Joseph, Jesus' step-father, had at least three encounters with angels in his dreams, and every time he did exactly as the angel commanded him.
First, when Mary became pregnant before they were married(Matthew 1:18-25). In this instance, "...Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife, but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus."(NIV)
Second, when Herod was seeking to kill the young Jesus(Matthew 2:13-15) "...an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, 'Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to destroy Him.' So Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and left for Egypt.
He remained there until the death of Herod...."(NASB)
Third, when Herod died and it was safe to return from Egypt (Matthew 2:19,20) "But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. " (KJV)
Zacharias was not physically unaffected by the visit from the Angel Gabriel. He was struck mute as a sign of disbelief because he questioned the angel's message about his wife Elizabeth conceiving a child in her old age.
The day is known as the Annunciation. It is a Christian feast day that commemorates the angel Gabriel's visit to the Virgin Mary to announce that she would conceive and give birth to Jesus, the Son of God.
When the angel Gabriel did come to visit Mary wit the good news , she was not even married at that time. And in those days girls got married very early in their lives, so she was about 17 years only.
AnswerIt is very unclear where Mary and Joseph lived before Jesus was born. The only sources we have on this are the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, which appear to be in mutual disagreement.Luke's Gospel makes it clear that, in the author's view, Mary and Joseph lived in Nazareth but travelled to Bethlehem where Jesus was born in a stable, there being no room in the inn. The young couple soon afterwards took Jesus to Jerusalem and then returned peacefully to Nazareth. There are some historical problems with this account, that make it seem doubtful.Matthew's Gospel seems to say that Mary and Joseph lived in a house in Bethlehem before Jesus was born. Afterr the visit by the magi, they fled to Egypt and remained there until the death of King Herod. They then returned to Judea, implying that this was indeed their home but, being warned by God in a dream, turned aside and travelled to Galilee, where they then dwelt in a city called Nazareth. From this, it seems at least unlikely that the young couple lived in Nazareth.We do not know where Mary and Joseph lived before Jesus was born.
After Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, the shepherds were the first to visit him, according to the New Testament. The angels announced the birth to the shepherds, who then went to see Jesus in the manger.
The angel's visit to Joseph in a dream in the biblical narrative impacts the course of events by reassuring Joseph to accept Mary as his wife, despite her unexpected pregnancy. This ensures that Jesus is born into a stable family and fulfills the prophecy of being the Messiah.
A vivid dream area of subconsciousness. A dream has no real meaning, unless you make it up yourself.
Genesis. There is a more complete account in the Book of Jasher, which is part of the appocrypha.
The Gospel of Luke is the gospel that speaks of the angel Gabriel's visit to Mary. In Matthew's Gospel, we are told through the angel telling Joseph that Mary conceived through the power of the Holy Ghost, what took place, but are not given the full story of Mary's encounter and message from the angel as we are given in Luke's Gospel.
