Justin Martyr

Justin on the Names of Jesus in OT

“But, Trypho,” I continued, “if you had known who he is who at one time is called angel of great counsel, and Man by Ezekiel, and the Son of Man by Daniel, and a child by Isaiah, and Christ and God [and] who is to be adored by David, and Christ and Stone by many prophets, and Wisdom by Solomon and Joseph and Judah, and a Star by Moses, and Dawn by Zechariah, and the Suffering One and Jacob and Israel again by Isaiah, and a Rod and Flower and Cornerstone and Son of God you would not have blasphemed him who has come, and assumed human nature, and suffered, and ascended into heaven. And he shall return again, and then your twelve tribes will weep.
