As to thy question concerning the 12th chapter of
Ecclesiastes: This is prophecy regarding the coming of Jesus in that book, the
signs and marks of which were fulfilled with the appearance of the Promised One
of the Bible; [the Old Testament] but since the Jews did not understand the
meaning thereof, so they denied Jesus and— God forbid! —said that He was the
deformed (Antichrist). Then it is said by Jesus in the Gospel, that similar
signs would appear in the “last day”—or in other words—in the day when Christ
will come the second time in this world.
