{"author":null,"backreferences":[{"context_html":"<p>Malachi, foretelling the Church which we now behold propagated\r\nthrough Christ, says most openly to the Jews, in the\r\nperson of God, \"I have no pleasure in you, and I will not\r\naccept a gift at your hand. For from the rising even to the\r\ngoing down of the sun, my name is great among the nations;\r\nand in every place sacrifice shall be made, and a pure oblation\r\nshall be offered unto my name: for my name shall be great\r\namong the nations, saith the Lord.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_566_566\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_566_566\">[566]</a> Since we can already\r\nsee this sacrifice offered to God in every place, from the rising\r\nof the sun to his going down, through Christ's priesthood after\r\nthe order of Melchisedec, while the Jews, to whom it was\r\nsaid, \"I have no pleasure in you, neither will I accept a gift\r\nat your hand,\" cannot deny that their sacrifice has ceased, why\r\ndo they still look for another Christ, when they read this in\r\nthe prophecy, and see it fulfilled, which could not be fulfilled\r\nexcept through Him? And a little after he says of Him, in\r\nthe person of God, \"My covenant was with Him of life and\r\npeace; and I gave to Him that He might fear me with fear,\r\nand be afraid before my name. The law of truth was in His\r\nmouth: directing in peace He hath walked with me, and hath\r\nturned many away from iniquity. For the Priest's lips shall\r\nkeep knowledge, and they shall seek the law at His mouth:\r\nfor He is the Angel of the Lord Almighty.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_567_567\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_567_567\">[567]</a> Nor is it to be\r\nwondered at that Christ Jesus is called the Angel of the<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_261\">[Pg 261]</a></span>\r\nAlmighty God. For just as He is called a servant on account\r\nof the form of a servant in which He came to men, so He is\r\ncalled an angel on account of the <i>evangel</i> which He proclaimed\r\nto men. For if we interpret these Greek words, <i>evangel</i> is\r\n\"good news,\" and <i>angel</i> is \"messenger.\" Again he says of Him,\r\n\"Behold I will send mine angel, and He will look out the\r\nway before my face: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly\r\ncome into His temple, even the Angel of the testament,\r\nwhom ye desire. Behold, He cometh, saith the Lord Almighty,\r\nand who shall abide the day of His entry, or who shall stand\r\nat His appearing?\"<a id=\"FNanchor_568_568\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_568_568\">[568]</a> In this place he has foretold both the\r\nfirst and second advent of Christ: the first, to wit, of which he\r\nsays, \"And He shall come suddenly into His temple;\" that\r\nis, into His flesh, of which He said in the Gospel, \"Destroy\r\nthis temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_569_569\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_569_569\">[569]</a> And\r\nof the second advent he says, \"Behold, He cometh, saith the\r\nLord Almighty, and who shall abide the day of His entry, or\r\nwho shall stand at His appearing?\" But what he says, \"The\r\nLord whom ye seek, and the Angel of the testament whom ye\r\ndesire,\" just means that even the Jews, according to the Scriptures\r\nwhich they read, shall seek and desire Christ. But\r\nmany of them did not acknowledge that He whom they\r\nsought and desired had come, being blinded in their hearts,\r\nwhich were preoccupied with their own merits. Now what\r\nhe here calls the testament, either above, where he says, \"My\r\ntestament had been with Him,\" or here, where he has called\r\nHim the Angel of the testament, we ought, beyond a doubt, to\r\ntake to be the new testament, in which the things promised\r\nare eternal, and not the old, in which they are only temporal.\r\nYet many who are weak are troubled when they see the\r\nwicked abound in such temporal things, because they value\r\nthem greatly, and serve the true God to be rewarded with\r\nthem. On this account, to distinguish the eternal blessedness\r\nof the new testament, which shall be given only to the\r\ngood, from the earthly felicity of the old, which for the\r\nmost part is given to the bad as well, the same prophet says,\r\n\"Ye have made your words burdensome to me: yet ye have\r\nsaid, In what have we spoken ill of Thee? Ye have said,<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_262\">[Pg 262]</a></span>\r\nFoolish is every one who serves God; and what profit is it\r\nthat we have kept His observances, and that we have walked\r\nas suppliants before the face of the Lord Almighty? And\r\nnow we call the aliens blessed; yea, all that do wicked things\r\nare built up again; yea, they are opposed to God and are\r\nsaved. They that feared the Lord uttered these reproaches\r\nevery one to his neighbour: and the Lord hearkened and\r\nheard; and He wrote a book of remembrance before Him, for\r\nthem that fear the Lord and that revere His name.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_570_570\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_570_570\">[570]</a> By that\r\nbook is meant the New Testament. Finally, let us hear what\r\nfollows: \"And they shall be an acquisition for me, saith the\r\nLord Almighty, in the day which I make; and I will choose\r\nthem as a man chooseth his son that serveth him. And ye\r\nshall return, and shall discern between the just and the unjust,\r\nand between him that serveth God and him that serveth\r\nHim not. For, behold, the day cometh burning as an oven,\r\nand it shall burn them up; and all the aliens and all that do\r\nwickedly shall be stubble: and the day that shall come will\r\nset them on fire, saith the Lord Almighty, and shall leave\r\nneither root nor branch. And unto you that fear my name\r\nshall the Sun of Righteousness arise, and health shall be in\r\nHis wings; and ye shall go forth, and exult as calves let loose\r\nfrom bonds. And ye shall tread down the wicked, and they\r\nshall be ashes under your feet, in the day in which I shall do\r\n[this], saith the Lord Almighty.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_571_571\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_571_571\">[571]</a> This day is the day of judgment,\r\nof which, if God will, we shall speak more fully in its\r\nown place.</p>","headings":["THE CITY OF GOD.","BOOK EIGHTEENTH.","ARGUMENT."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45305-paragraph-439"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"2ea75c44780adbc5d4946e868163002767c65224b5a3d21f7e9114771db10101","edition_title":"The City of God, Volume II","edition_translators":["Marcus Dods","George Wilson (Books XVII-XVIII)"],"edition_year":1871,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"JHN","chapter":2,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"John ii. 19","verse":19,"verse_end":19}],"headings":[],"id":"pg45305-Footnote_569_569","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":"Provider catalog reports public domain in the USA.
