The Ancient Prophecy
Main Point: The Ancient prophecy of the Lord’s was fulfilled so that we can have and be the light for revelation for salvation. 1. Simeon saw the Messiah Child, Jesus, and his prophecy was fulfilled to him personally. (verses 26-28) 2. The Lord’s prophecy was that the Messiah would bring the light for revelation (unveiling) for salvation and the glory of God to Israel. (verses 29-32) Isaiah 42:6-7; 49:6; 60:1-3 3. Simeon prophesies that this Messiah, Jesus, would cause the falling and rising of many Israelites and be a sign spoken against – revealing the hearts of many. (verses 34-35) (He prophesies to Mary that a sword will pierce her soul too)
