Gabriel told Zechariah that his son, John the Baptist, would be a great prophet and would prepare the way for the Lord. He would turn many of the children of Israel back to God and would also be filled with the Holy Spirit even before his birth. John was destined to play a crucial role in heralding the coming of the Messiah.
When Gabriel visits Zechariah, he delivers the message that Zechariah's wife Elizabeth will have a son, who will be named John and will prepare the way for the Lord.
Luke 1:5-22 tells of how the angle Gabriel was sent to Zechariah, a priest. Gabriel prophesied about the birth of his son, whom he would name John. Zechariah did not believe him, and became mute. Verses 57-66 tells that the son is born, and Elizabeth (the mother) wants to name him John. The neighbors and relatives want to name him Zechariah. They ask Zechariah what he wants the child's name to be. When he writes on a tablet "his name is John", then "Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue was loosed, and he began to speak, praising God" (verse 64).
When Zechariah doubts the angel Gabriel's message that he and his wife Elizabeth will have a son, he is struck mute as a consequence of his disbelief. This inability to speak lasts until the prophecy is fulfilled and their son, John the Baptist, is born. His silence serves as a sign of the seriousness of God's promise and a lesson in faith. Ultimately, Zechariah's voice is restored when he acknowledges the angel's message by naming his son as instructed.
the son of Elizabeth and Zechariah that was sent by God was Yahya. He is also known as John the Baptist.
The birth is similar to that of Sarah and Abraham , here Elizabeth is old and barren, and the angel Gabriel. tells the father Zechariah that they would have a son. and you will name it John.

Zechariah, a priest in the Gospel of Luke, was told by the angel Gabriel that his son was to be named John. This announcement came while Zechariah was serving in the temple, and he was initially unable to believe the angel's message, which led to him being rendered mute until the prophecy was fulfilled. John's birth would later be significant as he became known as John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Jesus.
Zechariah was the forth king in the dynasty of Jehu, who killed Jehoram, Ahab's son.
