Bible Readings
God was silent from the last book, Malachi all the way until He spoke to the High Priest Zechariah.
An angel, Gabriel said that Zechariah and Elizabeth would have a baby in their old age. This baby would be special and he would lead the way for God’s Son who was soon to be born.
Their baby was named John, he loved God and God’s people. John would baptize them in water as they announced their belief in God. Zechariah’s son is known as John the Baptist.
