having changed the former holy and warlike state, the calm and peaceful upon......... These things, then, the prophecy; but it is possible to consider if......... the coming of our Savior on account of those who built....... with the blood of both the prophets and of Christ himself and of his ......les; whom in Jerusalem itself the [people] of the Jews killed..... on account of those who took the remaining things, whatever was in the prophecy......... having cared for Mount Zion as never before.......... Jerusalem has been besieged; after the desolation of which the... and the heavenly Mount Zion of God; of which the.... shadow and types and examples happened to be, has been made manifest to all 119 who have come to the............ God through Christ. Ps. From the same. 19. And you, Bethlehem, house of Ephrathah, you are too little to be among the thousands of Judah; out of you shall come forth for me one who is to be a ruler in Israel; and his goings forth are from the beginning, from the days of eternity; .... Through these things proofs concerning Christ are presented; one against the error of Marcion and the other heretics... the other against Artemon and the Samosaten[ian]......... and of the Ebionites, as many as have supposed that he did not pre-exist the incarnation........ For the prophetic word clearly refutes those not confessing him.......... God.............. that indeed his goings forth are from the beginning and from days of...... But to those deluded according to Marcion and the other.............. sions and not confessing his............ birth, nor that he was known by the [servants] of the demiurge....... one must set beside them the prophecy of the birth... ...... light to this day and by the local......; as if from the tradition of the place in Bethlehem where........ he was born; and also being...tified by the holy evangelists themselves; and the saying must be brought to the Jews........ who might present the prophesied one as imperfect..... according to them; and it is clear 120 that the divine........ prophecy is also refuted as false. Indeed, the saving and evangelical word of Christ has been established as ruler of the spiritual Israel, properly of the Jew who is one inwardly and of every virtuous and discerning soul of Israel......... being considered. Ps. From Nahum, nothing clear. Ps. And from Habakkuk. Ps. From Zephaniah. 20. Therefore wait for me, says the Lord, for the day of my resurrection for a testimony; because my judgment is for the gatherings of nations, to receive kings. And through these things I think the resurrection of Christ from the dead is shown; when this happened, it is prophesied that the gatherings everywhere of the church from the nations would be established; and perhaps also... of his second coming; and of the universal........... of all, the things according to the passage might be taken. Ps. From Haggai, nothing clear. Ps. From Zechariah. 21. ...... Almighty, After glory he has sent me to the .......ing you; then he adds after a little, saying, you will know that the Lord Almighty 121 has sent me. The one saying... me is the Lord Almighty; and likewise also the one... being greater than the one sent is named Lord Al........ Reasonably, therefore, for us in the things concerning the Father and Son........ the saying, that also Lord Almighty is the... of God, just as he was also called God through the prophets. Ps. From the same. 22. ..... and rejoice, daughter of Zion, for behold, I am coming, and.... will dwell in your midst, says the Lord. And many... will flee for refuge to the Lord on that day, and they will be his... people, and they will dwell in your midst, and... you will know......... Almighty has sent me to you. And who......... is the one saying these things and confessing to have been sent by the Almighty, but the Word of God sent by the Father for the salvation of the human race; who the aforementioned.......... heavenly Zion; of which the mountain on earth happened to be an example...... and it extends to the church from the nations; pro.......ing to her the call of those who will be saved through him......... who will be ruled by him in her. Ps. From the same. 23. And ............... Jesus the great priest, standing before the face.... of the Lord, and
