Wrong.

It's not a mistranslation.

It's not in the past tense.

· Luke 1:26-27 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.

· Isaiah 7:13-16 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David

· Matthew 1:20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. NKJV

The purpose for comparing these three verses is to demonstrate that the LITERAL fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy concerning the virgin that shall conceive a child was initially directed at Ahaz, but in a larger sense, all of the House of Judah, of whom he was king. Therefore Matthew 1:20 and Luke 1:27 affirm that JOSEPH vicariously serves as the recipient of God’s initial promises on behalf of fleshly bloodline of Judah, aka the House of David. If it were not so, then Gabriel would certainly have mentioned Mary’s genetic bloodline, which is completely omitted from scripture.

God first sent the angel Gabriel to Mary in Luke 1:26-38 to announce to her that she had been chosen to bear the Christ-child, and explaining to her the miraculous form of conception that God would use to generate the new life in her womb. For the purposes of this study, it is important that we look at what Gabriel told her for two main reasons.

First to understand the nature of the child conceived and decide from the text of scripture whether “God” is being born, as purported by Trinitarian theology that uses, “Immanuel,” (meaning God with us), as proof text for the deity of Christ. Or second, to understand if the message Gabriel gave to Mary has ties to the House of Judah and whether or not her understanding of the nature of the child is solely human or divine (Read Luke 1:30-38).
