BIBLE TEXT: “And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” (Luke 1:76-79 KJV)

BIBLE TWEET: Zacharias now turns the focus of his prophecy from Jesus, God’s Son, to John, his own son, who he not only predicts to be “the prophet of the Highest,” but also foretells to be the forerunner of Christ.

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: According to Zacharias, his son would prepare the way for the Lord to come by going before Him and preaching repentance for the remission of sins, so that the repentant would be ready for the coming salvation, since they would have already learned something about it, begun to come out of the shadow of darkness into the dawning light, and taken the necessary initial step on the way to peace with God.
