GABRIEL
( ‘man of God’ or ‘strength of God’). One of the two angels whom the Bible
names: the other is *Michael. He is sent to interpret Daniel’s vision (Dn. 8:16) and to give him the prophecy of the 70 weeks
(Dn. 9:21). [1][1] Wood, D. R. W., & Marshall, I. H. (1996). New Bible dictionary (3rd ed.) (389). Leicester, England;

Fear
– Angels of the Lord consistently say “Do not be afraid”
– John the Apostle says, “Perfect love casts out fear.”
– Jesus says, “do not let your hearts be troubled”
![Page 9: Mary Believes God’s Message](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813b21550346895da3dadf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What might God ask you to do that would cause you great fear?
Are you willing to let his Love overcome your fear?

Favour – Greetings, O favoured one… you have found favour with
God…
– Cf Daniel 9:23 and 10:11 – “O, Daniel, man greatly beloved”
– Is there anything extraordinary about Mary or Daniel?
• Differences:– Peasant girl – Noble Courtier– Free - Slave– Woman - Man
![Page 11: Mary Believes God’s Message](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813b21550346895da3dadf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Favour – Greetings, O favoured one… you have found favour with
God…• Similarities
– Family line of Judah– God honouring lifestyle choices– Both were young when there lives were intervened
upon for God’s purpose
• Two things make them extrodinary:– They were faithful in little things
• Most importantly, they were chosen by God

Have you experienced God’s Favour? Pray Luke 2:42 for yourself
and your family!!! Pray it for your Pastor and the Church!!!

Family: The Throne of His Father, David
a. Family Trees – Matthew vs Luke
i. Differences – 1. Matthew goes to Abraham; Luke goes to Adam
2. Matthew starts with Abraham working forward; Luke starts with Jesus working backward
ii. Emphasis – 1. Matthew – to primarily a Jewish audience
2. Luke – to Theophilus, a Greek speaking gentile.

b. Significance hard to imagine – Bethlehem as the place of the Family
i. Do you have a favourite family spot? i. homestead?
ii. family grave plot?
iii. village named after you like Newellton or Lockeport?
ii. Imagine having thousands of years of known family history – not six or seven generations like we have in the “New World”
c. The promise to David” 2 Samuel 7:16 16 uAnd your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me.2 uYour throne shall be established forever.’ ”
![Page 16: Mary Believes God’s Message](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813b21550346895da3dadf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What is in your ancestry? Are there curses to break and overcome in
you and your generation? Are there promises and assets that would greatly advance the Kingdom?
![Page 17: Mary Believes God’s Message](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813b21550346895da3dadf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Forever – And of His Kingdom there shall be no end…
a. No coincidence that Gabriel is given the privilege to let Daniel, Zechariah and Mary know about Jesus!
b. See some of the Prophesy in the Word regarding the everlasting Kingdom:
Dan. 2:44; 7:14, 18, 27; Heb. 1:8;
Rev. 11:15; [John 12:34]
![Page 18: Mary Believes God’s Message](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813b21550346895da3dadf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
c. Consider the prophesy in Daniel 9:24-25 – esp reference to Most Holy and Messiah the Prince
Daniel 9:23–25 (NKJV)
23 At the beginning of your supplications the command went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved; therefore
consider the matter, and understand the vision:
![Page 19: Mary Believes God’s Message](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813b21550346895da3dadf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
24 “Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in
everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy, And to anoint the
Most Holy.
![Page 20: Mary Believes God’s Message](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813b21550346895da3dadf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
25 “Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To
restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be
built again, and the wall, Even in troublesome times.

Will you live your life with eternity in mind? Can you see
