Luke 1:70 — KJV

Commentary

Commentary on Luke 1:70

Theological / Devotional

His holy prophets. The prophets of old all bore witness to Christ (see Luke 24:25, 27, 44; John 5:39; Acts 3:21), and “enquired and searched diligently” to understand what “the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify” (1 Peter 1:10, 11).

Since the world began. That is, “from of old,” or, “anciently.” This expression is characteristic of Luke (see Acts 3:21; 15:18). The first prophecy of a Redeemer was made in the Garden of Eden at the time man sinned (see Gen. 3:15). Enoch pointed men of his generation forward to the Messiah (Jude 14, 15), and to each succeeding generation God sent inspired witnesses to testify of the certainty of salvation. One and all, they bore witness to Christ (see Acts 3:21; 1 Peter 1:10-12).
