Jews
Illustration★★Determined Blindness of the, At a solemn disputation which was held at Venice, in the seventeenth century, between a Jew and s Christian—the Christian strongly argued, from Daniei’s prophecy of the seventy weeks, that Jesus was the Messiah whom the Jews had long expected from the predictions of their prophets: the learned Rabbi who presided at this disputation, was so forcibly struck by the argument, that he put an end to the business by saying, “ Let usshut up our Bibles, for if we proceed in the examination of this prophecy, it will make us all become Christians.” Bp. Watson.
The point
A Jewish rabbi halts a debate rather than admit that Daniel's prophecy proves Jesus is the Messiah.
