He will be great and he'll be called the descendant of David, he's the new... Right, but that's not a divine being. Yeah. So, is that not interesting or worthy of note that that Jesus, if indeed is God incarnate, that that would not be stated in the description of him by the angel to Mary?

I'd like to answer my own question, which is classic Jewish way of learning. So, it occurs to me, it's actually very real. He's speaking to a Jewish woman, and the whole context is Jewish.

If he'd have said, if the angel had said to Mary, I want you to know you're giving birth to God, she would have thought it was a hallucination or she had gone mad. This made perfect sense to her.
