This unconscious babe was the promised seed, to whom the first altar at the gate of Eden pointed. This was Shiloh, the peace giver. ... This was He whom seers had long foretold. He was the Desire of all nations, the Root and the Offspring of David, and the Bright and Morning Star. {FLB 47.6}

Det intetanende lille barn var den lovede sæd, til hvem det første alter ved Edens port pegede på. Dette var Silo, fredsgiveren. . . . Dette var ham som seeren havde forudsagt. Han var alle folkeslagenes Ønske, Rodskuddet af Davids æt, det klare morgenstjerne.
