Jewish history is replete with miraculous conceptions. From the births of Isaac, Jacob and Joseph to the nativities of Samuel and Samson, these events constitute a unifying thread and pattern regarding the arrival of the Messiah. The most famous and controversial birth in human history crowns them all: The virgin birth of Yeshua of Nazareth.

Was the virginal conception a gentile invention based on the births of pagan demigods? Did the Gospel of Matthew misquote or misinterpret the prophecy in Isaiah 7? Does the word ‘almah’ mean virgin, and how would this passage apply to Yeshua?

If he was born of a virgin, how could he be a descendant of David, a requirement for the Messiah? Where did this belief come from, and why would a virginal conception be necessary?

This book explores answers to these questions from a unique perspective. Utilizing sources that have rarely entered this discussion, we discover the hidden tapestry revealing the miraculous birth of the Messiah.
