What prediction did the angel Gabriel make to Mary concerning Jesus?
“The Lord shall give unto him the throne of his father David” ([Luke i, 32]).
Respecting this prediction the Rev. Dr. Hooykaas, of Holland, says: “If a messenger from Heaven had really come to bring a divine revelation to Mary, the result must have confirmed his prediction; and since Jesus never fulfilled these expectations it is obvious that the revelation was never made.”
