Luke 2:34 “And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;”

   Though this sounds very generic, this is quite specifically fulfilled in the life of Christ. It is the church that saw the end of the religious structure of then present Israel. Yet, many in Israel experienced revival. The poor were once again cared for, and offered salvation.
   The sign of the death burial and resurrection of Christ was, and still is, spoken against by most of the Jews. Thus, like the other prophets, Simeon shares here truth about the Christ which would shortly come to pass.

Heavenly Father, You are so wise! You have told us the end from the beginning. For, indeed, Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The End. All praise to Him! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
