POST-CONCEPTION REVELATION ABOUT CHRIST #1
42 "Then [Elizabeth] spoke out with a loud voice and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
43 "But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 "For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45 "Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.""
Luke 1:42-45
In this passage we see how God's revelation to Elizabeth was infallibly given. When the Mary greets Elizabeth, her 6-month-old baby LEAPS FOR JOY and she is filled with the Holy Spirit.

What she says next is for Mary's and our benefit. She confirms what Mary was told by the angel Gabriel. All she was told was confirmed. Additionally, we are hearing God's words to His people. What is written is for all our benefit. Might each of our hearts grow in the grace and knowledge of it Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
