Cyril of Jerusalem

  • “For if they should insist that these things are said of David or Solomon or any of their successors, let them shew how the throne of him, who is in their judgment described in the prophecy, is as the days of heaven, and as the sun before God, and as the moon established for ever.” — editor's note: vv. 29, 36, 37.
