35. But hear also such a passage as you
can build no doubts
upon: No doubts, because
(1) the meaning of the passage is plain; (2) it is taken from an
inspired Book. “Behold, He cometh,”
saith the Scripture, “with the clouds, and every eye shall see
Him, and they which pierced Him, and all the tribes of the earth shall
mourn because of Him. Yea, amen. I am Alpha and Omega,
saith the Lord God, Who is, and Who was, and Who is to come, the
Almighty.” Rev. i. 8. Whom, I
ask, did they pierce? For Whose coming hope we but the
Son’s? Therefore, Christ is Almighty Lord, and
God.
