Note 1 at Lk. 2:26: Revelation knowledge is distinctly different than knowledge acquired by learning. Simeon had not been taught by man that he would see the Lord's Christ but it was simply made known to him by God. The Holy Ghost is the one who imparts the knowledge (Lk. 2:26; Jn. 14:26; 16:12-15); it is always truth (1 Jn. 2:27); pure (Jas. 3:17); and available to all believers (1 Cor. 2:9-16; Col. 3:10).
