一、雅威亲自降世取人性，以救赎人类
82# 创造宇宙的雅威亲自降世，取了人性，为要救赎、拯救堕落的人类。
如今基督教各教会所持观点为：创造宇宙的上帝自永恒生出一位圣子，此圣子降世、取人性，借以救赎、拯救人类。
然而这一说法实为谬误；人只要明白上帝乃是独一的，再细想两件事理，此谬论便不攻自破：其一，独一上帝自永恒生出另一圣子，于理性看来非但荒诞，更近乎凭空虚构；其二，圣父、圣子、圣灵三位各自皆为上帝，却又合为一位上帝。
一旦借着圣言证明明理 —— 乃是雅威上帝亲自降世、成为人，且自身便是救赎者 —— 这般虚构之说便全然消散，如同流星消散于长空。
【2】雅威上帝亲自降临，并成为人：
首先，关于雅威上帝亲自降世、道成肉身一事，可由以下经文为证：
“必有童女怀孕生子，给他起名叫以马内利。”（赛 7:14；太 1:22-23）
“因有一婴孩为我们而生，有一子赐给我们；政权必担在他的肩头上。他名称为奇妙、策士、全能的神、永在的父、和平的君。”（赛 9:6）
“有人声喊着说：‘在旷野预备雅威的路，在沙漠地修平我们神的道。’……‘凡有血气的必一同看见。’”（赛 40:3，5）
“主雅威必像大能者临到；他的膀臂必为他掌权。他的赏赐在他那里；他的报应在他面前。他必像牧人牧养自己的羊群。”（赛 40:10-11）
“锡安的民哪，应当歌唱喜乐，因为我来要住在你中间。这是雅威说的。那时，必有许多国归附雅威。”（亚 2:10-11）
“我雅威凭公义召你…… 我必保守你，使你作众民的中保…… 我是雅威，这是我的名；我必不将我的荣耀归给假神。”（赛 42:6，8）
“雅威说：日子将到，我要给大卫兴起一个公义的苗裔；他必掌王权…… 在地上施行公平和公义。…… 他的名必称为：雅威我们的义。”（耶 23:5-6；参耶 33:15-16）
除此之外，多处经文将主的降临称作 “雅威的日子”（赛 13:6，9，13，22；结 31:15；珥 1:15；2:1-2，11；3:2，4；4:1，14，18；摩 5:13，18，20；番 1:7-18；亚 14:1，4-21），另有其余多处经文同此称谓。
【3】雅威亲自降临，并取了人性：
雅威亲自降世、取人性这一点，路加福音记载得十分清晰：“马利亚对天使说：‘我没有出嫁，怎么有这事呢？’天使回答说：‘圣灵要临到你身上，至高者的能力要荫庇你；因此所要生的圣者，必称为神的儿子。’”（路 1:34-35）
马太福音亦有记载：天使在梦中对马利亚的丈夫约瑟说：“因她所怀的孕是从圣灵来的。” 并且约瑟 “没有和她同房，等她生了儿子，就给他起名叫耶稣。”（太 1:20，25）
本书第三章将会阐明：所谓圣灵，乃是从雅威上帝发出的神性。
谁不知晓，后代的灵魂与生命源自父亲，肉身则由灵魂承载？由此可见，没有比经文更直白的见证：主的灵魂与生命全然出自雅威上帝。
又因神性不可分割，父自身的神性，便是祂的灵魂与生命。故此主屡次称雅威上帝为自己的父，雅威上帝也称祂为自己的儿子。
反观另一类说法，何其荒唐可笑：竟宣称我等主的灵魂源自母亲马利亚！如今天主教徒与新教徒尚且固守这般空想，至今未曾从圣言之中醒悟过来。
82# （1）耶和华神降临并取了人身，以救赎和拯救人类。在当今基督教会，人们以为神，宇宙的创造者自永恒就生了一个儿子，这个儿子降临并取了一个人身，以救赎和拯救人类。然而，这是一个错误；只要想到神是一，这个错误就会自动分崩离析；在理性看来，没有比以下说法更令人难以置信的了：独一神自永恒就生了一个儿子，并且父神与圣子并圣灵，其中每一位都独为神，是一位神。当从圣言说明，耶和华神自己降临并成为人，也成为救赎主时，这种难以置信的观点就会像半空中的流星一样完全消散。
第一点，即：耶和华神自己降临并成为人，这一点从以下经文清楚看出来；以赛亚书：
看哪，必有童女怀孕生子，祂必称为神与我们同在。（以赛亚书7:14; 马太福音1:22，23）
又：
有一婴孩为我们而生，有一子赐给我们；政权必担在祂的肩头上；祂名称为奇妙、神、勇士、永在的父、和平的君。（以赛亚书9:6）
又：
到那日，人必说，看哪，这是我们的神；我们素来等候祂，祂必拯救我们；这是耶和华；我们素来等候祂；我们必因祂的救恩欢喜快乐。（以赛亚书25:9）
又：
