For the prophecy not only indicates that God is to sojourn here, but it announces the signs and the time of His coming. For they connect the blind recovering their sight, and the lame walking, and the deaf hearing, and the tongue of the stammerers being made plain, with the Divine Coming which is to take place.
-St. Athanasios the Great, Incarnation of the Word, 38, B#17 SS, Vol. IV, pp.56-57., 4th century
