 In chapter 3 we find the exercise of the ministry of the Word towards Israel, and that for the introduction of the Lord into this world. It is not the promises to Israel and the privileges secured to them by God, nor the birth of that child who was heir to all the promises; the empire, itself a testimony to Israel’s captivity, being an instrument for the accomplishment of the Word respecting the Lord. The years are here reckoned according to the reign of the Gentiles. (Luke 3 by J.N. Darby)
