    Anna, The Prophetess [part 2] Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 8, 2022
     | 2,313 views

    As a prophetess, Anna receives insight into things that typically remain hidden to ordinary people; she recognizes this child and tells of his significance to selected people in Jerusalem.

    Regarding Anna, Luke provides three terse verses that manage to vividly depict her as a woman deserving the honor bestowed on the elderly in the ancient Mediterranean world (v. 36-38). She could well serve as the Bible's example of a remarkable woman and mother. The appositive prophetess heads ...read more

    In this exposition of Zechariah 10:5-12, God's promise to restore and reunite the northern 10 tribes with the southern 2 tribes is explored. Who are the Lost Tribes of Israel and how will they be restored to their homeland?

    Intro Our text last week was Zechariah 10:1-4. For context, we will begin by reading that passage. “Ask the LORD for rain in the springtime; it is the LORD who sends the thunderstorms. He gives showers of rain to all people, and plants of the field to everyone. 2 The idols speak deceitfully, ...read more
