   What is to be the manner of the Messiah's advent, and
where will be the place of his first appearance? He will make his
first appearance in the land of Israel, as it is written, "The Lord
whom you seek will suddenly come to his Temple" (Malachi 3:1);
but as to the manner of his appearance, until it has taken place,
you cannot know this, not so that you could say he is the son of
a specific person, or to be from this family or that person. There
shall rise up one whom none have known before, and the signs
and wonders which they shall see performed by him will be the
proofs of his true origin. For the Almighty, when he declares to
us his mind on the matter, says, "Behold a man whose name is
the Branch, and he shall branch forth from his place." (Zech. 6:12).
And Isaiah speaks similarly of the time when he will appear, without
his father or his mother being known, "He came up as a shoot
before him, and as a root out of dry earth',  (Isaiah 53:2) But
the unique phenomenon attending his manifestation is, that all
of the kings of the earth will be thrown in terror at the fame of 
him. . . in the words of Isaiah, "At him the kings of the earth
will shut their mouth; for that which had been not been told
them they have seen, and that which they had not heard they
have perceived." (Isaiah 52:15)
