 "Holy, holy,  holy,  Lord  God  of  Sabaoth,"  or  again in the  two  cherubim,  over  the  ark  of  the  Covenant, whose wings  met  midway  and  who  gazed  ever  one upon the  other. But Christ's  prophecies  all  concern Himself, He  is  the  beginning  and  the  end — the  A and  the  Z — the  central  figure  of  all  prophecy. Therefore I say,  Christ,  being  a  true  Prophet,  must  have had in  Him  the  Spirit  of  God;  and  being  the  subject of His  own  prophecy  He  must  have  been  God  Himself. Now a  true  prophecy  is  one  that  is  justified  by the  event,  and  that  Christ  was  a  true  Prophet  was never more  clearly  proven  than  in  the  things  He foretold  regarding  the  city  of  Jerusalem.

They tell  us  that  thirty-six  years  after  Christ's death  there  began  a  series  of  prodigies  in  the  city, such as  men  had  never  seen  before. Ghostly armies were seen  to  do  battle  in  the  air  over  the  city;  a blinding  light  frequently  in  an  instant  turned  the darkest night  into  the  brightest  day;  earthquakes shook the  walls  and  flung  open  the  gates  of  the  city; and for  four  years,  night  and  day,  a  man,  a  stranger to all,  roamed  the  city  streets  crying:  "  Woe,  woe  to
