And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end (Luke 1:31-33).The angel Gabriel delivered the next promise to a young woman named Mary in the Galilean city of Nazareth, according to Luke 1:26-37. It was the sixth month of Elizabeth’s unfathomable pregnancy, but the conception and birth Gabriel promised Mary would be even more unbelievable. He told her she would give birth though she was a virgin. This would be the work of the Holy Spirit and not a man, Gabriel said. The son she would bear would be the Son of God, the Messiah long ago promised by the Almighty God. God was about to become man through a young Hebrew woman. The virgin prophesied in Isaiah 7 as the mother of Immanuel had been revealed. To Mary’s amazement at how this could happen, Gabriel ultimately said, “For nothing will be impossible with God.”
