The Foreshadowing of the Virgin Birth – Selected by God

In the foreshadowing of the virgin birth, Mary is foreshadowed by Rebekah. Both Mary and Rebekah were selected by God.

Luke 1:30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.

Genesis 24:14 … let her be the one whom thou hast appointed…
Genesis 24:44 … let her be the woman whom the LORD has appointed…

J. Clontz – Editor of the Comprehensive New Testament
