GABRIEL'S ANNOUNCEMENT TO MARY (The day after conception)
“A child has been in existence about nine months before it
experiences birth.” A certain Melchizedek Son of God
One evening about sundown, before Joseph had returned home,
Gabriel appeared to Mary by the side of a low stone table and,
after she had recovered her composure, said: "I come at the
bidding of one who is my Master and whom you shall love and
nurture. To you, Mary, I bring glad tidings when I announce that
the conception within you is ordained by heaven, and that in due
time you will become the mother of a son; you shall call him
Joshua, and he shall inaugurate the kingdom of heaven on earth
and among men. Speak not of this matter save to Joseph and to
Elizabeth, your kinswoman, to whom I have also appeared, and
who shall presently also bear a son, whose name shall be John,
and who will prepare the way for the message of deliverance
which your son shall proclaim to men with great power and deep
conviction. And doubt not my word, Mary, for this home has been
chosen as the mortal habitat of the child of destiny. My
benediction rests upon you, the power of the Most Highs will
strengthen you, and the Lord of all the earth shall overshadow
you."
