'Before Your Face' in the Bible
It is this man about whom it is written: 'Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.'
As it is written and forever remains in the [writings of the] prophet Isaiah:“Behold, I send My messenger ahead of You,Who will prepare Your way—
This is the one of whom it is written [by the prophet Malachi],‘Behold, I send My messenger ahead of You,Who will prepare Your way before You.’
But I Paul exhort you through the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who before your face am indeed humble among you, but being absent am bold towards you:
Ye look at the things that are before your face. If any man trusteth in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ's, so also are we.
