Kingdom Living - Merry Christmas God with Us 3rd day of Ed's 62nd BD Chatter SOTD Luke 2:34 reveals what the Old Testament long prepared Israel to recognize: God would not remain distant but would step into history in human form. From the beginning, God walked among humanity (Genesis 3:8), showing His desire to dwell with His creation. Throughout the Old Testament, God appeared visibly as the Angel of the LORD speaking as God, receiving worship, and revealing divine authority (Genesis 16; Exodus 3; Judges 13). The prophets declared this event plainly: “The virgin shall conceive… and call His name Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14) and “Unto us a Child is born… Mighty God” (Isaiah 9:6). God’s glory once filled the Tabernacle and Temple, but in Luke 2 that glory now rests in a Child. Simeon understood this moment God had come not with thunder, but in flesh, revealing hearts, dividing truth from pride, and offering salvation to those willing to see.
