Chapter XXXVI.—Different modes of
prophecy.
But when you hear the utterances of the
prophets spoken as it were personally, you must not suppose that they are
spoken by the inspired themselves, but by the Divine Word who moves them.
For sometimes He declares things that are to come to pass, in the manner
of one who foretells the future; sometimes He speaks as from the person
of God the Lord and Father of all; sometimes as from the person of
Christ; sometimes as from the person of the people answering the Lord or
His Father, just as you can see even in your own writers, one man being
the writer of the whole, but introducing the persons who converse. And this the
Jews who possessed the books of the prophets did not understand, and
therefore did not recognise Christ even when He came, but even hate us
who say that He has come, and who prove that, as was predicted, He was
crucified by them. E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
