When the harbinger of Christ was born, his father Zacharias named him John just as the Angel told him. As soon as he did, Zacharias' tongue was loosed and he prophesied. The subject of his prophecy was the Lord Jesus Christ. What he spoke of him concerns God's gracious promises fulfilled unto his people according to the promised seed of woman made in the garden and purposed of God before the foundation of the world. This promised seed is Christ Jesus, our Lord.
