“Gabriel!”
“Yes, my Sovereign,” responds the angel who stands in the presence of God.
“It’s time.”
“Time?”
“It’s time to begin the redemption of My people and of all peoples. That which We have promised and prophesied from the very beginning will now unfold. Everything is in place.” So spoke the Lord God.
“What is my task, my Sovereign?”
“Go to one Zacharias who is a priest and is even now ministering in the temple. He has been praying for a son as his wife Elisabeth is barren. We will give them a son whose name he will call John. And he will be the one to come in the spirit and power of Elijah to make ready a people for the Lord, the Anointed. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother’s womb and will drink no wine or liquor. He will be a great man.”
“Yes, my Sovereign,” replied Gabriel.
“But be prepared.”
“Prepared?”
“Since he and his wife are well advanced in years, he may not believe you.”
“I see.”
“So, you may need to work a little miracle there to help convince him.”
“Understood.”
“And by the way.”
“Yes, My Sovereign?”
“Remind him that this message is truly good news, not only for him and his wife, but for many others.”
“Indeed it is, My Sovereign. Indeed it is”
