Hear, O Jesus thou high priest, thou and thy friends that dwell before thee, for they are portending men: for behold, I WILL BRING MY SERVANT THE ORIENT.

Portending men…​ That is, men, who by words and actions are to foreshew wonders that are to come.-Ibid. My servant the Orient…​ Christ, who according to his humanity is the servant of God, is called the Orient from his rising like the sun in the east to enlighten the world.
