Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies 4.33

The true spiritual disciple receives the Spirit of God. From the beginning the Spirit was present to humanity in every disposition of God; he announced future things, showed present things, and narrated past things. He judges all people, yet no one judges him. He judges the nations, who serve the creature more than the Creator and consume their entire effort in vain with a reprobate mind. He also judges the Jews. They do not perceive the word of liberty, and they refuse to go free even though they have a Liberator present. They pretend to serve outside the Law at the wrong time, as though they needed nothing from God. They do not recognize the advent of Christ, which he accomplished for the salvation of humanity, and they refuse to understand. All the prophets announced two advents of his. The first: he became man and was struck, knowing how to bear weakness; he sat on a foal of a donkey; he was the stone rejected by the builders; he was led like a sheep to slaughter; he overcame Amalek by the extension of his hands. He gathered the scattered children from the ends of the earth into the Father's fold; he remembered his own dead who had fallen asleep, and he descended to them so that he might rescue them. The second: he will come upon the clouds, bringing a day like a burning furnace; he will strike the earth with the word of his mouth and kill the impious with the breath of his lips; he will hold a winnowing fork in his hand, clear his threshing floor, gather the wheat into his barn, and burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.
