Isaiah also prophesied by the Holy Ghost, saying, "Behold, the Lord
sitting upon a light cloud, and He will come to Egypt, and the idols of
Egypt shall be shaken." The Christ went into Egypt clothed with pure
flesh from Mary whom God purified, and by this He honoured us, as a king
honours his servant when he clothes himself with his garment. Then He it was
who shook the idols of Egypt and brought to nought the work of the Devil
through it, and led them away from the error of Satan to the truth of God
and His merchandise; and He has made His light to dawn in their hearts.
Look, when was Egypt saved from the worship of idols and the error of Satan,

faithful Job prophesied about Him by the Holy Ghost.
The prophet David also prophesied thus by the Holy Ghost, saying,
"By the Word of God were the heavens built, and by the Spirit of His
mouth He gave life to all the angel-hosts." If God, blessed be His

His Spirit, the Christ is the Word of God and His Spirit, as ye bear
witness, and do not reproach us when we believe in the Christ, the God of
God; He created the heavens and the earth, and by Him He gave life to the
angels and to all people.
The faithful Job also prophesied by the Holy Ghost, saying, "It is
the Spirit of God that hath created me, and in His name
