• The Light to the Gentiles
• The Glory of the people Israel

Luk 2:29-32

“Now Lord, You are releasing Your bond-servant to depart in peace,
According to Your word;

For my eyes have seen Your salvation,

Which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples,

A LIGHT OF REVELATION TO THE GENTILES,
And the glory of Your people Israel.”

Simeon continues…

Luk 2:33-35

And His father and mother were amazed at the things which were being said about Him.

And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother,
“Behold, this Child is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel,
and for a sign to be opposed—

and a sword will pierce even your own soul—
to the end that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”

Simeon blessed Mary and Joseph.
Mary and Joseph were amazed at what was being stated.

Simeon then prophetically speaks to Mary, Jesus’ mother.

A word to the mother.

Hum…?

The Child was/is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel.
The Child was/is appointed for a sign to be opposed.
A sword would pierce the soul of Mary.
The end/purpose would be that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.

Whoa!

What does all this mean?

Think on it.

Mary did.
She pondered these things in her heart.
