Book V - Snyder Bible

The Preaching of Simeon Kefa 185
was contained in the sacred writings, that He was to be waited
for by the Gentiles. And all these things were equally fulfilled
in Him.
Chapter XI: The Expectation of the Gentiles
But that which a prophet of the Jews foretold, that He was
to be waited for by the Gentiles, confirms above measure the
truth of faith in Him. For if he had said that He was to be
waited for by the Jews, he would not have seemed to prophesy
anything extraordinary, that He whose coming had been
promised for the salvation of the world should be the object of
hope to the people of the same tribe with Himself, and to His
own nation: for that this would take place would seem rather
to be a matter of natural inference than one requiring the
grandeur of a prophetic utterance. But now, whereas the
prophets say that all that hope which is set forth concerning
the salvation of the world, and the newness of the kingdom
which is to be established by Moshiach, and all things which
are declared concerning Him are to be transferred to the Gentiles;
the grandeur of the prophetic office is confirmed, not
according to the sequence of things, but by an incredible fulfillment
of the prophecy. For the Jews from the beginning had
understood by a most certain tradition that this man should at
some time come, by whom all things should be restored; and
daily meditating and looking out for His coming, when they
saw Him amongst them and accomplishing the signs and miracles,
as had been written of Him, being blinded with envy,
they could not recognize Him when present, in the hope of
whom they rejoiced while He was absent; yet the few of us
who were chosen by Him understood it.
Chapter XII: Call of the Gentiles
But this was all accomplished by Yahwehs providence,
that the knowledge of this good One should be handed over to
the Gentiles, and those who had never heard of Him, nor had
learned from the prophets, should acknowledge Him, while
those who had acknowledged Him in their daily meditations