在沙漠或旷野有人声呼喊，预备耶和华的道；在旷野为我们的神修直大道，一切肉体都必一同看见。（以赛亚书40:3，5）
又：
看哪，主耶和华必以大能临到，祂的膀臂将为祂掌权。看哪，祂的赏赐在祂那里。祂必像牧人牧养自己的羊群。（以赛亚书40:10-11）
撒迦利亚书：
耶和华说，锡安的女儿啊，应当欢喜快乐。看哪，我要来住在你们中间。在那日，必有许多民族归附耶和华。（撒迦利亚书2:10-11）
以赛亚书：
我耶和华凭公义召你，要使你作人民的约。我是耶和华，这是我的名；我必不将我的荣耀归给别人。（以赛亚书42:6，8）
耶利米书：
看哪，日子将到，我要给大卫兴起一个公义的枝子，祂必掌权为王，在地上施行公平和公义，这是祂的名，耶和华我们的义。（耶利米书23:5，6; 33:15，16）
也可参看其它经文，在那里，主的降临被称为“耶和华的日子”（如以赛亚书13:6，9，13，22; 以西结书31:15; 约珥书1:15; 2:1，2，11; 3:1，14，18; 阿摩司书5:13，18，20; 西番雅书1:7-18; 撒迦利亚书14:1，4-21; 以及其它地方）。
正是耶和华自己降临并取了人身，这一点尤其从路加福音明显看出来，在那里，经上说：
马利亚对天使说，我没有和男人亲近，怎么会有这事呢？天使回答她说，圣灵要临到你身上，至高者的能力要荫庇你；因此将要从你所生的圣者，必称为神的儿子。（路加福音1:34，35）
马太福音：
天使在梦中对约瑟，马利亚的新郎说，那在她内受生的是从圣灵来的。约瑟不亲近她，直到她生了头胎的儿子，他给祂起名叫耶稣。（马太福音1:20，25）
本书第三章（TCR 138-188节）将说明，圣灵是指从耶和华神发出的神性。谁不知道后代的灵魂和生命来自父亲，身体则来自这灵魂？那么，还有什么比“主的灵魂和生命来自耶和华神”说得更清楚的呢？既然神性是不可分割的，那么还有什么比父的神性本身就是主的灵魂和生命更明显的呢？这就是为何主经常称耶和华神为祂的父，耶和华神则称主为祂的儿子。那么，还有什么比说“主的灵魂来自祂的母亲马利亚”更荒谬的呢？正如当今天主教徒和新教徒在梦中所确认的那样，他们还没有被圣言唤醒。
82. 1. Jehovah God came down and took on a human manifestation in order to redeem people and save them. The belief among Christian churches nowadays is that God, the Creator of the universe, procreated a Son from eternity. That Son came down and took on a human manifestation in order to redeem people and save them. This belief is wrong, however. It spontaneously falls apart as long as our thinking focuses on the fact that there is one God. To sound reason it is worse than nonsense to think that the one God procreated some Son from eternity and that God the Father together with the Son and the Holy Spirit, each of whom is individually God, together make one God. This fiction completely vanishes like a shooting star in the air when the Word is quoted to show (a) that Jehovah God himself came down and became human and (b) that Jehovah God also became the Redeemer.
