Eusebius of Caesarea

PROOF OF THE GOSPEL 6.14 (339)

And here it is clearly foretold that that one will come whom prophecy says will come. Who could this be but he who is referred to in the words, "Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord, the Lord God also has shone upon us"? With which also Zechariah agrees, when he says, "Behold a man, the Dawn is his name, and he shall rise from below." The same prophet too, noting the time, adds, "At eventide it shall be light. If he delays, wait for him."

There is an appointed time for both, and beyond that time he will not tarry, Hab. ii. The Christian's present conflict may be sharp, but it will be soon over.
