%6 FINAL APPEAL
describes Christ's kingdom nearly in the same terms with
Isaiah, and in ch. v., he repeats the place of his birth :
'Thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, out of thee shall he come
foith unto me—whose goings forth have been of old,
from everlasting.' The testimony to the eternal deity of
Christ, given in connection with his birth as man, it is
"wrong to overlook." Any testimony relating to the birth
of jesus having nothing to do with his atonement, is
not in place here; but I will examine the verse here
died in the subsequent part of this discussion, when we
come to the subject of the Trinity.
He quotes again Nahum i. 15. for the purpose of
proving Christ's kingdom, which is a subject totally foreign
to that of the vicarious sacrifice of Jesus. "Habakkuk"
(says the Editor page 542) '"was evidently no stranger to
the doctrine founded on the atonement;" and he then
quotes the passage, "The just shall live by his faith," as
corroborated by Paul, Rom. i. 17, and Gal. iii. 2; and "the
earth shall be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah" &c.
Bot what faith in, and knowledge of God, as well as faith
in the perfection of his attributes, and in prophets sent
by him, has to do with the atonement, I am at a loss to
discover. Does the bare mention of faith by Habakkuk
of other prophets prove his or their familiarity with the
sacrificial death of Jesus ?
He quotes the passage of Haggai ii. "Thus saith
fiovah; the desire of all nations shall come and will fill
s house with glory—the glory of this latter house shall
greater than that of the former, saith Jehovah of
its" which the Editor thinks affords decided proof
respecting both the atoriement and the deity of Christ.
It is however too deep for my shallow understanding to
