For the prophecy was fulfilled\r\nwhich said, “The children of Israel shall sit many days, there\r\nbeing no king, nor ruler, nor sacrifice, nor altar, nor priesthood,\r\nnor responses.”<a id=\"r794\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f794\"><sup>[794]</sup></a> And these predictions we employ to\r\nanswer those who, in their perplexity as to the words spoken\r\nin Genesis by Jacob to Judah, assert that the Ethnarch,<a id=\"r795\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f795\"><sup>[795]</sup></a>\r\nbeing of the race of Judah, is the ruler of the people, and\r\nthat there will not fail some of his seed, until the advent of\r\nthat Christ whom they figure to their imagination. But if\r\n“the children of Israel are to sit many days without a king,\r\nor ruler, or altar, or priesthood, or responses;” and if, since\r\nthe temple was destroyed, there exists no longer sacrifice, nor\r\naltar, nor priesthood, it is manifest that the ruler <i>has</i> failed\r\nout of Judah, and the leader from between his thighs. And\r\nsince the prediction declares that “the ruler shall not fail\r\nfrom Judah, and the leader from between his thighs, until\r\nwhat is reserved for him shall come,” it is manifest that He\r\nis come to whom [belongs] what is reserved—the expectation\r\nof the Gentiles. And this is clear from the multitude\r\nof the heathen who have believed on God through Jesus\r\nChrist.</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN DE PRINCIPIIS.","BOOK IV.","FROM THE GREEK."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70561-paragraph-292"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"d3b60fb3770755409b84f19413a348c73b98c589fe5b54c7abf38f1de2cade84","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 1 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie"],"edition_year":1869,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg70561-f792","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Project Gutenberg metadata: Public domain in the USA.
