Maybe Spanky thinks it was a fulfillment of all the "seeing, they shall not see" verses. You know...they did "see" Roman Jesus but just didn't "see" that it was Him. But they still "saw" Him because the army was Him. So He was there, because they...you know..."saw" Him...in the Romans. Because Bocephus said so. Or something.
Watch, musty.....Something along the lines of "Why can't you understand...?" is coming from Craigie.....Or another "Darby" debate ender....
