Messiah coming — horn of Israel to spring forth (Sanh. 98a)
This lesson explores how Ezekiel 29:21 connects to Jesus.

He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David.
The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah • Appendix IX
Messiah coming — horn of Israel to spring forth (Sanh. 98a)
Ezekiel prophesied a horn — a symbol of power — growing for Israel. Zechariah declared that God raised up a horn of salvation in David's house. That horn is Jesus, the strength of God made flesh.
Father, You kept every genealogical promise. Let Ezekiel 29:21 fulfilled in Luke 1:69 assure me that Your word never fails.
