Commentary on Luke 1:7
Elisabeth's barrenness parallels Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Hannah—women through whom God demonstrated His sovereignty over human impossibility. The detail that 'they both were now well stricken in years' emphasizes the miraculous nature of God's coming intervention. This pattern of barrenness-to-birth foreshadows the greater miracle of virgin birth. God's delays and denials serve His redemptive purposes, preparing both parents and the world for extraordinary demonstrations of His power.
