The Successive Prophecies of Christ
Supposing one single man to have left a book of predictions concerning Jesus Christ as to the time and
manner of His coming, and supposing Him to have come agreeably to these predictions, the argument
would be of almost infinite force; yet here the evidence is stronger beyond all comparison; a succession of
men for the space of four thousand years follow one another, without interruption or variation, in
foretelling the same great event. A whole people are the harbingers of the Messias, and such a people as
subsisted four thousand years to testify in a general body their assured hope and expectation, from which
no severity of threats or persecutions could oblige them to depart. This is a case which challengeth in a far
more transcendent degree our assent and wonder. -Pascal.