[2] As for the first point, the following passages show that Jehovah God himself came down and became human:
Behold, a virgin will conceive and bear a Son, who will be called God with us. (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23)
A Child is born to us; a Son is given to us. Authority will rest on his shoulder, and his name will be called Wonderful, God, Hero, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
It will be said in that day, "Behold, this is our God. We have waited for him to free us. This is Jehovah whom we have waited for. Let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation. " (Isaiah 25:9)
The voice of one crying in the desert, "Prepare a way for Jehovah; make a level pathway in the solitude for our God. And all flesh will see it together. " (Isaiah 40:3, 5)
Behold, the Lord Jehovih is coming with strength, and his arm will rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him; like a shepherd he will feed his flock. (Isaiah 40:10-11)
Jehovah said, "Rejoice and be glad, daughter of Zion. Behold, I am coming to live in your midst. " Then many peoples will cling to Jehovah in that day. (Zechariah 2:10-11)
I, Jehovah, have called you in justice; I will give you as a covenant to the people. I am Jehovah. This is my name. I will not give my glory to another. (Isaiah 42:6, 8)
Behold, the days are coming when I will raise up for David a righteous offshoot who will reign as king and execute judgment and justice on the earth. And this is his name: Jehovah our Justice. (; 33:15-16)
Then there are the passages where the coming of the Lord is called "the day of Jehovah," such as Isaiah 13:6, 9, 13, 22; Ezekiel 31:15; Joel 1:15; 2:1-2, 11, 29, 31; 3:1, 14, 18; Amos 5:13, 18, 20; Zephaniah 1:7-18; Zechariah 14:1, 4-21; and elsewhere.
[3] That Jehovah himself was the one who came down and took on a human manifestation is clearly established in Luke, when it says, "Mary said to the angel, 'How will this take place, since I have not had intercourse? The angel replied to her, The Holy Spirit will descend upon you, and the power of the Highest will cover you; therefore the Holy One that is born from you will be called the Son of God'" (Luke 1:34-35). In Matthew it says that in a dream an angel told Joseph, who was betrothed to Mary, that the child that had been conceived in her was from the Holy Spirit. And Joseph did not have intercourse with her until she gave birth to a Son and called his name Jesus (Matthew 1:20, 25). The "Holy Spirit" means the divine power that radiates from Jehovah God, as we will see in the third chapter of this work [138-188].
Everyone knows that an offspring's soul and life come from its father, and the body comes from that soul. To state it very openly, then, the Lord's soul and life came from Jehovah God; and because divinity cannot be divided, the Lord's soul and life was the Father's divinity itself. This is why the Lord frequently called Jehovah God his Father, and Jehovah God called the Lord his Son. What would be more absurd to hear therefore than the idea that the soul of our Lord came from Mary his mother? Yet this is the very thing that both Roman Catholics and Protestants are dreaming today, and they have not been awakened by the Word yet.
82. (i) JEHOVAH GOD CAME DOWN AND TOOK UPON HIMSELF HUMAN FORM, IN ORDER TO REDEEM AND SAVE MANKIND.
Christian churches today believe that God the Creator of the universe fathered a Son from eternity, who came down and took upon Himself human form to redeem and save mankind. But this is an error and collapses of its own accord, so long as the mind concentrates on the oneness of God, and the reason looks upon as fiction or worse the idea that the one God fathered a Son from eternity, and also that God the Father together with the Son and the Holy Spirit, each of whom is severally God, is one God. This fiction is utterly exploded, like a meteorite in the atmosphere, when it is shown from the Word that it was Jehovah God Himself who came down and became man and also was the Redeemer.
[2] The first point, that it was Jehovah God Himself who came down and became man, is established by these passages:
Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, who shall be called God with us, Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23.
A boy is born for us, a son is given to us, on whose shoulder the dominion shall be; and his name shall be called Wonderful, God, Hero, the everlasting Father, the Prince of peace, Isaiah 9:6-7.
On that day it will be said, Behold, He is our God, whom we have awaited to free us. He is Jehovah, whom we have awaited. Let us exult and rejoice in His salvation, Isaiah 25:9.
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way for Jehovah, make smooth in the desert a path for our God; and all flesh shall see it together, Isaiah 40:3, 5.
Behold, the Lord Jehovih comes in strength, and His arm shall bear dominion for Him. Behold, His recompense comes with Him; He will tend His flock like a shepherd, Isaiah 40:10-11.
Jehovah said, Shout for joy and rejoice, daughter of Zion; behold, I come to dwell in your midst; then shall many nations cleave to Jehovah on that day, Zechariah 2:10-11.
I Jehovah have called you in righteousness, and I will give you to be a covenant with the people. I am Jehovah, this is my name; my glory I shall not give to another, Isaiah 42:1, 6-8.
