Text:EBD:Consolation of Israel
Revision as of 15:39, 2 November 2008 by Kathleen.wright5 (talk | contribs) (Consolation of Israel (EBD) moved to Text:EBD:Consolation of Israel)
A name for the Messiah in common use among the Jews, probably suggested by Isa. 12:1; 49:13. The Greek word thus rendered (Luke 2:25, paraklesis) is kindred to that translated "Comforter" in John 14:16, etc., parakletos.
