“And they shall know that I am the Lord—that I have spoken in my jealousy—when I spend my fury upon them.”
The Sunrise Is Coming
In Luke 2:57-79, Zechariah prophesies his John will prepare the way for the Savior. Rev. Paul van Engelenhoven describes the heavenly light of liberation, covenant fulfillment, transformation, and salvation.
“The sunrise shall visit us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”

Rev. Paul van Engelenhoven uses Luke 24:13-35, when Jesus spoke to the travelers, to highlight prophecies pointing to Jesus.

The Scripture Is Fulfilled
Rev. Victor Atallah presents the comforting prophecy in Isaiah 61:1-7 and the response by Jesus in Luke 4:14-22, “Today the Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” We learn there is no solution to our problems outside of God, and Jesus was the answer to the prophecy given to Abraham, “And in your offspring shall all of the nations be blessed.”
