1. Jesus was trhe fulfilment of a long awaited promise to Simeon and Anna. They both were waiting for the one who would bring salvation and Jesus was it. Jesus is the source of salvation, prepared before all people as a visible sign, for all people, Gentiles and Jews so that all can be reconciled to God.
2. Some would welcome Him and others would speak against Him. Jesus was to reveal the hearts of people who claimed to love God. He would provoke the people to reveal their true nautre. People's falling and rising would come about by Jesus depending on their reaction to Him.
1. a fulfilment of a prophecy that had been given to them and were faithful to God for a long time and developed patience and perseverance. interesting that male and female as God can use both even tho at Luke's time the man was the more important and tended to be respected more.
2. there would be a divide between those who would accept Jesus and those that would not.
