For behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant, that with power, the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth, who was, and is from all eternity to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty miracles... And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning...
