Chapter LIV.—What the blood of the
grape signifies.
“And that expression which was committed to
writing2118
| 2118 Literally,
“inquired into.” | by Moses, and prophesied by the
patriarch Jacob, namely, ‘He shall wash His garments with wine, and
His vesture with the blood of the grape,’ signified that He would
wash those that believe in Him with His own blood. For the Holy Spirit
called those who receive remission of sins through Him, His garments;
amongst whom He is always present in power, but will be manifestly
present at His second coming. That the Scripture mentions the blood of
the grape has been evidently designed, because Christ derives blood not
from the seed of man, but from the power of God. For as God, and not man,
has produced the blood of the vine, so also [the Scripture] has predicted
that the blood of Christ would be not of the seed of man, but of the
power of God. But this prophecy, sirs, which I repeated, proves that
Christ is not man of men, begotten in the ordinary course of
humanity.”E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
