Do you need me to layout the problem? Either you don’t see it, or you’re avoiding it.
“Do you need me to layout the problem?”
There is no problem. Luke says he was waiting “for the consolation of Israel” (Isa. 40:1) and the Holy Spirit designated him as a “measuring” life for the coming of Immanuel. For him to understand who the “consolation” and “light” was he first had to know the scriptures (Isa. 9:2).
