So in Bammidbar Rabba, ยง 15, fol. 229.1, "The Israelites said to God, O Lord of the universe, thou commandest us to light lamps to thee, yet thou art the light of the world." It was also a title of the Messiah - see Isaiah 49:6; 60:1
and in a remarkable passage of Yalkut Rubeni, fol. 6, it is said on Genesis 1:4, "From this we learn that the holy and blessed God saw the light of the Messiah, and his works, before the world was created; and reserved it for the Messiah, and his generation, under the throne of his glory. Satan said to the holy and blessed God, For whom dost thou reserve that light which is under the throne of thy glory? God answered, For him who shall subdue thee, and overwhelm thee with confusion. Satan rejoined, Lord of the universe, shew that person to me. God said, Come, and see him. When he saw him, he was greatly agitated, and fell upon his face, saying, Truly this is the Messiah, who shall cast me and idolaters into hell.ReciprocalMark 2:28 - General; 10:52 - he received; Luke 1:79 - give; 18:43 - he; 1 John 1:5 - that God

This was the effect of well-directed surgery; that performed by Christ was wholly a miracle, effected by the power of God. The simple means employed could have had no effect in this case, and were merely employed as symbols.the worldJob 20:4; Isaiah 64:4; Luke 1:70; Revelation 16:18ReciprocalMark 2:12 - We never; 10:52 - he received; John 9:1 - he saw; 10:21 - Can; 15:24 - If Verse 33wereJohn 9:16, 3:2; Acts 5:38, 5:39ReciprocalJohn 15:5 - can; Acts 2:22 - which Verse 34wastJohn 9:2, 8:41; Job 14:4, 15:14-16, 25:4; Psalm 51:5; Galatians 2:15; Ephesians 2:3 and dostJohn 9:40, 7:48, 7:49; Genesis 19:9; Exodus 2:14; 2 Chronicles 25:16; Proverbs 9:7, 9:8, 26:12, 29:1; Isaiah 65:5; Luke 11:45, 14:11, 18:10-14, 18:17; 1 Peter 5:5 And theyJohn 9:22, 6:37; Proverbs 22:10; Isaiah 66:5; Luke 6:22; 3 John 1:9; Revelation 13:17 cast him outor, excommunicated him, Matthew 18:17, 18:18; 1 Corinthians 5:4, 5:5, 5:13ReciprocalEzra 10:8 - himself separated; Job 19:5 - plead; Matthew 23:13 - for ye shut; Mark 2:17 - They that are whole; Luke 18:9 - which; John 5:15 - which; 7:13 - spake; 7:52 - Art; 9:28 - they; 12:42 - lest; 16:2 - shall; Romans 2:19 - art confident; Galatians 5:12 - cut; 1 Peter 4:14 - reproached; 3 John 1:10 - and casteth Verse 35and whenJohn 5:14; Psalm 27:10; Romans 10:20 DostJohn 1:49, 1:50, 3:15-18, 3:36, 6:69, 11:27, 20:28, 20:31; Acts 8:37, 9:20; 1 John 4:15; 5:5, 5:10, 5:13, 5:20 the SonJohn 1:18, 1:34, 10:36; Psalm 2:7, 2:12; Matthew 14:33, 16:16; Mark 1:1; Romans 1:4; Habakkuk 1:2-9; 1 John 5:13ReciprocalMark 9:7 - This; John 4:10 - and who; 11:26 - Believest; Galatians 2:20 - the Son; 3 John 1:10 - and casteth Verse 36WhoJohn 1:38; Proverbs 30:3, 30:4; Song of Songs 5:9; Matthew 11:3ReciprocalJohn 9:39 - that they; 11:27 - Yea Verse 37ThouJohn 4:26, 7:17, 14:21-23; Psalm 25:8, 25:9, 25:14; Matthew 11:25, 13:11, 13:12; Acts 10:31-33ReciprocalIsaiah 42:20 - Seeing Verse 38LordJohn 20:28; Psalm 2:12, 45:11; Matthew 14:33, 28:9, 28:17; Luke 24:52; Revelation 5:9-14ReciprocalMatthew 2:2 - worship; 8:2 - worshipped; Luke 17:15 - General Verse 39ForJohn 3:17, 5:22-27, 8:15; Jeremiah 1:9, 1:10; Luke 2:34, 13:30; 2 Corinthians 2:16 that theyJohn 9:25, 9:36-38, 8:12, 12:46; Matthew 11:5; Luke 1:79, 4:18, 7:21; Acts 26:18; 2 Corinthians 4:4-6; Ephesians 5:14; 1 Peter 2:9 might beJohn 3:19, 12:40, 12:41; Isaiah 6:9, 29:10, 42:18-20, 44:18; Matthew 6:23, 13:13-15; Luke 11:34, 11:35; Romans 11:7-10; 2 Thessalonians 2:10; 1 John 2:11Reciprocal2 Kings 6:18 - Smite this people; Job 24:13 - rebel; Psalm 119:18 - Open; Isaiah 29:14 - for the wisdom; 35:5 - the eyes; 42:7 - open; 42:19 - Who is blind; 50:11 - This shall; Ezekiel 12:2 - which; Hosea 14:9 - but; Zechariah 11:17 - the sword; Malachi 3:2 - who may abide; Matthew 11:25 - because; 23:16 - ye blind; Mark 10:52 - he received; Luke 14:21 - Go; 18:43 - he; 20:7 - that; John 8:26 - to judge; 9:7 - and came; Acts 13:11 - thou; 1 Corinthians 2:8 - for; 2 Corinthians 3:14 - their; 1 Timothy 1:13 - because Verse 40AreJohn 9:34, 7:47-52; Matthew 15:12-14, 23:16-28; Luke 11:39-54; Romans 2:19-22; Revelation 3:17Reciprocal2 Chronicles 18:23 - Which way; Proverbs 14:16 - the fool; 16:25 - General; 23:9 - he; 29:8 - Scornful; Jeremiah 6:10 - the word; 18:18 - for the; Zephaniah 1:17 - they shall; Matthew 3:7 - the Pharisees; 21:27 - We cannot tell; Mark 2:17 - They that are whole; Luke 11:45 - thou; 18:43 - he; John 7:49 - General; 1 Timothy 1:7 - understanding; Habakkuk 3:1 - contradiction; 2 Peter 1:9 - blind Verse 41IfJohn 15:22-24; Proverbs 26:12; Isaiah 5:21; Jeremiah 2:35; Luke 12:47, 18:14; Habakkuk 3:1; 1 John 1:8-10ReciprocalLeviticus 13:13 - he is clean; 2 Chronicles 18:23 - Which way; Proverbs 29:8 - Scornful; Isaiah 42:19 - Who is blind; Jeremiah 8:8 - We; Zephaniah 1:17 - they shall; Matthew 21:27 - We cannot tell; John 19:11 - the greater; Romans 2:19 - art confident; 1 Timothy 1:7 - understanding; James 4:17 - General; 2 Peter 1:9 - blind; 2:21 - it had; 1 John 2:9 - he is; Revelation 3:17 - blind
