Luke 1:11 “Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.”
The right side of the alter was a place of preference. Zacharias immediately knew what was happening. Though fear entered his heart, it was the fear of God not a phobia. There had not been such communication from God since the end of the Old Testament.
Heavenly Father, thank You for communicating with us. You could have just left us to figure it out. But we never would have. We need Your revelation. We will praise You for it all of our lives. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
