The Book of Enoch tells how Noah was very wonderful as a newborn baby such that his father grew afraid that he was born from a supernatural conception like with the Nephilim. This helps explain the virgin birth nativity story in Matthew and Luke. The focus of the exhortation of the angel to Joseph in Matthew chapter 1 seems not to address the scandalous possibility of Mary being with another man, but rather to address the question of what kind of supernatural conception happened with her. The exhortation to Joseph is that this conception was very much a holy eventuality because it was from the Holy Spirit, (i.e. not some other spirit like with the Nephilim). This means the people to whom Jesus was born have a real sense of God being so very close to them in that God’s very essence is in some senses carried in Jesus. The essence of God Himself is present in Jesus by this Holy Spirit virgin conception holy means in which He becomes flesh. It is thus truly actualised that God is with these people to whom Jesus is born. The essence of God’s miraculous working and spirit formed Jesus and continues in the human flesh existence of Jesus.
