SCRIPTURE

"The breaker is gone up before them: they have broken forth and passed on to the gate, and are gone out thereat; and their king is passed on before them, and Jehovah at the head of them." — Micah 2:13 (ASV)

The breaker. —“This Breaker is, by the confession of the Jews, the title of the Messiah.... The same appears by that saying of Moses Haddershan in Bereshith Rabba: The plantation from above is Messiah; as it is written, the Breaker is come up before them” (Pearson, On the Creed, Art. 6, note).
