"infidelity" of Peter punished with the opprobrious epithet
of "satan," within half an hour's time or so? Several
reflections present themselves to my mind, and I feel it my
bounden duty to put them in black and white. If Jesus
were "the Son of Man" or "the Messiah" as seen and fore-
told by Daniel, Ezra, Enoch, and the other Jewish prophets
and divines, he would have authorized his disciples to pro-
claim and acclaim him as such; and he himself would have
supported them. The fact is that he acted the very reverse.
Again, if he were the Messiah, or the Barnasha, he would
have at once struck his enemies with terror, and by the aid
of his invisible angels destroyed the Roman and Persian
powers, then dominant over the civilized world. But he did
nothing of the sort; or, like Prophet Muhammad, he would have
recruited some valiant warriors like 'Ali, Omar, Khalid, etc.,
and not like Zebedees and Jonahs, who vanished, like a
frightened specter when the Roman police came to arrest
of "satan," within half an hour's time or so? Several
