Tertullian, on Isa 40:3
Tertullian · c. A.D. 150–220
Isa 40:3 · Douay-Rheims
“The voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the wilderness the paths of our God.”
On this verse:
“Since even then by Isaiah it was Christ, the Word and the Spirit of the Creator who prophetically described John as "the voice of one crying in the wilderness to prepare the way of the Lord." And [he] was about to come forth for the purpose of terminating from that point onwards the course of the law and the prophets: by their fulfillment and not their extinction.”
