In the context of the Bible, the term "announced" often refers to the proclamation or declaration of significant events, messages, or divine revelations. Throughout Scripture, announcements serve as pivotal moments that convey God's will, foretell future events, or reveal important truths to His people.

Old Testament Announcements

1. The Announcement to Abraham: One of the earliest significant announcements in the Bible is God's promise to Abraham. In Genesis 12:1-3, God announces to Abram (later Abraham) that He will make him into a great nation, bless him, and make his name great. This announcement sets the stage for the unfolding of God's covenant with Israel.

2. The Birth of Isaac: In Genesis 18:10, the Lord announces to Abraham that his wife Sarah will bear a son, Isaac, despite their old age. This announcement is a testament to God's power and faithfulness to His promises.

3. The Exodus: God announces the liberation of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage through Moses. In Exodus 3:7-10, God reveals His plan to deliver His people and bring them to a land flowing with milk and honey.

Prophetic Announcements

1. The Coming of the Messiah: The Old Testament contains numerous prophetic announcements concerning the coming of the Messiah. Isaiah 7:14 announces the virgin birth, stating, "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel."

2. The Suffering Servant: Isaiah 53 announces the suffering and atoning work of the Messiah, describing how He will bear the sins of many and be pierced for our transgressions.

New Testament Announcements

1. The Annunciation to Mary: In Luke 1:26-38, the angel Gabriel announces to Mary that she will conceive and give birth to Jesus, the Son of the Most High. This announcement is central to the Incarnation, where God becomes flesh.

2. The Birth of John the Baptist: In Luke 1:13-17, the angel Gabriel announces to Zechariah that his wife Elizabeth will bear a son, John, who will prepare the way for the Lord. This announcement highlights the role of John the Baptist in heralding the coming of Jesus.

3. The Resurrection of Jesus: The announcement of Jesus' resurrection is a cornerstone of Christian faith. In Matthew 28:5-6, the angel announces to the women at the tomb, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, just as He said."

The Apostolic Announcements

1. The Day of Pentecost: In Acts 2, Peter announces the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This marks the birth of the Church and the spread of the Gospel to all nations.

2. The Return of Christ: The New Testament contains announcements regarding the second coming of Christ. In 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Paul announces that "the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God."

Throughout the Bible, announcements serve as divine communications that guide, warn, and encourage God's people. They reveal God's sovereign plan and His active involvement in human history, underscoring His faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises.
