.

The angel appeared quite suddenly and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored by God! The Lord is with you.”
He appeared so quickly it startled her. But even more startling were his words. What did he mean? . . .
