For even then how could the fact that God was to come in the flesh escape the knowledge of men, when the Prophet said openly as if to all mankind of Him: \u201cBehold your God;\u201d and elsewhere: \u201cBehold our God.\u201d And this: \u201cGod the mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace;\u201d and: \u201cof His kingdom there shall be no end.\u201d 2617 But also when He had already come, could the fact of His having come escape the knowledge of those who openly confessed that He had come? Was Peter ignorant of the coming of God, when he said, \u201cThou art the Christ, the Son of the living God?\u201d 2618 Did not Martha know what she was saying or whom she believed in, when she said, \u201cYea, Lord, I have believed that Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God, who art come into this world?\u201d 2619 And all those men, who sought from Him the cure of their sicknesses, or the restoration of their limbs, or the life of their dead, did they ask these things from man\u2019s weakness, or from God\u2019s omnipotence?\nIsa. 40:9, Isa. 25:9, Isa. 9:6, 7.\n610:2618\nS.
