{{q|Lu 1:26-38|1'}}
{{bgw| Lu 1:26-38 }} And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
 
27  To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name [was] Mary.
{{q|Lu 1:26-38|2'}}
28  And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, [thou that art] highly favoured, the Lord [is] with thee: blessed [art] thou among women.
 
29 And when she saw [him], she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

Line 61: Line 15:
38  And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

Just as Gabriel's first announcement to Zacarias corresponded to the first vision he gave Daniel, so his second announcement corresponds to this one. Daniel names Gabriel as the same one from the previous vision. Gabriel tells Mary there was a first announcement to Elizabeth. 
If we miss the connection to Daniel, we may presume that when Jesus 'returns again' he will conquer his enemies with violence. But Jesus is the Prince of Peace.


{{bgw| Da 8:25 }} And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify [himself] in his heart, and '''by peace shall destroy many''': he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.


Jesus conquers his enemies by making them his friends.


'''Sixth''' - The sixth day of creation is the day that man was made. Jesus is the firstborn of creation. The Word is made to be man.


'''Joseph''' - In the story of Tamar (Ge 38) Judah had three sons: Er, Onan, and Shelah.  They represent Adam, Israel and Joseph. Shelah was in line to beget the son of the promise but never got the chance. Likewise, Joseph was in line to beget the king of Israel, but did not get the chance.  Tamar/Mary was betrothed to Shelah/Joseph.
