THE MIRACLE OF THE VIRGIN BIRTH

In the very first human "reproductive process," God removed a rib from the "first Adam" and He formed Eve (Gen. 2:21-22; 1 Cor. 15:45).  Approximately 4000 years later, when the fullness of time had come, God became flesh and dwelt among us (Jn. 1:1, 14; Gal. 4:4; 1 Tim. 3:16).  Jesus is called the "last Adam" (1 Cor. 15:45).  Just like the "first Adam," the "last Adam" came from a virgin, a single "parent." 

The reproductive gene of the human female has two X chromosomes (XX), while that of the male has one X and one Y (XY).  So in order for the "last Adam" to be born, God also had to remove something from Mary's reproductive gene; He removed one "branch" of one of Mary's X's, thus making it a Y.  The new cell being formed was therefore an (XY).  And so the virgin Mary brought forth the Son of God.  Here is what God's Word says about the Virgin Birth:      

*  "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; (He) shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel" (Gen. 3:15).
*  "Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel" (Isa. 7:14).
*  "And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ" (Mt. 1:16).
*  "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost" (Mt. 1:18).
*  "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us" (Mt. 1:23).
*  "And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God" (Lk. 1:35).
*  "And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being as was supposed the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli" (Lk. 3:22-23).
*  "Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ" (Gal. 3:16).

It is not all that complicated; it is simply a miracle!
