What does the Bible say about Simeon waiting for Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes Simeon as a just and devout man who awaited the consolation of Israel, filled with the Holy Ghost and promised that he would not die before seeing Christ (Luke 2:25-35).

In Luke 2:25-35, Simeon is presented as a distinctly righteous person who epitomizes the faithful remnant of Israel, waiting in hope for the coming of the Messiah. He was just and devout, which indicates not only his moral integrity but also his commitment to God’s worship. The Holy Ghost was upon him, revealing that he would not see death until he had seen the Lord's Christ. This emphasizes God's faithful promise to His elect, affirming that Simeon, like all believers, had a divinely ordained destiny to behold Christ, the promised Savior. Simeon’s life exemplifies the innate desire of believers to seek God and His promises.
