THERE was in the days of Herod, the King of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 2. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. Keep those statements in mind as we move forward, as you will learn they have great meaning. 3. And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest s office before God in the order of his course, according to the custom of the priest s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple JOVA. And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of the offering of incense. 4. And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing over the altar of incense. And when Zacharias saw, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias, for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth, shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Iohn. 5. And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth; for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall neither eat flesh meats, nor drink strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother s womb. Think about this: in Verse 2 we were told Zacharias and Elisabeth were righteous because they kept God s commandments and ordinances, and now we are given a clue as to part of the commandments and ordinances they kept. The son Elisabeth will bear who shall be called Iohn, was not to consume flesh meats nor drink strong drink, and he would be filled with Holy Spirit from his birth. Being Iohn was not to consume flesh meats or strong drink, means that was part of the commandments and ordinances of God, which means Zacharias and Elisabeth did not consume flesh or drink strong drink. As we progress through the Lections (Lessons), you will learn much more about God s commandments and ordinances, which are fully addressed in Lection (Lesson) 46. 6. And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God; And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. The children of Israel were disobedient in many ways as you will learn, but based upon that which we know right now, any of the children of Israel who consumed flesh or strong drink, were among the disobedient. 7. And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well stricken in years. And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand
in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to announce unto thee these glad tidings. 8. And behold, thou art dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, then shall thy tongue be loosed that thou mayest believe my words which shall be fulfilled in their season. 9. And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he tarried so long in the temple. And when he came out, he could not speak unto them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; for he made signs unto them, and remained speechless. 10. And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house. And after those days, his wife Elisabeth, conceived, and hid herself five months saying, Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men. LECTION (LESSON) 2 THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF IESUS THE CHRIST 1. AND in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God, unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Ioseph, of the house of David; and the virgin s name was Mary. In Esaias 7:13-15, the Lord told the house of David He would give a sign wherein a virgin shall conceive in the womb, and shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Immanuel, and He will eat butter and honey. Ioseph was of the house of David, and Mary was the virgin foretold in the prophecies the Lord gave in Esaias 7:13 15. 2. Now Ioseph was a just and rational Mind, and he was skilled in all manner of work in wood and in stone. And Mary was a tender and discerning Soul, and she wrought veils for the temple. And they were both pure before God; and of them both was Iesu-Maria who is called the Christ. Why would Mary and Ioseph be pure before God? The answer lies in that which Gabriel told Zacharias and Elisabeth: he told them they had obeyed God s commandments and ordinances, which means, so had Mary and Ioseph. And, part of that purity would have been the fact they did not consume flesh or strong drink. Pay particular attention to this statement, and of them both was Iesu-Maria who is called the Christ for as you will learn in a short while, that is an extremely important statement which contradicts lessons taught in traditional Bibles, regarding the miraculous conception of Jesus. 3. And the angel came in unto her and said, Hail, Mary, thou that art highly favored, for the Mother of God is with thee: blessed art thou among women and blessed be the fruit of thy womb. 4. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God and behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth a child, and He shall be great and shalt be called a Son of the Highest. 5. And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. That statement in Verse 5 given by Gabriel to Mary, fulfilled the Lord s prophecy given to Jeremias in 23:5, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will raise up to David a righteous branch, and a king shall reign and understand, and shall execute judgment and righteousness on the earth.
6. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon Ioseph thy Spouse, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, O Mary, therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Christ, the Child of God, and his Name on earth shalt be called Iesu- Maria, for he shall save the people from their sins, whosoever shall repent and obey his Law. Just a little bit ago, when addressing Verse 2 above, I mentioned Jesus conception. Gabriel s statement, The Holy Spirit shall come upon Ioseph thy Spouse, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, O Mary, therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Christ, the Child of God, tells us Holy Spirit will come upon Ioseph, Mary s spouse, and that holy thing she will give birth to will be called the Christ. That statement leads us to believe that Ioseph would be Jesus earthly father. You will learn more about that in a little bit. There s another part of Verse 6 that is extremely important that is not disclosed in the New Testaments of the traditional Bibles, and that is this statement given to Mary by Gabriel, he shall save the people from their sins, whosoever shall repent and obey his Law. Why is that statement so significant? It is due to the fact that Gabriel told Mary he would save the people from their sins who repent and obey His Law. His Law is not in traditional Bibles, as it was eliminated from traditional Bibles through craft utilized by authors of the New Testament. You will learn much more regarding the craft utilized to hide the fact Jesus gave new law, when we conduct Scripture Study of Lection (Lesson) 25, The Sermon on the Mount (Part 1). 