But as we have said that all the souls who lived in\r\nthis world stood in need of many ministers, or rulers, or\r\nassistants; so, in the last times, when the end of the world\r\nis already imminent and near, and the whole human race is\r\nverging upon the last destruction, and when not only those\r\nwho were governed by others have been reduced to weakness,\r\nbut those also to whom had been committed the cares of\r\ngovernment, it was no longer such help nor such defenders\r\nthat were needed, but the help of the Author and Creator\r\nHimself was required to restore to the one the discipline of\r\nobedience, which had been corrupted and profaned, and to\r\nthe other the discipline of rule. And hence the only-begotten\r\nSon of God, who was the Word and the Wisdom of the\r\nFather, when He was in the possession of that glory with\r\nthe Father, which He had before the world was, divested\r\nHimself<a id=\"r738\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f738\"><sup>[738]</sup></a> of it, and, taking the form of a servant, was made\r\nobedient unto death, that He might teach obedience to those\r\nwho could not otherwise than by obedience obtain salvation.\r\nHe restored also the laws of rule and government<a id=\"r739\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f739\"><sup>[739]</sup></a> which had\r\nbeen corrupted, by subduing all enemies under His feet, that\r\nby this means (for it was necessary that He should reign\r\nuntil He had put all enemies under His feet, and destroyed\r\nthe last enemy—death) He might teach rulers themselves\r\nmoderation in their government. As He had come, then, to\r\nrestore the discipline, not only of government, but of obedience,\r\nas we have said, accomplishing in Himself first what\r\nHe desired to be accomplished by others, He became obedient\r\nto the Father, not only to the death of the cross, but also, in\r\nthe end of the world, embracing in Himself all whom He\r\nsubjects to the Father, and who by Him come to salvation,\r\nHe Himself, along with them, and in them, is said also to be\r\nsubject to the Father; all things subsisting in Him, and He\r\nHimself being the Head of all things, and in Him being the\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_260\">260</span>salvation and the fulness of those who obtain salvation. And\r\nthis consequently is what the apostle says of Him: “And\r\nwhen all things shall be subjected to Him, then shall the\r\nSon also Himself be subject to Him that put all things under\r\nHim, that God may be all in all.”</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN DE PRINCIPIIS.","BOOK III.","CHAPTER V.
