74. Lastly, in the Book of the Kings,
Micaiah the prophet said: “I saw the Lord God of Israel
sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing around Him,
on His right hand and on His left.” 1 Kings xxii. 19. How then, when the angels stand on
the right hand and on the left of the Lord God, when all the host of
heaven stands, shall men sit on the right hand of God or on His left,
to whom is promised as a reward for virtue likeness to the angels, as
the Lord says: “Ye shall be as the angels in
heaven?” S. Matt xxii. 30. “As
the angels,” He says, not “more than the
angels.”
