The Foreshadowing of the Virgin Birth – went with haste to their Relative’s Household

In the foreshadowing of the virgin birth, Mary is foreshadowed by Rebekah. Both Mary and Rebekah went with haste and told their relatives what had happened.

Luke 1:36 And behold, your [Mary’s] relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son…

Luke 1:39 In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah, 40 and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.

Genesis 24:28 Then the maiden ran and told her mother's household about these things.
