(1) [Greek or Hebrew], Praecursor; is one who in an affair of public concern, makes speed by himself unto the place whereunto the Affair belongs, to give an Account of it, and to dispose of all things needful and suited unto the disposal of the Affair that he reports. Commonly indeed such a public Harbinger is inferior unto those who come after, under whose conduct the main of the affair doth abide. But this is only where he who is the Forerunner or Harbinger is so and no more. But now although the Lord Christ be a Forerunner also, yet he is more; He is the Person in whose hand lieth the whole affair and its conduct. And he was himself the Forerunner, because of the greatness of the matter he had in hand, not manageable by any other. And we may consider the words distinctly. (1) His being a Forerunner. (2) For us. (3) Where he is so, within the Veil.
