King James Version
26 And in the sixth month
the angel Gabriel was sent from God
unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man
whose name was Joseph,
of the house of David;
and the virgin's name was Mary.
We mentioned in the first post that SPIRIT led us to Luke.
Wherein many verses referred to Galilee.
Which inspired us to create this blog.
That we may know why Galilee matters so much.
To give you proof, from Scripture.
Here's what we found:
Luke 1:28-33
King James Version
28 And the angel came in unto her,
and said,
Hail, thou that art highly favoured,
the Lord is with thee:
blessed art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him,
she was troubled at his saying,
and cast in her mind what manner of salutation
this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her,
Fear not, Mary:
for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold,
thou shalt conceive in thy womb,
and bring forth a son,
and shalt call his name Jesus.
32 He shall be great,
and shall be called the Son of the Highest:
and the Lord God shall give unto him
the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever;
and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Luke 1:34-35
King James Version
34 Then said Mary unto the angel,
How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 And the angel answered and said unto her,
The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee,
and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:
therefore also that holy thing
which shall be born of thee
shall be called the Son of God.
Luke 1:36-37
King James Version
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth,
she hath also conceived a son in her old age:
and this is the sixth month with her,
who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Luke 1:38
King James Version
38 And Mary said,
Behold the handmaid of the Lord;
be it unto me according to thy word.
And the angel departed from her.
"That holy thing" is JESUS.
JESUS came from Galilee.
It was prophesied:
Isaiah 9:1-2
King James Version
9 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such
as was in her vexation,
when at the first he lightly afflicted
the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
and afterward did more grievously afflict her
by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan,
in Galilee of the nations.
2 The people that walked in darkness
have seen a great light:
they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death,
upon them hath the light shined.
JESUS is that LIGHT.
John 8:12
King James Version
12 Then spake Jesus again unto them,
saying,
I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.
JESUS is that "mighty God".
Isaiah 9:6-7
King James Version
6 For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace
there shall be no end,
upon the throne of David,
and upon his kingdom,
to order it,
and to establish it with judgment and with justice
from henceforth even for ever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Now we can turn to the gospel of Luke.
And see what it says about JESUS.
