Zacharias prophesied about Jesus’s role in redemption and His coming to rescue God's people from their sins.
In his prophecy recorded in Luke 1:67-79, Zacharias acknowledges the pivotal role of Jesus in God's redemptive plan. He heralds Jesus as the 'horn of salvation' raised up in the house of David, emphasizing His power and significance. The prophecy articulates that Jesus will deliver people from their enemies and enable them to serve God without fear (Luke 1:74). Furthermore, the prophecy not only looks forward to Jesus's ministry but also indicates how His coming fulfills the promises made to the patriarchs. This establishes Jesus as central to God's covenantal promises and underscores the continuity of God's redemptive work throughout history.
