true, they attest the claims OF those

! +. - i. Th:s This. IS taught in Words in the
]. Scriptures, which we have seen, are
the word of God and ought to satisfy
US; but God is very gracious and
long suffering to us in our skepticism,
and further furnishes. The fulfilled
prophecies and types and shadows Of
the Old Testament set forth, as is
conceded by the bitterest enemies of
Christianity centuries before the
birth of Christ, and those of the
| New Testament made before their
fulfllnent, as well as the prophecies

lative and convincing proof both of
the revelation itself and of its plan
of salvation.
| 2. The conception of i this idea, 80
contrary to all the teachings of the
Jewish rabbis and the belief Of the
Jewish people, is in itself miraculous
and the carrying out the idea is still
more miraculous, until we find, as we
are now about to do, that it was de-
rived from Gods infinite love and
wisdom and had been forctold by his
prophets long before.
i, 8. Omitting for the sake of brevity
other fulfilled prophecies, I proceed
to examine those concerning John,
the forerunner of Christ, and those
concerning Christ himself Isaiah
(xl.3) says of John: "The voice of
him that crieth in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way Of the Lord,
make straight in the desert high
way for our God'".
And Malachi Gii, ~: "Behold l
, send my messenger and he shall pre-
: pare the way before me-" Civ 5-6)
"Behold ] will send ygu Elijah, the
| Rprophet, before the Coming Of the
great and dreadful day of The Lord
| and he shall turn the heart of the
, fathers to the children, and the heart
, of the children to thoir fathers, lest
: | come and smite the earth with {
} curse" "Rut the angel said unto
j, him Luke |, 1910 'Fear not, Zacha
3 rias, for thy prayer is heard, and thy
7 wife Elizabeth shall bear thee son
and thou shalt call his name John
= and thou shalt have Joy and glad
] ness, and many shall rejoice at hif
. birth for he shall be great in the
3 sight of the Lord, and shall drink
l neither wine nor strong drink and
he shall be filed with the Holy
: Ghost even from his mothers womb
: and many of the children of Israe
: shall he turn to the Lord their God

hearts of the fathers to the children
