Filled with the Holy Ghost - See Luke 1:15. And prophesied - The word “prophesy” means: To foretell future events. To celebrate the praises of God (see 1 Samuel 10:5-6; 1 Kings 18:29); then to, Teach or preach the gospel, etc. See the notes at Romans 12:6. This song of Zechariah partakes of all. It is principally employed in the praises of God, but it also predicts the future character and preaching of John. return to 'Top of Page'
