{{ | {{bgw| Lu 1:26 }} 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. | |||
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. | |||

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. | |||
