Excerpt from The History of the Jews, From the War With Rome to the Present Time It will, of course, be answered that to charge our Lord with blasphemy and setting up of a strange god, is simply to beg the whole question at issue between Jew and Christian. Indeed, considering that the Hebrew Scriptures distinctly declare the Messiah to be God1 (psa. Xlv. 6; Isa. Vii. I4: ix. 6, etc), according to this view of the matter, at what ever period He might come, it must be the duty of the Jews to put Him to death, as soon as He declared His true character. It might be asked-how were the Jews to know that Jesus was really what He proclaimed Himself? Our answer is, that in the fulfilment of prophecy in Him, in the exercise of His miraculous powers, and the superhuman holiness of His teaching, they had sufficient evidence that He was indeed the Christ. They had, in fact, t/ize evidence of it which Divine wisdom accounted sufficient. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
