The Prophet of the Most High
“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited his people and brought them redemption. He has raised up for us a horn of salvation in the house of his servant David (just as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets long ago), salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us—to deal mercifully with our fathers and to remember his holy covenant, the oath he swore to Abraham our father, to grant us that we, having been rescued from the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life. And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the presence of the Lord to prepare his ways, to give his people knowledge of salvation through the remission of their sins, through the tender mercy of our God, by which the sunrise has visited 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.”
The Righteous Zechariah, Luke 1:68-79
