When sin first enters the world, God promises a saviour, the Messiah
A Saviour is promised by God, the Messiah to reconcile man with God.
When sin first enters the world, God promises a Saviour, the Messiah, to resolve the problem of sin and reconcile people with God. The Messiah would be born of a woman - he would be a human, as opposed to an angel or other type of being. The Messiah would defeat evil at his own expense.

Walvoord - Every Prophecy of the Bible
Source commentary from John F. Walvoord, recorded as interpretation-specific research. It enriches the Explorer record without replacing its existing Scripture-based classification.
Interpretation
Apparently, about the time that Mary realised she was pregnant, she left Nazareth to visit Zechariah’s wife. Upon her arrival in Zechariah’s home, further confirmation of the angel’s message to Mary was recorded: “When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!’” (vv. 41-42). Elizabeth continued, “But why am I so favoured, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!” (vv. 43-45)

Research sources & provenance (0)
Sources are recorded to show where a claim came from and to distinguish source authority from the Explorer's own editorial judgment. A source rating is not a claim of infallibility, and a respected Christian source may still contain interpretation-specific conclusions.
