§672Before his Ascension Christ affirmed that the hour had not yet come for the glorious establishment of the messianic kingdom awaited by Israel561 which, according to the prophets, was to bring all men the definitive order of justice, love and peace.562 According to the Lord, the present time is the time of the Spirit and of witness, but also a time still marked by "distress" and…
§712The characteristics of the awaited Messiah begin to appear in the "Book of Emmanuel" ("Isaiah said this when he saw his glory,"80 speaking of Christ), especially in the first two verses of Isaiah 11: 81 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. and the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and unders…
§1831The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. They belong in their fullness to Christ, Son of David.109 They complete and perfect the virtues of those who receive them. They make the faithful docile in readily obeying divine inspirations. Let your good spirit lead me on a level path.110 For all who are …
One and the same God, the Creator of heaven and earth, is He whom the prophets foretold, and who was declared by the Gospel. Proof of this, at the outset, from St. Matthew's Gospel. 1. This, therefore, having been clearly demonstrated here (and it shall yet be so still more clearly), that neither the prophets, nor the apostles, nor the Lord Christ in His own person, did acknowl…

And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse. The Messiah is described as coming from the apparently cut-down stump of David's dynasty — from humble origins, not from the throne. The Spirit of the Lord rests upon him in sevenfold fullness. His reign brings universal peace: the wolf dwelling with the lamb, and the earth full of the knowledge of the Lord as waters co…
1. How Christians are the Spiritual Israel. That people which was called of old the people of God was divided into twelve tribes, and over and above the other tribes it had the levitical order, which itself again carried on the service of God in various priestly and levitical suborders. In the same manner, it appears to me that the whole people of Christ, when we regard it in t…
Moses then, who was the first of the prophets, spoke in these very words: The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until He come for whom it is reserved; and He shall be the desire of the nations, binding His foal to the vine, washing His robe in the blood of the grape. Genesis 49:10 It is yours to make accurate inquiry, and ascertain up to…
Concerning the holy and much-lauded ever-virgin one, Mary, the Mother of God, we have said something in the preceding chapters, bringing forward what was most opportune, viz., that strictly and truly she is and is called the Mother of God. Now let us fill up the blanks. For she being pre-ordained by the eternal prescient counsel of God and imaged forth and proclaimed in diverse…
I believe with perfect faith in the coming of the Messiah; and even though he may tarry, I will wait every day for his coming.
And when God, the Father and Lord of all, sends anyone anywhere, He does not part with any portion of His being; yet the person sent goes forth, and the Sender remains behind. When He sent His Son, He sent Him who was with Him from all eternity, who was begotten before all creation, His Word and His Power. And therefore the prophet Isaiah, being moved by the prophetic Spirit, s…
Now the prophets were not silent about these things, but long before declared them. For the prophet Isaiah says: 'Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which being interpreted is "God with us."' See Isa. vii. 14. And Moses, the truly great, who was accounted faithful in all his house, when he saw that the people had sunk to the l…
'The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.' See Matt. i. 1. Mark, how Matthew begins. He calls Him the son of David, because in this name he hoped to gain the Jews. For there was no name so much talked of as that of David. And for good reason he does not say 'son of Abraham' first, though Abraham was the earlier, but mentions David first,…
