Testimonia

{"author":null,"backreferences":[{"context_html":"<p>Then after Hannah has prophesied in these words, that\r\nhe who glorieth ought to glory not in himself at all, but in\r\nthe Lord, she says, on account of the retribution which is to\r\ncome on the day of judgment, \"The Lord hath ascended into\r\nthe heavens, and hath thundered: He shall judge the ends of\r\nthe earth, for He is righteous.\" Throughout she holds to the\r\norder of the creed of Christians: For the Lord Christ has\r\nascended into heaven, and is to come thence to judge the quick\r\nand dead.<a id=\"FNanchor_373_373\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_373_373\">[373]</a> For, as saith the apostle, \"Who hath ascended<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_178\">[Pg 178]</a></span>\r\nbut He who hath also descended into the lower parts of the\r\nearth? He that descended is the same also that ascended\r\nup above all heavens, that He might fill all things.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_374_374\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_374_374\">[374]</a> Therefore\r\nHe hath thundered through His clouds, which He hath\r\nfilled with His Holy Spirit when He ascended up. Concerning\r\nwhich the bond maid Jerusalem that is, the unfruitful\r\nvineyard is threatened in Isaiah the prophet that they\r\nshall rain no showers upon her. But \"He shall judge the\r\nends of the earth\" is spoken as if it had been said, \"even\r\nthe extremes of the earth.\" For it does not mean that He\r\nshall not judge the other parts of the earth, who, without\r\ndoubt, shall judge all men. But it is better to understand\r\nby the extremes of the earth the extremes of man, since\r\nthose things shall not be judged which, in the middle time,\r\nare changed for the better or the worse, but the ending in\r\nwhich he shall be found who is judged. For which reason\r\nit is said, \"He that shall persevere even unto the end, the\r\nsame shall be saved.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_375_375\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_375_375\">[375]</a> He, therefore, who perseveringly does\r\njudgment and justice in the midst of the earth shall not be\r\ncondemned when the extremes of the earth shall be judged.\r\n\"And giveth,\" she saith, \"strength to our kings,\" that He may\r\nnot condemn them in judging. He giveth them strength\r\nwhereby as kings they rule the flesh, and conquer the world\r\nin Him who hath poured out His blood for them. \"And\r\nshall exalt the horn of His Christ.\" For He of whom it was said above,\r\n\"The Lord hath ascended into the heavens,\" meaning the Lord\r\nChrist, Himself, as it is said here, \"shall exalt the horn of His\r\nChrist.\" Who, therefore, is the Christ of His Christ? Does\r\nit mean that He shall exalt the horn of each one of His believing\r\npeople, as she says in the beginning of this hymn,\r\n\"Mine horn is exalted in my God?\" For we can rightly\r\ncall all those christs who are anointed with His chrism, forasmuch\r\nas the whole body with its head is one Christ.<a id=\"FNanchor_376_376\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_376_376\">[376]</a> These\r\nthings hath Hannah, the mother of Samuel, the holy and\r\nmuch-praised man, prophesied, in which, indeed, the change\r\nof the ancient priesthood was then figured and is now fulfilled,\r\nsince she that had many children is waxed feeble, that<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_179\">[Pg 179]</a></span>\r\nthe barren who hath born seven might have the new priesthood\r\nin Christ.</p>","headings":["THE CITY OF GOD.","BOOK SEVENTEENTH.","ARGUMENT."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45305-paragraph-297"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"44a0c4b7febe3270a4098cce1f1da321e50341d87d04f0e1ec915a41ca199dcb","edition_title":"The City of God, Volume II","edition_translators":["Marcus Dods","George Wilson (Books XVII-XVIII)"],"edition_year":1871,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg45305-Footnote_376_376","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.
