Psalm 132:17

“For the same John is called not merely an “angel” of Christ, but withal a “lamp” shining before Christ: for David predicts, “I have prepared the lamp for my Christ;” and him Christ Himself, coming “to fulfil the prophets,” called so to the Jews.” — editor's note: See Ps. cxxxii. 17 (cxxi. 17 in LXX.).
