Prophecy of Generations

When God has sent his messenger with a prophecy, it of applies beyond the one He has sent the propehcy. The prophecy is not just for the recipient, but for the generations to come. In Luke 1:31-33, the angel Gabriel proclaims to Mary that " you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.” The prophecy of Christ affected more than Mary and Joseph, but continues to bless God's people even in this generation.
