Isaac, and Jacob would be the promised “Son of Man” I his Man would be the Lord’s anointed King, a God-Man, the Messiah, who would bring freedom and justice and peace to die people of God, God spent four thousand years preparing the world for the appearance of His Son. During that time He showed He can also make a human by using part of His creation plus more dust of the earth, like He made Eve. Next, He established the law of natural generation, using a man and a woman: the way all of us were made. On specific occasions, God divinely empowers a man and a woman who are past normal child bearing ages to beget children. He thus gave children to Abraham and Sarah, and Elisabeth and Zacharias. When tiod intended for His Son to become a man, He announced through His prophets that a virgin would conceive and bear a Son. The name of His Son would be Immanuel, or God With Us. Ciod decided how and when His Son would come into the world to become our Savior. He sent the angel Gabriel to a virgin in Nazareth to m;ike a magnificent announcement. Gabriel told Mary that, by the power of God the Holy Spirit, she would conceive and bear a son. This Son would be great,, His kingdom would never cad, and she was to name him Jcsuus.