Behold, the days will come when I will raise up for David a righteous shoot, who will reign as king and do judgment and righteousness upon earth; and this is His name, Jehovah our righteousness, Jeremiah 23:5-6; 33:15-16.
There are also the passages where the Lord's coming is called 'the day of Jehovah', as Isaiah 13:6, 9, 13, 22; Ezekiel 31:15; Joel 1:15; 2:1-2, 11, 29, 31; 3:1, 14, 18; Amos 5:13, 18, 20; Zephaniah 1:7-18; Zechariah 14:1, 4-21; and elsewhere.
[3] It is openly stated in Luke that Jehovah Himself came down and took upon Himself human form.
Mary said to the angel, How shall this happen, since I have no knowledge of a man? The angel answered her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, so that the holy thing that is born of you will be called the Son of God, Luke 1:34-35.
And in Matthew the angel said in a dream to Joseph, who was betrothed to Mary, that that which was born of her was of the Holy Spirit; and Joseph did not know her until she had borne a son, and he called His name Jesus, Matthew 1:20, 25. The Holy Spirit means the Divine which proceeds from Jehovah God, as will be seen in Chapter 3 of this book. Everyone knows that a child gets its soul and life from the father, its body from the mother. 1 So how could it be more openly stated that the Lord's soul and life were from Jehovah God, and because the Divine cannot be divided, that the Father's Divine itself was His soul and life? That is why the Lord so many times called Jehovah God His Father, and Jehovah God called Him His Son. Can anything more ridiculous be said than the idea that our Lord's soul was from His mother Mary? Yet such is the dream of both Roman Catholics and Protestants today, and they have not woken up to what is said in the Word.
Footnotes:
1. Reading ex matre 'from the mother' for ex anima 'from the soul', apparently a repetition from the preceding clause, cf. 92[1]; 103[1].
82. (1) Jehovah God descended and assumed a Human that He might redeem men and save them. In the Christian churches at this day it is believed that God the Creator of the universe begat a Son from eternity, and that this Son descended and assumed a Human in order to redeem and save men. But this is an error, and of itself falls to the ground as soon as it is considered that God is one, and that it is worse than incredible in the sight of reason to say that the one God begat a Son from eternity, and that God the Father, together with the Son and Holy Spirit, each one of whom singly is God, is one God. This incredible notion is wholly dissipated, like a falling star in midair, when it is shown from the Word that Jehovah God Himself descended and became Man and also Redeemer.
[2] The first statement, that it was Jehovah God Himself who descended and became Man, is made clear in the following passages:
Behold, a virgin shall conceive and shall bear a Son, who shall be called God-with-us (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:22, 23).
Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, God, Mighty, Father of Eternity, the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).
It shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him that He may deliver us; this is Jehovah; we have waited for Him; let us exult and be glad in His salvation (Isaiah 25:9).
The voice of one crying in the desert, Prepare ye the way of Jehovah; make level in the wilderness a highway for our God, and all flesh shall see it together (Isaiah 40:3, 5).
Behold, the Lord Jehovah cometh in strength, and His arm shall rule for Him behold, His reward is with Him. He shall feed His flock like a shepherd (Isaiah 40:10, 11).
Jehovah said, Sing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for lo, I come to dwell in the midst of thee. Then many nations shall cleave to Jehovah in that day (Zechariah 2:10, 11).
I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and I will give thee for a covenant of the people. I am Jehovah; this is My name; My glory will I not give to another (Isaiah 42:6-8).
Behold, the days come, that I will raise up unto David a righteous Branch and He shall reign as King, and He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth, and this is His name, Jehovah our righteousness (Jeremiah 23:5, 6; 33:15, 16).
See also the places where the Lord's coming is called "the day of Jehovah" (as in Isaiah 13:6, 9, 13, 22; Ezekiel 31:15; Joel 1:15; 2:1, 2, 11; 3:1, 13:14, 18; Amos 5:13, 15:18, 20; Zephaniah 1:7-18; Zechariah 14:1, 4-21; and elsewhere).
[3] That it was Jehovah Himself who descended and assumed the Human is especially evident in Luke, where it is said:
Mary said to the angel, How shall this come to pass, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee; therefore also that holy thing that is born of thee shall be called the Son of God (Luke 1:34, 35).
