The Angel Gabriel announces that 'It is time!'

Advent 2, Part 5, Luke 1

While Zechariah is talking with the Angel Gabriel, people are getting restless outside.

Advent 1 Part 1 The messiah

Explanation that Advent is mere tradition; 

and a clear Definition of The Messiah (Christ).

Advent 1 Part 2 Promises

What did people expect from a Messiah? God's promises to Satan, Abraham and Moses, as recorded in the bible. (Genesis 3, Genesis 12, Deuteronomy 18)

Advent 1 Part 3 2 Samuel 7

The Promise to David by God is another basis for the claim of Jesus as the Anointed Leader of Israel: the Messiah

Advent 1 Part 4: 2 Kings 16

Who was Ahaz?  What did HE ever do?

Advent 1 Part 5 Prophecy (Isaiah 7, Micah 5)

Why Does Ahaz matter in the Christmas Story?
What are the special circumstances surrounding the birth of Jesus which God shared before they happened?

Covenant Part 1: Consequence and Covering

What was up with Moses collecting the blood from the animal sacrifice? (which was not killing an animal to please God, but instead an appropriation of the butcher shop for a religious purpose)

Covenant Part 2: Covenant - Chosen

God's Chosen People are established by Him, not by the people.

Covenant Part 3: Commitment

Do you live your life like a person who is committed to Jesus.  
Would it mean more if we had been speckled with the blood of an animal sacrifice?
Or if you had signed on the dotted line?  
What is the basis of our belief and behaviour?
