Son of the Most High
-------------------------
The words of the angel Gabriel concerning the birth of the Master Yeshua the Messiah, recorded in
Luke 1: 32, tells us that:
(1) Yeshua will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High God (El Elyon).
This title reminds of the account in Genesis 14: 18-20 where Melchizedek, called Priest of the Most High God, blessed Abram in the Name of the Most High God. This mysterious Priest is described in Hebrews 7: 3 as "without father, without mother, without geneology, neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.". The book of Hebrews explains in 7: 17 that Yeshua has come in fulfillment of the prophecy of Psalm 110: 4, that he is the promised everlasting priest, not of the Levitical order, but is instead of the order of Melchizedek,
Psalm 110: 4 NKJV
“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”
(2) Yeshua will be made a King, like his ancestor David, by YHWH Elohim.
Luke 1: 32 goes on to tell us that he will be King over the descendants of Jacob. However, he will be no ordinary king. Instead he will be king forever. His kingdom will never end!
Prophet of the Most High
----------------------------
The words of Zechariah concerning his son, John the Baptist, in Luke 1: 67 - 69 GNT.
(3) verses 68-75 tells us that the ancient promise of Most High God is being fulfilled starting that day.