And in Matthew:
The angel said to Joseph, the bridegroom of Mary, in a dream, that that which was begotten in her was of the Holy Spirit. And Joseph knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son, and he called His name Jesus (Matthew 1:20, 25).
It will be shown in the third chapter of this work that the Divine that goes forth from Jehovah God is what is meant by the Holy Spirit. Who does not know that the offspring has its soul and life from the father, and that the body is from the soul? Can anything, then, be more plainly declared than that the Lord had His soul and life from Jehovah God; and as the Divine cannot be divided, that the very Divine of the Father was His soul and life? This is why the Lord so often called Jehovah God His Father, and why Jehovah God called Him His Son. Can there be anything, then, more absurd than to say that the soul of the Lord was from His mother Mary? as is at this day dreamed by both the Roman Catholics and the Reformed, they not having yet been awakened by the Word.
82. (1) JEHOVAH GOD DESCENDED AND ASSUMED THE HUMAN, IN ORDER TO REDEEM AND SAVE MANKIND.
It is believed at this day in the Christian Churches that God, the Creator of the universe, beget a Son from eternity, who descended and assumed a human in order to redeem and save mankind. This, however, is erroneous, and cannot be upheld when it is considered that God is one, and that it is utterly opposed to reason to say that the one God beget a Son from eternity, and that God the Father, together with the Son and the Holy Spirit, each of whom separately is God, is one God. This absurd belief is completely dissipated, like a falling star in the air, when it is shown from the Word that Jehovah God Himself descended and became Man and also the Redeemer.
[2] The first point, that Jehovah God Himself descended and became Man, is evident from the following passages:
"Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and shall bear a son, who shall be called God with us (A.V., Immanuel)" Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23.
"Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful,...the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace" Isaiah 9:6.
"It shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us: this is JEHOVAH; we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation" Isaiah 25:9.
"The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of JEHOVAH, make straight in the desert a highway for our God,... and all flesh shall see it together" Isaiah 40:3, 6.
"Behold, the Lord Jehovih (A.V., Lord God), will come with strong hand, and His arm shall rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him... He shall feed His flock like a shepherd" Isaiah 40:10-11.
"Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith JEHOVAH: and many nations shall be joined to JEHOVAH in that day" Zechariah 2:10-11.
"I JEHOVAH have called thee in righteousness,... and will give thee for a covenant to the people... I am JEHOVAH; that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another" Isaiah 42:6, 8.
"Behold the days come,... that I will raise unto David a righteous branch, and a king shall reign... and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth,... and this is His name... JEHOVAH our righteousness" Jeremiah 23:6, 6; 33:15-16.
Besides these there are other passages where the Coming of the Lord is called the Day of Jehovah, as Isaiah 13:6, 9, 13; Ezekiel 31:15; Joel 1:15; 2:1, 11; 3:1, 14, 18; Amos 5:13, 18, 20; Zephaniah 1:7-18; Zechariah 14:1, 4-21; and in other places.
[3] That Jehovah Himself descended and assumed the Human is clearly evident in Luke, where it is written:
"Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God" Luke 1:34-35.
And in Matthew:
The angel said to Joseph, the husband of Mary, in a dream, that what was conceived in her was of the Holy Spirit. And Joseph knew her not till she had brought forth her son: "And he called His name Jesus" 1:20-25.
It will be seen in the third chapter of this work that by the Holy Spirit is meant the Divine which proceeds from Jehovah God. Everyone knows that a child receives his soul and life from his father, and that the body is from the soul. What then is more clearly stated than that the Lord received His soul and life from Jehovah God? And since the Divine cannot be divided, what is more evident than that the Divine itself of the Father was His soul and life? It was for this reason that the Lord so often called Jehovah God His Father, and Jehovah God called Him His own Son. What, then, could one hear more unreasonable than that the soul of our Lord was derived from Mary, His mother, as both Roman Catholics and Protestants at this day affirm, as in a dream, not being as yet awakened by the light of the Word?