7. Therefore ye shall eat no flesh, nor drink strong drink, for the child shall be consecrated unto God from its mother s womb, and neither flesh nor strong drink shall he take, nor shall razor touch his head. This section of Verse 7, the child shall be consecrated unto God from its mother s womb, and neither flesh nor strong drink shall he take, ties directly with this statement Gabriel made to Zachariah in Verse 5 of Lection (Lesson) 1: he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother s womb. And, this section of Verse 7 above, neither flesh nor strong drink shall he take, ties directly with this section of Verse 5 of Lection (Lesson) 1, wherein Gabriel told Zachariah, he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall neither eat flesh meats, nor drink strong drink. God s Law of Love, which is in Lection (Lesson) 46, tells us we are not to consume flesh or strong drink, and to be pure in God s eyes, a soul must obey those commandments. 8. And behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. This section of Verse 8 above is very revealing to those who have studied the New Testaments of traditional Bibles, And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. Mary told Gabriel that she would take care of her cousin Elisabeth during her pregnancy, and thus would be away from Ioseph while doing such. Verse 20, which follows soon, tells the time she would gone: about 3 months. Why is that statement very revealing? It is due to the fact the authors of Matthew 1:18 21, chose to utilize her absence to make plausible their falsehood that Jesus conception had been a miraculous conception through Holy Spirit, as is revealed in the sections highlighted in red below. Matthew 1:18-21
18: Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. You will learn shortly that statement is a falsehood of men. 19: Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. As you have already learned, Mary went to take care of her cousin, Elisabeth, and Ioseph, did not put her away privily. 20: But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. Again, you will learn shortly that statement is a falsehood of men. 9. And in the same day the angel Gabriel appeared unto Ioseph in a dream and said unto him, Hail, Ioseph, thou that art highly favored, for the Fatherhood of God is with thee. Blessed art thou among men and blessed be the fruit of thy loins. What did Gabriel mean by his statement, Blessed art thou among men and blessed be the fruit of thy loins? He was addressing the fact Joseph s loins would produce the seed for a birth. 10. And as Ioseph thought upon these words he was troubled, and the angel of the Lord said unto him, Fear not, Ioseph, thou Son of David, for thou hast found favour with God, and behold thou shalt beget a child, and thou shalt call his name Iesu-Maria for he shall save his people from their sins. And, Gabriel s statement in Verse 9 above, is further clarified by this statement he made in Verse 10 above: thou shalt beget a child, and thou shalt call his name Iesu-Maria for he shall save his people from their sins. It is now unmistakably clear Ioseph will beget the Christ child, and He was not conceived by the seed of Holy Spirit as is told in Matthew 1:18. Further, the Old Testament makes very clear Holy Spirit is a female, and so does Jesus, in lessons he gave in His Gospel, the Gospel of the Holy Twelve. 11. Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was written in the prophets saying, Behold a Maiden shall conceive and be with child and shall bring forth a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God Within Us. This section of Verse 11 above, Behold a Maiden shall conceive and be with child and shall bring forth a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel, also fulfills the Esaias 7:13-15 prophecy, in which the Lord told the house of David He would give a sign wherein a virgin shall conceive in the womb, and shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Immanuel. 12. Then Ioseph being raised from sleep did as the angel had bidden him, and went in unto Mary, his espoused bride, and she conceived in her womb the Holy One. And, finally, this statement in Verse 12 above, removes any and all ambiguity regarding the conception of the Christ child, Ioseph being raised from sleep did as the angel had bidden him, and went in unto Mary, his espoused bride, and she conceived in her womb the Holy One. 13. AND Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judea and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. And this statement in Verse 13 above, removes any and all doubt as to why Mary had left Ioseph after conceiving in her womb the Christ child, Mary arose in those days and went into the hill
country with haste, into a city of Judea and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. Verse 13 totally invalidates this statement made in Matthew 1:19: Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 14. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the power of the Spirit and spake, with a clear voice and said, Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 15. Whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped for joy. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Holy One. 16. And Mary said: My soul doth magnify Thee, the Eternal, and my spirit doth rejoice in God, my Saviour. For thou hast regarded the low estate of thy handmaiden; for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 17. For Thou that art mighty hast done to me great things; and holy is Thy Name. And Thy mercy is on them that fear Thee from generation to generation. 18. Thou hast shewed strength with Thy arm; thou hast scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 19. Thou hast put down the mighty from their seats and exalted the humble and the meek. Thou hast filled the hungry with good things, and the rich Thou dost send empty away. 20. Thou dost help thy servant Israel, in remembrance of thy mercy: as Thou spakest to our ancestors to Abraham, and to his seed forever. And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house. 21. And these are the words that Ioseph spake, saying: Blessed be the God of our fathers and our mothers in Israel: for in an acceptable time Thou hast heard me, and in the day of salvation hast Thou helped me. 22. For Thou saids t I will preserve, and make thee a covenant of the people to renew the face of the earth: and to cause the desolate places to be redeemed from the hands of the spoiler. 23. That thou mayest say to the captives, Go ye forth and be free; and to them that are in darkness, Show yourselves in the light. And they shall feed in the ways of pleasantness; and they shall no more hunt nor worry the creatures which I have made to rejoice before me. 24. They shall not hunger nor thirst any more, neither shall the heat smite them nor the cold destroy them. And I will make on all My mountains a way for travellers; and My high places shall be exalted. 25. Sing ye heavens and rejoice thou earth; O ye deserts break forth with song: for Thou O God dost comfort Thy people; and console them that have suffered wrong.
