These special people are known in English as Zacharias and Elizabeth, and they were told by the angel Gavriel or Gabriel that Elisheva would soon end her barreness by having a son that they were to name Yohanan or John, and that he would come in the spirit of Eliyahu, or Elijah. Furthermore, Elisheva was a cousin to Yahshua's earthly mother Miryam, or Mary, and these people all spoke Aramaic.
So how does this connect me to the story, you may ask? Well, you see, my Grandfather on my mother's side was Assyrian, and the Assyrian people are Aramaic Speaking Christians that populate portions of Iran and Iraq, although many of them emigrated to America over the last century due to the Assyrian genocides that Radical Muslims waged against them in the first half of the 20th Century. My Grandfather was named Yochanan David, which was anglicized to John David, and he spoke fluent Aramaic, which was the same language that Yahshua and His Apostles spoke.

So in a very bizarre and miraculous way, my family's heritage and names intimately connect me to the Biblical Nativity story. What's more, I was born on a day corresponding with the 9th of Av on the Jewish Calendar, when the Jews solemnly commemorate the destruction of the First and Second Temples to Yahweh, which were utterly destroyed. These fascinating name connections led me to see some of the symbolic reasons why God may have chosen me to be of special service to Him, and the reason why I was born on the 9th of Av into a family with so many Biblical names attached to it.
Although the Jews mourn the loss of the First and Second Temples on the 9th of Av, it actually should be a day of celebration on the Christian and Messianic Jewish calendars. The reason for celebration is that these temples were destroyed because they were no longer needed after Eliyahu or Elijah came in the miracle child Yohanan or John the Baptist, and the Messiah Yahshua followed him in an even more miraculous fashion through a virgin's birth.
It should be a joyous day when we remember the fact that Yahshua singularly paved the way for all mankind to find salvation as grafted-in Israelites in the Kingdom of God by accepting His sacrificed blood covering that ties all believers in Yahshua to the Tribe of Judah and the family of King David - and David was my Grandfather's Last name! By having faith in Yahshua to do the same miracles that He did, we show our Tribal connection to Israel, and we rejoice in knowing that we will one day be raised up like He was into a perfected and imperishable flesh and bone body.

Advent blessings to all of you on this December 1st in 2019. My hope and prayer is that the Rapture will be soon, perhaps even this Chanukah 2019, as per the Solar Eclipse Sign in the Heavens that will occur in the Messianic Sign of Sagittarius or Asher on December 26th, 2019 - which is the 5th day of Chanukah this year. Interestingly, research I've done has led me to believe that Yahshua was miraculously conceived by the Holy Spirit in Miryam's virgin womb on the 5th day of Chanukah, which corresponds with the 5th or Servant Lamp on a Nine-branched Chanukah Menorah. So it could be tied to the Rapture as a sign that it is near.
I will write more about this soon. But in the meantime, I will keep watching the heavens, and reporting what I see on my Pillar of Enoch Ministry blog, and here on Facebook until the Lord takes me home to be with Him.
😍With Much Love From😍