82. I. QUOD JEHOVAH DEUS DESCENDERIT ET ASSUMSERIT HUMANUM, UT REDIMERET ET SALVARET HOMINES. In Ecclesiis Christianis hodie creditur, quod Deus Creator Universi genuerit Filium ab aeterno, et quod Hic descenderit et assumserit Humanum ad redimendum et salvandum homines; sed hoc erroneum est, et cadit ex se, dummodo cogitatur, quod Deus unus sit, et quod plus quam fabulosum sit coram ratione quod Deus unus ab aeterno aliquem Filium genuerit, et quoque quod Deus Pater una cum Filio et cum Spiritu Sancto, quorum quisque singulatim Deus est, sit unus Deus; hoc fabulosum prorsus dissipatur, sicut Stella caduca in aerem, dum e Verbo demonstratur, quod Ipse Jehovah Deus descenderit, et Homo factus sit, et quoque Redemptor.
[2] Quod primum attinet, quod Ipse Jehovah Deus descenderit, et Homo factus sit, constat ex his locis, "Ecce Virgo concipiet, et pariet Filium, qui vocabitur DEUS NOBISCUM, Esaias 7:14; Matthaeus 1:22-23. Puer natus est nobis, Filius datus est nobis, super cujus humero Principatus, et vocabitur Nomen Ipsius, Mirabilis, DEUS, Heros, PATER AETERNITATIS, Princeps pacis, Esaias 9:5-6. 1 Dicetur in die illo, ecce DEUS NOSTER 2 Hic, quem exspectavimus ut liberet nos; Hic JEHOVAH, 3 quem exspectavimus; exultemus et laetemur in salute 4 Ipsius, Esaias 25:9. Vox clamantis in deserto, parate viam JEHOVAE, complanate in solitudine semitam DEO NOSTRO, et videbunt omnis caro simul, Esaias 40:3, 5. Ecce DOMINUS JEHOVIH in forti venit, et brachium IPSIUS dominabitur IPSI; ecce merces IPSIUS cum IPSO, sicut PASTOR gregem suum pascet, Esaias 40:10-11. Dixit JEHOVAH, jubila et laetare filia Sionis, ecce Ego venio, ut habitem in medio tui: tunc adhaerebunt Gentes multae JEHOVAE in die illo, Sacharia 2:14, 15. 5 EGO JEHOVAH, vocavi Te in justitia, et dabo Te in foedus populi, EGO JEHOVAH, hoc Nomen meum, gloriam meam non alteri dabo, 6 Esaias 42:6, 8. 7 Ecce dies venientes, cum suscitabo Davidi germen justum, qui regnet Rex, 8 faciatque judicium et justitiam in terra, et hoc Nomen Ipsius, JEHOVAH JUSTITIA NOSTRA," Jeremias 23:5-6; 33:15-16. Praeter in locis, ubi adventus Domini vocatur DIES JEHOVAE, ut Esaias 13:6, 9, 13, 22; Ezechiel 31:15, Joel 1:15; 2:1-2, 11; 3:2, 4, 9 Joel 4:1, 14, 18, 10 Amos 5:13, 18, 20. Zephanias 1:7-18, Sacharia 14:1, 4-21, praeter alibi.
[3] Quod Ipse Jehovah descenderit et assumserit Humanum, constat aperte apud Lucam, ubi haec, "Maria dixit ad Angelum, quomodo fiet hoc, quoniam virum non cognosco, cui respondit Angelus, SPIRITUS SANCTUS SUPERVENIET TE, ET VIRTUS ALTISSIMI OBUMBRABIT TE, unde quod nascitur ex te SANCTUM, vocabitur Filius Dei," 1:34-35. Et apud Matthaeum, "Dixit Angelus ad Josephum sponsum Mariae in somnio, quod in illa natum est, ex SPIRITU SANCTO 11 est; et Josephus non cognovit illam usque dum peperit Filium, et vocavit nomen Ipsius Jesum," 1:20, 25: quod per Spiritum Sanctum intelligatur Divinum quod a Jehovah Deo procedit, in Capite Tertio hujus Operis videbitur: quis non scit quod ex Patre sit Anima et Vita proli, et quod ex Anima sit Corpus, quid itaque apertius dicitur quam quod Domino ex Jehovah Deo fuerit Anima et Vita, et quia Divinum non potest dividi, quod ipsum Divinum Patris fuerit Ejus Anima et Vita; quare Dominus toties Jehovam Deum vocavit Patrem suum, et Jehovah Deus Ipsum vocavit Filium suum: Quid ergo ludicrius potest audiri, quam quod Anima Domini nostri fuerit ex Maria matre, sicut hodie somniant 12 et Romano Catholici et Reformati, nec adhuc vigiles facti sunt ex Verbo.
