Luke 1:70
As he spke by the mouth of his holy prophets. "Of him have all
the prophets borne witness" (Acts 10:43). "The testimony of Jesus is
the spirit of prophecy" (Revelation 19:10). Bishop Brownrig says:
``The whole volume of Scripture did prophesy of him. He was the
sum and scope of all their predictions. He was Abraham's
promised seed, Abraham's Isaac, Jacob's Shiloh, Moses' Great
Prophet, Esaias' Immanuel, Ezekiel's Shepherd, Daniel's Holy
One, Zechariah's Branch, Malachi's Angel; all of them
predictions to foretell his coming. All their types and
ceremonies pointed at him. He was Abel's Sacrifice, Noah's
Dove, Abraham's First Fruits, Aaron's Rod, the Israelites'
Rock, the Patriarchs' Manna, David's Tabernacle, Solomon's
Temple; all these prefigured his incarnation. They were the
folds and swathing of the this babe Jesus.'
