Gabriel Chooses Jesus' Parents 

When it came time for Christ Michael to plan his seventh and final bestowal mission, a special report was prepared for him regarding the conditions of various quarantined worlds in the universe of Nebadon – the universe of his creation. And in light of this report, Christ Michael, in consultation with Gabriel, chose earth as the planet on which to enact his incarnation in the form of a helpless human baby.

It wasn’t that our world needed Jesus to fix all of our manifold problems. Instead, our world appealed to Jesus because it provided a unique background of confusion, darkness, and turmoil against which the love, mercy, and patience of the heavenly Father would stand out in striking contrast.

It is not possible to cite all of the reasons that Mary and Joseph were chosen to be Jesus’ earth parents; nor is it possible to fully explain why Palestine was chosen as the geographical location for the momentous event of the Son of God’s incarnation as an infant of the realm. But what can be grasped is the care and thought that went into these decisions.

Once the decision had been made that earth was to be the home world for the bestowal of Christ Michael, Gabriel personally visited our world. He surveyed the spiritual, intellectual, racial, and geographic qualities of the world and its human groups. As a result, he chose the Hebrew race as the one that possessed the most advantageous characteristics for the bestowal mission.

Michael approved of Gabriel’s recommendation; thereafter, Gabriel sent a group of personalities of the higher orders who were to make a study of Jewish family life. This group presented their report to Gabriel after completing their study and nominated three prospective couples that would be equally favorable for the honor of fostering the incarnated Son of God.

From the three couples nominated, Gabriel chose Mary and Joseph to be Jesus’ earthly parents. Of all the couples living in Palestine around the time of his projected bestowal, Joseph and Mary had the best mix of widespread racial connections and above-average personality traits. The plan of Jesus was to come to earth as an average person so that regular people could understand and accept him. That's why Gabriel chose Joseph and Mary to become his parents.

Subsequently, Gabriel personally appeared to Mary to announce to her that she had been selected as the earth mother of the incarnated child – Joshua ben Joseph – Son of God, Son of Man, Jesus of Nazareth.
