Commentary on Luke 1:8
Zacharias's priestly service 'before God' occurred 'in the order of his course,' demonstrating God's sovereignty in providential timing. Of 20,000 priests divided into 24 courses, only twice yearly did each division serve. That Zacharias's division was serving precisely when Gabriel would appear shows divine orchestration. Reformed theology recognizes God's absolute control over seemingly random circumstances, ordering history according to His eternal decree for redemptive purposes.
