Luke 1:41\u201345, When Elizabeth heard.<\/i><\/b> During this greeting, Elizabeth had a spiritual encounter that helped her to connect the dots to understand what was going on in YHVH\u2019s divine plan for John and Yeshua.<\/p>\n

By now, it is likely that Zechariah would have revealed to her the angel\u2019s previous message (vv. 13\u201317). Now when the babe leapt in her womb at Mary\u2019s arrival, and she was filled with the Spirit (a visceral experience), and then prophetic words came out of her mouth, this was evidence and confirmation to both Elizabeth and Zechariah of YHVH\u2019s plans for their son.<\/p>\n

YHVH has supernatural ways of conveying his divine will to his people, so that only people of faith will see and understand his ways and his plans for their lives. All others, unless confronted with visible signs and empirical evidence (as verified by logic, or observable evidence or experience), will dismiss these spiritual revelations and circumstances as delusion.<\/p>\n

Even when signs and miracles occur, it is unlikely that the hard hearted unbeliever will even then believe YHVH. This was often the case with the children of Israel and many who saw the miracles surrounding Yeshua\u2019s ministry.<\/p>\n

In the face of supernatural occurrences, sadly and to their own detriment, the unbelievers usually resort to mockery and to scoffing ridicule. Those, on the other hand, who walk by faith and hear the voice of YHVH and know his ways of communication and will remain undeterred, will have their faith strengthened, and will follow Elohim wherever he leads them.<\/p>\n
