Judaism
Stands midway between Heathenism and Christianity. It rose out of Heathenism as twilight out of night and melted into Christianity as twilight into morning.
Anonymous.—Ecce Homo, Ch. 23.
There was a twilight before the dawn, and a dawn before the morning, and a morning before the day.
W. E. Gladstone.—On our Savior’s commissions to the Apostles and to the Disciples. See his remarks on “Ecco Homo,” Pa. 89.
