Join Julia Jeffress Sadler as she takes us on an incredible adventure in Episode 143. Zechariah, a priest, is visited by the angel Gabriel while burning incense in the temple and told that his wife Elizabeth will have a son named John, who will prepare the way for the Messiah. Because Zechariah doubts the angel's words, he becomes unable to speak until the prophecy is fulfilled. Meanwhile, Gabriel visits Mary in Nazareth, announcing she will give birth to Jesus, the Messiah. When Mary visits Elizabeth, Elizabeth's baby leaps with joy, and Elizabeth is filled with the Holy Spirit. After John's birth, Zechariah's speech returns when he confirms the baby's name as John, just as the angel had said.
