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…
