Show BOOK OF MOSTAR. BOOK Was oppressed, and he was afllicted, yet he opened not hig mouth: heis brought asa lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall de. clare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the diving: for the transgressions of my people was he stricken , And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death ; because he had done no evil, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he Shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. He shall sce of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bea their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; cause he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he wisbe: numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the gins of me RY ade intercession for the transgressors. OnXy ot Abinadi saith unto them, f would hat God himself shall come down at ein ye shoud the chil ren of men, and shall redeem his people; and_because_he dwellethin flesh, he shall be called the Son of God: ant naving subjected the flesh to the will of the Father, being the Father and the Son; the Father, because he was conceived b the .power of God; and the Son, because of the flesh; hus becoming the Father and Son: and they are one Gol yea, the very Eternal Father of Heaven and of Earth; até thus the flesh becoming subject to the Spirit, or the Son the Father, being one God, suffereth temptation, and yieldeth not to the temptation, but suffereth himself to be mocked, and “courged, and cast out, and disowned by his people. after all this, and after working Av! many mighty miracles amo" the children of men, he shall be led, yea, AS a sheep before the shearer is dumb, even as Isaiuh said, so he opened not bis mouth ; yea, éven so he shall be led, crucified, and slain, thé flesh becoming subject even unto death, the will of the 50" being swallowed up in the will of the Father; and thus 0° breaketh. the bands of death: having gained the victory ov" death; giving the Son power to make intercession for thé children of men; having ascended into heaven; having the bowels of mercy; being filled with compassion toward the OF MOSIAR, 187 ghildren of men; standing betwixt them and justice; having broken the bands of death, taken upon himself their iniquity and their transgressions ; having redeemed them, and satisfied the demands of justice. And now I say unto you, Who shall declare his generation? Behold, I say unto you, that when his soul has been made an offering for sin, he shall see his seed. And now what say ye? And who shall be his seed? Behold I say unto you, that whosoever hath heard the words of the prophets, yea, all the Holy Prophets which have prophesied concerning the coming of the Lord; I say unto, that all those who hath hearkened unto their words, and believed that the Lord would redeem his people, and have looked forward to that day for a remission of their sins; I say unto you, that these are his seed, or they are heirs of the Kingdom of God: for these are they whose sins he hath borne; these are they for whom he hath died, to redeem them from their transgressions. And now, are they not his seed? Yea, and are not the prophets, every one that has opened his mouth to prophesy, that has not fallen into transgression; I mean all the Holy rophets ever since the world began ; I say unto you that they are his seed: and these are they which hath publi shed peace, mat hath brought good tidings of good, that hath published salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! And O how beautiful upon the mountains were their feet! And again: ow beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those that we still publishing peace! And again: How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those who shall hereafter publish Peace, yea, from this time henceforth and forever!--”And be- 1 told, I say unto you, this is not all: For-O how beautiful up- / |, on the mountains are the feet, inv that bringeth good tidings, th thats) the founder of peace; “yéa, even the Lord, who. hath | © redeemed his people ;>yeathim who hath granted salvation "nto his people: for were it not for the redempt ion which he ath made for his people, which was prepared from the Oundation of the world; I say unto you, were it not for this, that all mankind must have perished. But behold, the bands death shall be broken, and the Son reigneth , and hath power bi the dead; therefore, he bringeth to pass the resurrection mah © dead; And there cometh a resurrection, oe Ben yea, even a resurrection of those that even a first have been, eee are, and which shall be, even until the rssurrec tion » fist: for so shall he be called.
