Altar of Incense | Prophecy of the Birth of Christ

Randy McCarthy introduced services reading prophecy from Malachi chapter 3.  He then opened services reading from Luke Chapter 1 about Zacharias and the Altar of Incense.   This is background information about the parents of John the Baptist in that Zacharias was a priest and his responsibility was to burn incense upon entering the temple.  He then spends some time explaining elements of the outer room of the temple that was visited by priests on a daily basis.  Returning to Luke, he tells of the angel foretelling of John’s birth from Elisabeth who was barren.
