Luke 2:36 “And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;”
It is hard to imagine a person that old back in that time period. But, there were those who made it to ripe old age due to strength and other factors. Imagine the delight of this dear woman to be able to see the Lord Jesus before going to heaven. Though we will know so much more and see so much more in heaven, there seems to be some special value to seeing or experiencing it here. Anna would have known all she needed to know about Jesus after leaving this world. Yet, the Lord allowed her to live longer than most people so that she might see the Lord here.
Heavenly Father, You are amazing! You know so much more than we could begin to imagine. Will we ever stop learning things from You? I think not. Even when we have been in heaven for millions of years, You will be wiser, and You will know more. Your infinitude is beyond us! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
