Chapter XLV.—Christ’s session in
heaven foretold.
And that God the Father of all would bring
Christ to heaven after He had raised Him from the dead, and would keep
Him there1860
| 1860 So, Thirlby,
Otto, and Trollope seem all to understand the word κατέχειν; yet it
seems worth considering whether Justin has not borrowed both the sense
and the word from 2 Thess. ii. 6, 7. |
until He has subdued His enemies the devils, and until the number of
those who are foreknown by Him as good and virtuous is complete, on whose
account He has still delayed the consummation—hear what was said
by the prophet David. These are his words: “The Lord said unto My
Lord, Sit Thou at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies Thy
footstool. The Lord shall send to Thee the rod of power out of Jerusalem;
and rule Thou in the midst of Thine enemies. With Thee is the government
in the day of Thy power, in the beauties of Thy saints: from the womb of
morning1861
| 1861 Or, “before
the morning star.” | have I begotten Thee.”1862
That which he says, “He shall send
to Thee the rod of power out of Jerusalem,” is predictive of the
mighty, word, which His apostles, going forth from Jerusalem, preached
everywhere; and though death is decreed against those who teach or at all
confess the name of Christ, we everywhere both embrace and teach it. And
if you also read these words in a hostile spirit, ye can do no more, as I
said before, than kill us; which indeed does no harm to us, but to you
and all who unjustly hate us, and do not repent, brings eternal
punishment by fire.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
