Evang. IV. cap. 16)., others the flesh which He took upon Him from the Virgin, according to the Apostle’s word, But we have this treasure in earthen vessels 2 Cor. iv. 7.  The reference of the ‘lamp’ to Christ’s Incarnation is mentioned by Eusebius (u.s.) and other Fathers..  The Prophet was not ignorant of Him, when He said, and announceth unto men His Christ Amos. iv. 13:  “and declareth unto man what is his thought.”  For ו&x#o@”־המ, ‘what is his thought,’ the LXX. read וׂחישִֹמְ, ‘His Anointed,’ τὸν Χριστὸν αὐτοῦ..  Moses also knew Him, Isaiah knew Him, and Jeremiah; not one of the Prophets was ignorant of Him.  Even devils recognised Him, for He rebuked them, and the Scripture says, because they knew that He was ChristLuke iv. 41..  The Chief-priests knew Him not, and the devils confessed Him:  the Chief Priests knew Him not, and a woman of Samaria proclaimed Him, saying, Come, see a man which told me all things that ever I did.  Is not this the Christ John iv. 29.?
