I agree Duck.This has been a very interesting and informative discussion.I do believe Mary was a very privileged person at that moment.In the O.T. there are 3 anointed offices that God used in His relationship with Israel,The Prophet,The Priest, and The King and they were all types of Christ.
In His earthly ministry Jesus was in the office of Prophet.In the garden of Gethsemane that role was beginning to change and the inner circle of Peter,James and John were given the privilege of seeing that,if they could stay awake.
I think Mary was given the privilege of seeing the High Priest just before he was going into the Holy Of Holies and as Virgil said no one would or could slow that process.The high priest had already been separated for that service.
During the time Jesus was with Pilate and Herod before His cruxification they wanted Him to be a king but that wasn't His role yet.Even on the cross the people were telling Him to come off the cross and be a king.He could have called angels to help Him, but that would be a king mustering his army.
I believe just after the rapture and the first scene in Heaven (Rev.Chapts 4and 5)we will be given the privilege of seeing the Lamb as it was slain change His role into King as He receives the 7 seal scroll and He begins to take this world back to Himself during the 7 year tribulation and then come back as King of Kings. PRAISE THE LORD
