“Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According
to Your word; For my eyes have seen Your
salvation Which You have prepared before
the face of all peoples, A Light To Bring Revelation To The Gentiles,
And The Glory Of Your People Israel.”
To: ALL
WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From: GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be
with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full
of grace and truth.
Isaiah 7:13–14 (The Living Bible) 13
Then Isaiah said: O House of David, you aren’t satisfied to exhaust my
patience; you exhaust the Lord’s as well! 14 All right then, the Lord himself will choose the sign—a child shall be
born to a virgin! And she shall call him Immanuel (meaning, “God is with us”).
Micah 5:2–3 (The Living Bible) 2 “O
Bethlehem Ephrathah, you are but a small Judean village, yet you will be the birthplace of my King who is alive from everlasting
ages past!” 3 God will abandon his people to their enemies until
she who is to give birth has her son; then at last his fellow countrymen—the
exile remnants of Israel—will rejoin their brethren in their own land.
Luke 2:8–21 (ESV) 8 And in the same
region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by
night. 9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of
the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. 10
And the angel said to them, “Fear not,
for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who
is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will
find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 13
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising
God and saying, 14 “Glory
to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
15 When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds
said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has
happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they went
with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. 17
And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them
concerning this child. 18 And all who heard it wondered at what the
shepherds told them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things,
pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been
told them. 21 And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised,
he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the
womb.
Luke 2:22–40 (NKJV) 22 Now when the days of her purification according to the law of
Moses were completed, they brought Him
to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord 23 (as it is written
in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy
to the Lord”), 24
and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, “A
pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.” 25 And behold, there
was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout,
waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26
And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death
before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 27 So he came by the Spirit
into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him
according to the custom of the law, 28 he took Him up in his arms
and blessed God and said: 29 “Lord, now You are letting Your servant
depart in peace, According to Your word; 30 For my eyes have seen Your salvation 31 Which You have
prepared before the face of all peoples, 32 A light to bring
revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel.” 33
And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him. 34
Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child
is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which
will be spoken against 35 (yes, a sword will pierce through your own
soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” 36
Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of
Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from
her virginity; 37 and this woman was a widow of about
eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God
with fastings and prayers night and day. 38 And coming in that
instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked
for redemption in Jerusalem. 39 So when they had performed all
things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own
city, Nazareth. 40 And the Child grew and became strong in spirit,
filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
[Please Note: Always Read the
Word of God in Context, reading the entire chapter or book, asking the Holy
Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation. 2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
Philippians 2:9–11 (The Living
Bible)9 Yet it was because of this that God raised
him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other
name, 10 that at the name of
Jesus every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11
and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father.
